The objective of this study was to evaluate various physical and mechanical properties experimental particleboard panels made from Asian giant bamboo (Dendrocalamus asper). Single layer having a density level 0.75 g/cm3 coarse fine particles were used within the scope study. Thickness swelling, water absorption, surface roughness, wettability characteristics samples tested as while bending, int...

Development of practical lithium (Li) metal batteries (LMBs) remains challenging despite promises Li anodes (LMAs), owing to dendrite formation and highly reactive surface nature. Polyolefin separators used in LMBs may undergo severe mechanical chemical deterioration when contacting with LMAs. To identify the best polyolefin separator for LMBs, this study investigated separator-deterministic cy...

We present a fabrication technique that increases the resistance of PDMS to deformation under pressure driven flow and chemical solvents swelling without the use of any foreign materials. This is achieved by enhancing the material properties of PDMS by coupling two previously isolated processes. First, the weight ratio of the prepolymer to the curing agent was increased from 10:1 to 5:1, with t...

Flexor carpi radialis (FCR) tendonitis is described as an uncommon condition that causing pain at the palmar aspect of radial wrist. FCR a middle-aged which tends to affect dominant hand. Patients with usually presents and swelling over side Resistance against deviation wrist may illicit tenderness. tendinitis can be diagnose clinically, however, radiographs MRI help confirm diagnosis. Manageme...

A geometrical model of cardiac tissue was used to compute the bidomain conductivities. We simulated ischemic conditions by adapting the geometrical model to morphological and electrical changes reported in literature. The simulated changes included 1) expansion of capillaries 2) cell swelling and 3) the closure of gap junctions, which coincide with changes associated with the three phases of is...

BACKGROUND The pathophysiology of traumatic brain swelling remains little understood. An improved understanding of intracranial circulatory process related to brain herniation may have treatment implications. OBJECTIVE To investigate the cerebral hemodynamic changes associated with brain herniation syndrome due to traumatic brain swelling. METHODS Nineteen head-injured patients with evidenc...

This paper presents an experimental investigation to identify suitable indices assess durability of glulam when subjected freeze-thaw cycles in exposed enviroenment. In this study, two types specimens were tested for their performance different levels aging due freezing and thawing. Effect treatment on various parameters including thickness swelling rate, static bending strength, elastic modulu...

Valinomycin in the presence of potassium is a potent uncoupler of corn (Zea mays L.) mitochondria, eliminating respiratory control. Valinomycin produces higher steady state potassium phosphate swelling which can be reversed to give active shrinkage if mersalyl is added to block the Pi(-)/OH(-) antiporter. Respiration declines concurrently. Uncouplers accelerate the shrinkage and restore the res...

Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is the only FDA-approved treatment for acute stroke, but its use remains limited. Progesterone (PROG) has shown neuroprotection in ischemia, but before clinical testing, we must determine how it affects hemorrhagic transformation in tPA-treated ischemic rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent middle cerebral artery occlusion with reperfusion at 4.5 hours and ...
