The effect on nocturnal activity of the wire mesh element within the 'buzzer and pad' enuresis alarm device was studied using healthy adult volunteers in a single or double cross-over design. On the nights when the mesh was in the bed there was less activity, supporting the finding of improved polygraphic sleep on the mesh and suggesting an unexpected therapeutic mechanism.

The present article is aimed at studying the deformation behavior of TiNi wire and knitted metal mesh under uniaxial tension revealing role geometry on their main mechanical characteristics mechanisms behavior. temperature dependence curve electrical resistance indicates that a two-stage martensitic transformation B2→R→B19′ occurring, responsible for superelasticity effect. TEM results showed r...

Fuel assemblies with wire spacer are widely used in Generation IV liquid nuclear reactors. With the rapid development of computational power, Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) method is becoming an effective tool to investigate detailed three-dimensional thermal hydraulic characteristics wire-wrapped fuel assemblies. Due complexity geometry, most published researches performed large number tetr...
