OBJECTIVES To determine whether there are differences in pressure and flow measurements between conventional cystometry (CONV) and ambulatory urodynamic monitoring (AMB) in women with overactive bladder syndrome and urinary incontinence. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective study which included female subjects who underwent both CONV (with saline filling medium) and AMB, separated by less than...

This article is dedicated to investigating the nonlinear dynamical behaviors of 8-pole rotor active magnetic bearing system. The rub and impact forces between rotating disc pole-legs are included in studied model for first time. A new control scheme based on modifying positions has been introduced. proposed methodology designed such that four poles only located horizontal vertical directions (i...

Active magnetic bearings (AMBs) have limited dynamic load capacity due to saturation. Hence, large external disturbances (such as shock loads) may cause contact between the rotor and touchdown (TDBs), which evolve into complex behaviour damage machine. This paper considers responses of a viable re-levitation control options when AMB is still functional. Bi-stable shock-induced persistent forwar...

The origin of the magnetic anisotropy is explained in an assembly of aligned magnetic nanoparticles. For that, nanoparticles synthesized biologically by Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1 magnetotactic bacteria are used. For the first time, it is possible to differentiate between the two contributions arising from the alignment of the magnetosome easy axes and the strength of the magnetosome dip...

The measurement of autoantibodies to thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) is important for the diagnosis of autoimmune thyroid disease such as Graves' disease (GD). Although TSHR from porcine thyroid membrane is commonly used for the measurement of TSHR autoantibodies (TRAb), recombinant human TSHR (hTSHR) remains ideal in terms of stable supply and species identity. Here we set out to e...

A compact axial active magnetic bearing with a function of two-tilt-motion control is fabricated which has a new configuration of magnetic poles. They consist of four cylindrical poles with coils and a single common pole whose opposite plane of the rotor has a permanent magnet to achieve multi-degree-of-freedom zero power control. Modal control is applied because local zero power control may ma...

• BPEP could effectively internalize poorly lipid soluble AMB. possess good bio-adhesiveness, and improves ocular delivery of significantly prolonged drugs retention time on the surface. BPEP-AMB inhibited fungal keratitis with a better efficiency than currently available drugs. Even though is severe corneal disease that can lead to permanent vision loss, its therapeutic management still proble...
