Unlike rigid parts, deformable parts can be deformed by contact forces during assembly. For successful assembly of deformable parts, information about their deformation as well as possible misalignments between the holes and their respective mating parts are essential. However, because of the nonlinear and complex relationship between parts deformation and reaction forces, it is difficult to ac...

Background: Stroke is one of the major causes of disability. Therefore, it is important to introduce and develop new treatment approaches in order to improve and enhance post stroke recovery process for medical, social and economical purposes. Aim: To determine the effect of mirror therapy on motor ability of patients with stroke. Methods: This Randomized Controlled Trial was conducted on 38 pa...

Objectives: Hand function is critical for daily life and work, especially with the use of electronic devices. This study determined the effect of mirror therapy in individuals with asymmetrical hand function. Method: Forty-two men with asymmetrical hand function were recruited. All participants were randomly divided into two groups: sham control (n = 21) and mirror therapy (n = 21). Both group...

abstractbeing present for centuries, myths are our ancestors’ heritage that continues to reverberate in man’s unconscious mind. they contain symbols, frequently reflected in a variety of forms in literary and art works of different eras.using these symbols for depicting a panoramic world will connect myths –which are often about supernatural incidences- to mysticism –which illustrates the unsee...

The planned Ares V launch vehicle with its 10 meter fairing shroud and 55,000 kg capacity to the Sun Earth L2 point enables entirely new classes of space telescopes. NASA MSFC has conducted a preliminary study that demonstrates the feasibility of launching a 6 to 8 meter class monolithic primary mirror telescope to Sun-Earth L2 using an Ares V. Specific technical areas studied included optical ...

A unique photochemical flow reactor featuring quartz tubing, an aluminum mirror and temperature control has been developed for the photo-induced electron-transfer deoxygenation reaction to produce 2'-deoxy and 2',3'-dideoxynucleosides. The continuous flow format significantly increased the efficiency and selectivity of the reaction.
