Thickness stretching effect based on shear and normal deformation theory is used in this paper for magneto-electro-elastic vibration analysis of a three-layered curved nanobeam including a nano core and two piezo-magnetic layers. Size-dependency is included in derivation of governing equations of motion based Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory. The initial curvature is accounted in calculatio...

Abstract Background The vestibular system can perceive sound at high intensity levels. recording of evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) is one the clinical techniques that capture when activated by sound. In healthy individuals, it has been demonstrated VEMP thresholds are lower using low-frequency stimuli, particularly 500 Hz tone burst. Aging affects frequency tuning, causing shift to higher f...

Xenon 133 inhalation CBF studies of one hundred patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease in the territory of the carotid artery were compared in an attempt to gain more insight into the collateral capacity, especially in those with a stenosis or occlusion of one of the major arteries. Asymmetry of the ISI values for the two hemispheres was expressed as a ratio. High ratios (greater ISI as...

We examine the dynamic interaction of the population age structure, economic dependency, and fertility, paying particular attention to the role of intergenerational transfers. In the short run, a reduction in fertility produces a “demographic dividend” that allows for higher consumption. In the long run, however, higher old-age dependency can more than offset this effect. To analyze these dynam...

Effects of age on cyclosporin A- (CsA) induced gingival overgrowth were investigated in Fischer rats. Rats 15, 30, 45, and 60 days old were fed a diet containing cyclosporin A (120-200 micrograms/g) for 40 days. Gingival overgrowth was estimated by measuring the gingival sulcus depth with a thin color slide probe under a stereoscopic dissecting microscope. The youngest group (15 days old) of ra...

Tumors were induced in Regional Poultry Research Laboratory line 6 chickens inoculated in the wing web with Rous sarcoma virus the Bryan high-liter strain of pseudotype, at 1, 14, and 28 days of age. Tumor regression failed to occur in chicks inoculated at 1 and 14 days of age, but an incidence of regression of 50% was observed in chicks inocu lated at 28 days of age. Chick survival time postin...
