in recent years, in order to reducing die design and manufacturing costs, multi point forming technique has gained an increasing interest because of its high flexibility. in this process, the conventional fixed shape solid die sets are replaced with a pair of opposite matrices of controllable elements. in this paper, the fundamental principles of multi-point forming was described and the possib...

Two simple geometric rules predict the wrinkle patterns of curved surfaces that are flattened.

Finding valid indicators of emotional states is one of the biggest challenges in animal welfare science. Here, we investigated in horses whether variation in the expression of eye wrinkles caused by contraction of the inner eyebrow raiser reflects emotional valence. By confronting horses with positive and negative conditions, we aimed to induce positive and negative emotional states, hypothesis...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES In this preliminary prospective study, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of nonablative wrinkle treatment using combined radiofrequency (RF) and optical energy (Polaris). The dual energy technology of Polaris, called ELOS, which stands for electro-optical synergy, uses synchronous pulses of bipolar RF current and pulsed visible light (diode laser) delivered in the s...
