Abstract This article presents the application and evaluation of a cantilever with integrated sensing actuation as part an atomic force microscope (AFM) adjustable probe direction, which is into nano measuring machine (NMM-1). The AFM, operated in closed-loop intermittent contact mode, based on two rotational axes that enable adjustment direction to cover complete hemisphere. greatly enlarge me...

The tetragonal heavy-fermion compound ${\mathrm{CeAuSb}}_{2}$ (space group $P4/nmm$) exhibits incommensurate spin-density wave (SDW) order below ${T}_{N}\ensuremath{\approx}6.5\phantom{\rule{4pt}{0ex}}\text{K}$ with the propagation vector ${\mathbf{q}}_{A}=({\ensuremath{\delta}}_{A},{\ensuremath{\delta}}_{A},1/2)$. application of uniaxial stress along [010] direction induces a sudden change in ...

Abstract The article presents a redesigned sensor holder for an atomic force microscope (AFM) with adjustable probe direction, which is integrated into nano measuring machine (NMM-1). AFM, consisting of commercial piezoresistive cantilever operated in closed-loop intermitted contact-mode, based on two rotational axes, enable the adjustment direction to cover complete hemisphere. axes greatly en...

Numerical modeling and simulation of many electromagnetic (EM) multiphysics problems encounter challenges from geometrical material complexities, large-scale issues, multiscale issues. Examples include the complex microwave devices systems, design integrated circuits packages, natural or artificial materials, antenna arrays, analysis EM wave propagation in environments, optimization parameters ...

Knowledge of the mechanical properties of the brain-skull interface is important for surgery simulation and injury biomechanics. These properties are known only to a limited extent. In this study we conducted in situ indentation of the sheep brain, and proposed to derive the macroscopic mechanical properties of the brain-skull interface from the results of these experiments. To the best of our ...

OBJECTIVE Posterior-to-anterior directed screws are stronger than anterior-to-posterior directed screws for coronoid fracture fixation. Anterior approaches that facilitate direct reduction and fixation of coronoid fractures have been described. The present study was based on the hypothesis that anterior-to-posterior headless screw (Acutrak Mini® 3.5 mm × 26 mm, Acumed, Hillsboro, Oregon, USA) f...

PURPOSE To compare tibial fracture healing in rats with or without soft-tissue attachment. METHODS The left tibias of 30 Wistar rats were osteotomised and equally randomised into 3 groups. In the avascular segmental fracture group, an 8-mm bone segment were first removed and then immediately put back. In the vascular segmental fracture group, the 8-mm bone segment was not displaced, with peri...

PURPOSE The use of new headless compression screws (HCSs) for scaphoid fixation is growing, but the nonunion rate has remained constant. The aim of this study was to compare the stability of fixation resulting from four modern HCSs using a simulated fracture model to determine the optimal screw design(s). METHODS We tested 40 fresh-frozen cadaver scaphoids treated with the Acumed Acutrak 2 mi...
