Both the cogging and electromagnetic torques depends on the shape of the flux density distribution in the airgap region. A two-dimensional (2-D) analytical method for predicting the open- circuit airgap field distribution in brushless permanent magnet motors, considering the direction of magnetization, i.e., radial or parallel, and the effect of real shape of stator slot-openings is presented i...

BACKGROUND X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 1 disease has been associated with 280 mutations in the GJB1 [gap junction protein, beta 1, 32 kDa (connexin 32, Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy, X-linked)] gene. High-resolution melting analysis with an automated instrument can be used to scan DNA for alterations, but its use in X-linked disorders has not been described. METHODS A 96-well LightScan...

The aims of this study were to evaluate the number of roots/root canals in the mandibular anterior teeth of a Turkish population, to assess the relationship between gender or age and the frequency of two canals in a single root, and to determine the symmetry in root/root canal numbers between contralateral sides among patients. Cone-beam computed tomography images (n = 1128; 6253 teeth) taken a...

In this paper, the fatigue and fracture properties of bovine dentin are evaluated using in vitro experimental analyses. Double cantilever beam (DCB) specimens were prepared from bovine maxillary molars and subjected to zeroto-tension cyclic loads. The fatigue crack growth rate was evaluated as a function of the dentin tubule orientation using the Paris law. Wedge-loaded DCB specimens were also ...

Double-stator switched reluctance motors (DSSRMs) with single-tooth winding topology possesses high torque density when compared to conventional (SRMs). However, their inherent ripple is still an issue for industrial applications. In SRMs, the shared by outgoing phase reduces significantly in commutation region. at same time, incoming does not achieve sufficient generation. This results a this ...

The fracture of restored teeth is a significant obstacle to lifelong oral health. Recent studies suggest that fatigue cracks originate at flaws introduced during cavity preparation and that fatigue crack growth is a principle cause of restored tooth fractures. In this study, the rate of fatigue crack growth in bovine dentin was estimated under mode I cyclic loading. Double cantilever beam (DCB)...
