Abstract This paper presents new results of studying the influence parameters microplasma spraying (MPS) Zr wire on structure coatings. The coating experiments were accomplished in a two level fractional factorial design. Individual particles sprayed and their splats substrate collected under various (amperage, distance, plasma gas flow rate rate) evaluated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)...

OBJECTIVES To describe the rationale for the use of electrical stimulation (ES) for the treatment of urinary incontinence, and to summarize the results of clinical studies assessing these techniques. METHODS The effect of ES on the lower urinary tract (LUT) is explained, and the literature on clinical application of this technique is reviewed. RESULTS The use of ES is aimed at altering LUT ...

BACKGROUND Fungi are eukaryotic microorganisms including yeast and molds. Many studies have focused on modifying bacterial growth, but few on fungal growth. Microcurrent electricity may stimulate fungal growth. OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate effects of microcurrent electric stimulation on Trichophyton rubrum growth. METHODS Standard-sized inoculums of T. rubrum derived from a spor...

A simple technique for the reliable induction of coronary artery thrombosis in a conscious dog by delivery of low amperage electric current to the intimal surface of the artery io described. Ibuprofen, an agent known to inhibit platelet function and ptostaglandin synthesis is evaluated in this model. Comparison of myocardial infarct site, throabur weight, arrhythmia development and scanning ele...

The welding process is a permanent connection for metal materials using heat energy. GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) method carried out on AISI 1045 steel material with solid round shape, which has the characteristics and properties of slightly above low carbon steel. was based AWS A5.18 standard specifications, in this study. by varying amperage between 70, 90, 110 amperes as well ER70S-G seri...
