introduction: formalin injection induces nociceptive bahaviour in phase i and ii, with a quiescent phase between them. while active inhibitory mechanisms are proposed to be responsible for initiation of interphase, the exact mechanisms which lead to termination of nociceptive response in phase ii are not clear yet. phase ii is a consequence of peripheral and central sensitization processes, whi...

The spray formation and breakup of n-dodecane was investigated experimentally on a common rail diesel injector using a long working distance microscope. The objectives were to further the fundamental understanding of the processes involved in the initial stage of diesel spray formation under engine-like operating conditions, i.e. high ambient pressure and temperature. Present measurements show ...

Background: Spasticity is one of the problems after a stroke. Due to this increase in muscle tone, patients are confronted with problems in motor control and difficulties in activities of daily living and complications such as shortness and contracture. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of the simultaneous use of both splint and botulinum toxin-A (BTX-A) injection on spasticity, ...

SpaceWire networks may include units, such as memory or processor units, which are bandwidth limited and in high demand by several other units. Such modules are termed Hot Modules. SpaceWire uses wormhole routing to deliver packets comprising multiple flits (N-chars). Wormhole routing helps minimize the number of buffers and the transmission latency. On the other hand, under high load, the netw...
