Reciprocating microfluidic drug delivery, as compared to steady or pulsed infusion, has unique features which may be advantageous in many therapeutic applications. We have previously described a device, designed for wearable use in small animal models, that periodically infuses and then withdraws a sub-microliter volume of drug solution to and from the endogenous fluid of the inner ear. This de...

There is an extensive literature across the humanities and social sciences on reciprocity as a fundamental driver of human behavior, and yet attempts to bring the main arguments from the diverse literatures together in a single interdisciplinary space remain scarce. This article aims to collate many of the main arguments from these literatures with the intention of speculating how reciprocity m...

Condition monitoring data collection capabilities have grown over the last decade in large part due to advances in integrated circuits (IC). These advances now permit real time thermodynamic and process calculations on desktop computing platforms. With these capabilities, the sophistication and amount of data available to the users of rotating and reciprocating equipment has grown exponentially...

Background and Aim: Cleaning and shaping is one of the important steps in endodontic treatment, which has an important role in root canal treatment outcome. This study evaluated the rate of file fracture and file deformation in Neolix rotary system and K-files in shaping of the mesiobuccal canal of maxillary first molars with moderate curvature.    Materials and Methods: In this ex vivo exp...

Objective: To compare the root canal preparation of primary teeth with reciprocating and rotary NiTi instruments. Material Methods: Electronic databases (PubMed/MEDLINE, Web Science, TRIP, Lilacs, Embase, Scopus) were systematically searched until October 2020. In vitro studies comparing cleaning ability, debris extrusion, file deformation, or working time instruments in evaluated. Two reviewer...

Cold rolling process of a major transformation in the form of sheet metal and a wide range of steel products are produced in this way. Elastic deformation during cold rolling working rollers and the inevitable increase in the rolling force. In this study, the effect of elastic deformation during cold rolling mill rollers working on the reciprocating back and forth in tandem with the presence of...

The application of carbon dioxide as natural refrigerant in commercial refrigeration systems has attracted higher interest in recent years for its promising energy efficiency and ecological sustainability. This paper presented the development of a low side scroll compressor for the bottle cooler application in the trans-critical cycle. Experimental tests were performed in two different temperat...

Reciprocating tachycardia in a patient with a leftsided atrioventricular accessory pathway (AP) (Kent bundle, type A) capable only of ventriculo-atrial (V-A) transmission is described. The V-A AP is established as an essential link of the tachycardia circuit, as evidenced by: 1) retrograde atrial activation of the left atrium (LA) 60 msec or more before the low and high right atrium during reci...
