OBJECTIVE This study aimed to measure insertion torque, tip mechanical resistance to fracture and transmucosal neck of mini-implants (MI) (Conexão Sistemas de PróteseT), as well as to analyze surface morphology. METHODS Mechanical tests were carried out to measure the insertion torque of MIs in different cortical thicknesses, and tip mechanical resistance to fracture as well as transmucosal n...

This investigation was designed to examine 1) the relationship between motor-unit activation (as recorded by integrated EMG) and speed of contraction and 2) the relationship between mechanical work, power output, peak torque, average torque, and both velocity of movement and integrated electromyographic recordings in the elbow flexor muscles. A series of isokinetic contractions of the elbow fle...

The subject of the presented research project is the exact knowledge about the parameters influencing the operating characteristics and limiting the maximum power of low pressure hydraulic vane type machines, used as drives for ship-deck machinery, to obtain a full utilisation of the potential of these motor type, and the intera ction between biodegradable hydraulic fluids and hydrostatic units...
