Antidynein antibodies, previously shown to inhibit flagellar oscillation and active sliding of axonemal microtubules, increase the bending resistance of axonemes measured under relaxing conditions, but not the bending resistance of axonemes measured under rigor conditions. These observations suggest that antidynein antibodies can stabilize rigor cross-bridges between outer-doublet microtubules,...

The present communication tackles Non Manual Gestures (NMG) description within the context of automatic generation of French Sign Language (LSF). To generate automatically the NMG it is necessary to have sufficient knowledge on their dynamics. Blinking is not much taken into account even if its importance is underlined in several studies. Our purpose is to improve our knowledge on eye blinking ...

the joints between segmental rings can withstand a certain amount of bending moment as well as axial and shear forces. generally, in the structural analysis of tunnel segmental lining, the joints can be modeled as elastic hinges or rotational springs, and their rigidity should be demonstrated in terms of the rigidity of the joints or their rotational stiffness. therefore, the bending moment act...

Rapid inhalation induction (RII) was successfully employed for patients without myopathy. Inhalatory agents can be used for anaesthetic induction of myasthenics, avoiding the use of neuromuscular blocking agents. We studied the use of RII in 15 myasthenics (MG) and in 15 normal subjects (nMG), measuring induction time (TI), cardiorespiratory effects, complications, and evaluated the patient's r...

Carbon / epoxy composite is one of the most useful polymer matrix composites that has special properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio, high hardness, high corrosion resistance, Resistance to nuclear radiation has high consumption in different industries such as aerospace industry. Therefor monitoring of loading of this type of composite is important. In order to determine failure mecha...

influences of temperature as well as holding time on physical and mechanical properties of fir wood were studied in this work during the oleothermal wood modification. wood samples were cut and treated oleothermally in the soybean oil at 200 and 230°c for the holding time of 1, 3 and 5 hours. weights and the dimensions were measured before and after treatment. bending strengths, water absorptio...

Current approach for designing of reinforced concrete members is based on the load and resistance factor. However the load and resistance parameters are random variables, the constant values have been designated for them in the designing procedure. Assuming these factors as the constants, will be led to the unsafe and uneconomical designs. Safe designing of structures requires appropriate recog...

AIM The objective of this study was to formulate and evaluate a unique matrix mixture (nanomiemgel) of nanomicelle and nanoemulsion containing aceclofenac and capsaicin using in vitro and in vivo analyses and to compare it to a marketed formulation (Aceproxyvon). METHODS Nanomicelles were prepared using Vitamin E TPGS by solvent evaporation method and nanoemulsion was prepared by high-pressur...

in this study, in order to constitute polyelectrolyte multilayers (pem) using layer-by-layer nanotechnology, recycled fibers were subsequently treated with cationic starch (cs) and anionic starch (as) multi-layers each layer conducted at neutral ph for 10 minutes. also, to compare with mechanical of refining, the pulp was refined for 25 minutes to the freeness of about 291 ml.csf using valley b...
