A new roller hearth kiln(RHK) has been developed, which satisfies not only the highest quality of Mn-Zn ferrites, but also large quantity of production. Using the RHK (the length is SOm), the total sintering time is reduced to less than 11 hours, that is shorter than the half of the case of pusher kiln. Then the productive capacity of the RHK achieved 100 ton per month. Moreover, the control of...

The stability of a total knee arthroplasty is determined by the ability of the prosthesis components in concert with supportive bone and soft tissue structures to sufficiently resist deforming forces transmitted across the knee joint. Constrained prostheses are used in unstable knees due to their ability to resist varus and valgus transformative forces across the knee. Constraint requires inher...

Staphylococcus aureus employs the receptor histidine kinase (RHK), AgrC, to detect quorum-sensing (QS) pheromones, the autoinducer peptides (AIPs), which regulate the virulence of the bacterium. Variation in the QS circuit divides S. aureus into four subgroups, each producing a specific AIP-AgrC pair. While the timing of QS induction is known to differ among these subgroups, the molecular basis...

PURPOSE Long-term acyclovir (ACV) prophylaxis, recommended to prevent recurrent herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) ocular disorders, may pose a risk for ACV-refractory disease due to ACV resistance. We determined the effect of ACV prophylaxis on the prevalence of corneal ACV-resistant (ACV(R)) HSV-1 and clinical consequences thereof in patients with recurrent HSV-1 keratitis (rHK). METHODS F...

PURPOSE Herpetic keratitis is a common sequel of a corneal infection with herpes simplex virus (HSV)-1. Recrudescent herpetic keratitis (RHK) may result in irreversible damage to the cornea. Recurrences may be caused by reactivation of endogenous HSV-1 or reinfection with exogenous HSV-1. The objective of this study was to determine the incidence and risk factors involved of HSV-1 superinfectio...

Kecamatan Kedungkandang kota Malang merupakan salah satu daerah dengan pengguna kendaraan sepeda motor yang cukup tinggi dan pada persimpangan bersinyal memiliki empat lengan pendekat yaitu Jalan Raya Ki Ageng Gribig, Danau Jonge, Gerbang Tol Kota Malang, dimana tersebut sering terjadi kemacetan diakibatkan banyaknya melewati tersebut.
 Untuk mengatasi hal tersebut, maka perlu dilakukan pe...

Ruang henti khusus (RHK) sepeda motor ialah ruangan yang disediakan pada ujung mulut persimpangan hanya dikhususkan untuk saat lampu merah menyala. Di Kota Jambi hampir di setiap telah diterapkan Henti Khusus motor. Menurut pandangan dari masyarakat RHK tersebut masih belum bisa digunakan sesuai fungsinya dikarenakan ada tidak mengetahui apa fungsi tersebut. Untuk meninjau hal penulis melakukan...

Let m, k be natural numbers. One can check that RHK(m,k) is real. Let m, k be natural numbers. Then RHK(m,k) is a real number. In this article we present several logical schemes. The scheme ExComplex CASE deals with a binary functor F yielding an element of C, and states that: For every k there exists s1 such that for every n holds if n ≤ k, then s1(n) = F (k,n) and if n > k, then s1(n) = 0C fo...

Carbon fiber reinforced poly-ether-ether-ketone (CFR-PEEK) represents a promising alternative material for bushings in total knee replacements, after early clinical failures of polyethylene in this application. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the damage modes and the extent of damage observed on CFR-PEEK hinge mechanism articulation components after in vivo service in a rotat...
