Most pumping actions entail a physical volume change of the duct, which is frequently achieved by having compliant wall or membrane. To best our knowledge, current study first report on mathematical model developed to analyze peristaltic transport Newtonian fluid in curved duct with rectangular face and walls. Such geometries are most commonly used clinical biological equipment, where walls nee...

A theory is described for propagation of vortical waves across alternate rigid and compliant panels. The structure in the fluid side at the junction of panels is a highly vortical narrow viscous structure which is idealized as a wave driver. The wave driver is modelled as a ‘half source cum half sink’. The incoming wave terminates into this structure and the outgoing wave emanates from it. The ...

Steel studs are an inevitable part of drywall construction as they lightweight and offer the required structural stability. However, act sound bridges between plasterboards, reducing overall insulation wall. Overcoming this often calls for wider cavity walls complex stud decoupling fixtures that increase installation cost while floor area. As alternative approach, research reveals potential per...

BACKGROUND Attitude and subjective well-being are important factors in mothers accepting or rejecting Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) supplemental immunization. The purpose of the study was to determine the role of mothers' attitude and subjective wellbeing on non-compliance to OPV supplemental immunization in Northern Nigeria. METHODS The study utilized a cross-sectional design to assess attitude a...

1. Abstract In recent years, a compliant mechanism has been paid to attention as a new mechanism to replace a traditional rigid link mechanism and the use of compliant mechanisms in mechanical products, medical instruments and MEMS can be expected to increase. In our previous research, we focused on a vehicle suspension as a promising application target of a compliant mechanism and proposed an ...

AIM To identify factors associated with compliance of scheduled outpatient developmental follow-up appointments in an effort to better ensure future care. METHODS This retrospective observational cohort study looked at patients born between January 7(th) 2006 and June 30(th) 2007 and discharged from a regional neonatal intensive care unit (RNICU). Discharge summaries were reviewed to attain i...

OBJECTIVE Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is major problem after hip fracture surgery with substantial morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to assess the postoperative compliance of thromboprophylaxis in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery and to confirm the correlation between compliance and VTE risk. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included consecutive elderly hip fra...
