Owing to some of its specific advantages, magnetorheological fluid (MRF) has drawn significant attention in a broad range modern precision machining fields. With the diversification and increase demand, many novel structural configurations processing methods have been applied mechanical equipment. Although different applications using MRF proposed existing literature, classification, latest app...

Abstract As one of the most important mechanical parameters magnetorheological fluids (MRF), normal force has been studied by a large number researchers using various experimental equipment and methods. However, it is difficult to reveal effects particle microstructure characteristics on MRF methods, especially for such factor as size distribution. To advance this research area, numerical metho...

Recently, our collaborative work in the fabrication of a magnetorheological fluid (MRF) containing high magnetization FeCo nanoparticles (NPs, fabricated laboratories using chemical reduction technique; MS = 212 Am2/kg) as magnetic fillers have resulted new MRF with superior performance up to 616.7 kA/m. The had yield stress value 2729 Pa and good reversibility after demagnetization process. Th...

Single medullary reticular formation (MRF) neurons receive multiple somatovisceral convergent inputs originating from many different spinal and cranial nerves, including the pelvic nerve (PN), dorsal nerve of the penis (DNP), and the abdominal branches of the vagus. In a previous study, the input to MRF from the male genitalia was shown to be eliminated with chronic 30-day dorsal hemisection at...

Introduction: The H.264/AVC (Advanced Video Coding) codec has introduced multiple reference frames (MRF) for inter-prediction, in contrast to the single-reference frame of the earlier codecs such as H.263 version 1. In addition to the increased compression efficiency obtained by MRF, soon it was realised that MRF could also be used as a technique to prevent error propagation in video streaming ...

A hybrid damper concept is presented here using a combination of Magnetorheological (MR) Fluid (MRF) and Shape Memory Alloy (SMA)-based energy dissipation. demonstration performed utilizing the shear operating mode MRF one-way effect SMA. The damping performance different MRF-SMA configurations investigated corresponding consumption evaluated. We demonstrate that operation SMA dampers complemen...

Although the transcription factors required for the generation of oligodendrocytes and CNS myelination during development have been relatively well established, it is not known whether continued expression of the same factors is required for the maintenance of myelin in the adult. Here, we use an inducible conditional knock-out strategy to investigate whether continued oligodendrocyte expressio...

OBJECTIVE Markov random field (MRF) models have been traditionally applied to the task of robust-to-noise image segmentation. Most approaches estimate MRF parameters on the whole image via a global expectation-maximization (EM) procedure. The resulting estimated parameters are likely to be uncharacteristic of local image features. Instead, we propose to distribute a set of local MRF models with...

The 5'-flanking region of the myelin basic protein (MBP) contains several regulatory elements that differentially contribute to the cell type-specific transcription of MBP in cells derived from the central nervous system. The distal regulatory element, termed MB3, had previously been shown to have characteristics of a cell type-specific enhancer element and bind to multiple brain-derived nuclea...

Magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) is highly promising as a quantitative MRI technique due to its accuracy, robustness, and efficiency. Previous studies have found high repeatability reproducibility of 2D MRF acquisitions in the brain. Here, we extended our investigations 3D covering whole brain using spiral projection k-space trajectories. Our travelling head study acquired test/retest da...
