We present the design and experimental analysis of a dielectrophoretic trap composed of four microfabricated gold posts excited in a quadrupolar fashion. Using quantitative modeling tools, we have designed these extruded traps to attain strong holding against flow while being constrained by a set of system parameters. The extruded geometry consists of cylindrical electrodes in a trapezoidal arr...

A case of an extruded cervical intervertebral disc at C7-D1 level with intradiscal hematoma in a 68-year-old male patient is presented. MR imaging showed a posterolateral extradural hemorrhagic lesion at C7-D1 level. It was suggestive of an epidural hematoma or a bleed within a neoplasm. A posterior approach was adopted and an extruded intervertebral disc with intradiscal hematoma was found and...

In the present study, 1.1 volume percent of nano size copper was incorporated into pure tin using hybrid microwave sintering assisted powder metallurgy route. Microwave sintered samples were extruded both at room temperature and at 230 °C. Microstructural characterization studies were conducted on the extruded samples to investigate the distribution characteristics of secondary phase and grain ...

BACKGROUND Periodontal disease is highly prevalent amongst domestic cats, causing pain, gingival bleeding, reduced food intake, loss of teeth and possibly impacts on overall systemic health. Diet has been suggested to play a role in the development of periodontal disease in cats. There is a complete lack of information about how diet (composition and texture) affects the feline oral microbiome,...

Abstract Human-grade pet foods have been shown to be highly palatable and digestible, resulting in reduced stool volume, but their impact on the gut microbiome has not well studied. Therefore, our objective was compare fecal characteristics of dogs consuming a human-grade or extruded kibble diet. Female beagles (n = 20; BW 10.25±0.82 kg; age 3.85±1.84 yr) were used completely randomized design....

BACKGROUND Endodontic instrumentation carries the risk of over extrusion of debris and bacteria. The technique used and the type of instrumentation influences this risk. AIM The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the K-file, ProTaper hand and ProTaper rotary instrumentation systems for the amount of apically extruded debris, irrigant solution and intracanal bacteria. DESIGN E...

Mixtures of cereals and legumes result in products with higher content of high biological value proteins. The thermoplastic extrusion promotes the transformation of chemical, physical and nutritional characteristics of the food such as starch gelatinization and promotes the inactivation of anti-nutritional compounds and enzymes. This study aimed to develop products extruded using broken rice an...
