Weight reduction is a recurring concern in the design of modern mechanical systems. This search may lead engineers to resort using gears with holes order meet their requirements. paper presents methodology carry out nonlinear dynamic analyses gear transmission blanks subjected multiharmonic internal excitation. work investigates influence these on vibration levels, occurrence contact loss and p...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES It is important to analyze right-sided chest electrocardiograms (ECGs) to rule out combined right ventricular infarction in patients with inferior wall infarction. However, the patterns of right-sided chest ECGs in healthy adults have not been thoroughly investigated. This study was conducted to analyze the normal patterns of ECGs and the prevalence of ST segment eleva...

This paper studies a model of memory. The model takes into account that memory capacity is limited and imperfect. We study how agents with such memory limitations, who have very little information about their choice environment, play games. Our results suggest that players do better in games than in decision problems because of their ability to in‡uence the environment they face. We also show t...

Background Tissue expansion is a well-established technique in reconstructive surgery. Self-inflating tissue expanders (STE) have not been widely adopted by veterinary surgeons, and clinical descriptions of their use horses are lacking. Objective To describe the indications, experiences outcomes series equine cases that used hydrogel-based STE to assist soft reconstruction. Study design Prospec...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether supernatants of cultured human oral keratinocytes (HOK) exposed to an aqueous extract of smokeless tobacco (STE) increase macromolecular efflux from the oral mucosa in vivo and, if so, whether bradykinin mediates in part this response. Subconfluent monolayers of HOK were incubated with STE or media, and supernatants were collected 24, 48, and 7...

AIMS To evaluate the diagnostic power of abnormal global longitudinal strain (GLS) to detect non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in the resting echocardiogram. GLS using two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2D STE) is a powerful tool for detecting advanced CAD. However, the diagnostic power of 2D STE for detecting moderate, clinically unapparent CAD from images obtained ...

OBJECTIVE Novel echocardiographic techniques, such as speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) and tissue Doppler imaging, are sensitive tools for assessing left ventricular (LV) performance. LV global longitudinal strain (GLS), assessed by STE, is a sensitive marker of myocardial systolic function. Cardiovascular complications in patients with Cushing's disease (CD) determine a higher mortality...

Software Testing Effort (STE), which contributes about 25-40% of the total development effort, plays a significant role in software development. In addressing the issues faced by companies in finding relevant datasets for STE estimation modeling prior to development, cross-company modeling could be leveraged. The study aims at assessing the effectiveness of cross-company and withincompany proje...

Lipid particles of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae are storage compartments for triacylglycerols (TAG) and steryl esters (STE). Four gene products, namely the TAG synthases Dga1p and Lro1p, and the STE synthases Are1p and Are2p contribute to storage lipid synthesis. A yeast strain lacking the four respective genes is devoid of lipid particles thus providing a valuable tool to study the physi...
