Patch pipettes were used to record the current arising from small populations of sodium channels in voltage-clamped cut-open squid axons. The current fluctuations associated with the time-variant sodium conductance were analyzed with nonstationary statistical techniques in order to obtain an estimate for the conductance of a single sodium channel. The results presented support the notion that t...

in the present work, study of the vibration of a functionally graded (fg) cylindrical shell made up of stainless steel, zirconia, and nickel is presented. free vibration analysis is presented for fg cylindrical shells with simply supported-simply supported and clamped–clamped boundary condition based on temperature independent material properties. the equations of motion are derived by hamilton...

In the present work the pull-in voltage of a micro cracked cantilever beam subjected to nonlinear electrostatic pressure was studied. Two mathematical models were employed for modeling the problem: a lumped mass model and a classical beam model. The effect of crack in the lumped mass model is the reduction of the effective stiffness of the beam and in the beam model; the crack is modeled as a m...

We consider mixed problems for the Kirchhoff elastic and thermoelastic systems, subject to boundary control in the clamped boundary conditions BC (clamped control). If w denotes the elastic displacement and θ the temperature, we establish sharp regularity of {w,wt ,wtt } in the elastic case, and of {w,wt ,wtt ,θ} in the thermoelastic case. Our results complement those by Lagnese and Lions (1988...

BACKGROUND Drainage is a routine practice used to reduce hematoma and blood loss following total hip arthroplasty. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of clamped drainage on blood loss and wound healing after total hip arthroplasty. METHODS A prospective cohort of 44 patients with hip osteoarthritis or femur head necrosis undergoing total hip arthroplasty was randomized equally int...

BACKGROUND Clamping and cutting of the umbilical cord is the most prevalent of all operations, but the optimal timing of cord clamping is controversial, with different timings offering advantages and disadvantages. This study, for the first time, compares the influence of early and late cord clamping in correlation with oxidative stress and inflammation signaling, Because cord clamping timing m...

We consider mixed problems for Kirchhoff elastic and thermoelastic systems, subject to boundary control in the clamped Boundary Conditions B.C. (“clamped control”). If w denotes elastic displacement and θ temperature, we establish optimal regularity of {w, wt, wtt} in the elastic case, and of {w, wt, wtt, θ} in the thermoelastic case. Our results complement those presented in (Lagnese and Lions...

We present a new technique for choosing spatial regions for X-ray spectroscopy, called " contour binning ". The method chooses regions by following contours on a smoothed image of the object. In addition we re-explore a simple method for adaptively smoothing X-ray images according to the local count rate, we term " accumulative smoothing " , which is a generalisation of the method used by FADAP...
