in this paper, based on equations of lateral vibrations of wires, a non contact method for measuring instantaneous tension in a wire is introduced. the lateral vibration of the string is measured using an eddy current transducer and is sent to a computer. this signal is then imported to suitable software for fast fourier transform (fft) processing. the first natural frequency of the string is c...

this study compares the functional capabilities of different metacarpal fixation constructs under physiological loadings in an attempt to identify the optimal construct rather than the strongest one. one hundred and twenty-six preserved human metacarpals were mechanically tested after oblique osteotomies and internal fixation. maximum load to failure, average structural rigidity, and energy abs...

ells only exit metaphase if all their chromosomes are both attached and under tension from microtubules of the bipolar spindle, which pull on sister kinetochores that face in opposite directions. report that tension creation requires Mtw1p and associated proteins, and is sensed by the conserved Ipl1p/Aurora B protein kinase. In the current model for Ipl1p action, many chromosomes initially have...

Through this study, the ability of a modified Peng-Robinson (MPR) equation of state in predicting the surface tension of n-alkanes based on the density functional theory approach was investigated and compared with other studies. The interfacial layer thickness and the density profile were calculated simultaneously at different temperatures from triple point to near critical point using the modi...
