To overcome strong drilling force and over high temperature during orthopedic surgery, the four medical drills with different geometrical shapes by using superhard materials were designed. The bone drilling temperature field of superhard drill was theoretical analyzed. Results showed that brazed step drill has the most ideal drilling temperature. It controls the maximum bone temperature below 4...

Litherland has shown that if a knot is (+)-amphicheiral then its m-twist-spin is reversible. We show that, for classical knots, in many cases the converse holds. The irreversibility (sometimes called noninvertibility) of certain twist-spun knots has been established by Ruberman [10], using the Farber-Levine linking pairing and the Casson-Gordon invariants. More recently, alternative proofs of t...

BACKGROUND Several studies have implicated viral infection as an important factor in the pathogenesis of IPF and related fibrotic lung disorders. Viruses are thought to cause epithelial cell injury and promote epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a process whereby differentiated epithelial cells undergo transition to a mesenchymal phenotype, and considered a source of fibroblasts in the set...

The language theoretic operation twist from [JaPe 87] is studied in connection with the semiAFLs of languages accepted by reversal bounded multipushdown and multicounter acceptors. It is proved that the least twist -closed trio generated by MIR := fwwrev j w 2 fa; bg g is equal to the family of languages accepted in quasirealtime by nondeterministic one-way multipushdown acceptors which operate...

TWIST, an epithelial-mesenchymal transition inducer, has been thought to play a critical role in the progression of a number of malignancies. Published studies reporting the association of TWIST expression with oral carcinoma risk has yielded conflicting results. Thus, we conducted a meta-analysis to address this controversy. After rigorous searching and screening, a total of seven studies were...

2014 Modern rapid-freezing methods followed by freeze-fracture replication techniques are ideally suited to allow the direct visualization of the three-dimensional structure and defects of thermotropic smectic and cholesteric liquid crystalline phases with resolution approaching molecular dimensions. Cholesterol nonanoate was quench frozen from near the smecticcholesteric transition to reveal e...

In this paper an analytic formulation of the statics and the instantaneous kinematics of robot manipulators based on the Grassmann-Cayley algebra is presented. The notions of twist, wrench, twist space and wrench space are mathematically represented by the concept of extensors of this algebra and the reciprocity relation between twist and wrench spaces of partially constrained rigid bodies is r...

The stability of a railway bridge is mainly governed by level of acceleration, vertical displacement, and twist. While acquiring acceleration is relatively easy task in the data measurement respective, displacement and twist are very challenging due to lack of appropriate sensors. Furthermore, as most existing displacement sensors are confined to measuring single displacement, twist which is ob...

Metastasis, the foremost cause of mortality in cancer patients, is increasingly recognized as a coordinated biological process. The multistep process of metastasis posts difficulty in studying its mechanism and molecular basis. Recent works have shown that the basic helix-loop-helix transcriptional factor Twist and the serine/threonine kinase AKT play pivotal roles in tumor development and prog...

We analyze the twist-4 contributions to Bjorken and Ellis-Jaffe sum rules for spin-dependent structure function g1(x,Q ). We investigate the anomalous dimensions of the twist-4 operators which determine the logarithmic correction to the 1/Q behavior of the twist-4 contribution by evaluating off-shell Green’s functions in both flavor non-singlet and singlet case. It is shown that the EOM operato...
