Results. Extreme blood pressure values generally responded by upand downregulation toward normal values. Fingertip temperature (FT°) increased in both kinetic movement and amplitude from the beginning to the end of treatment and correlated directly with the rate of the EEG NeuroBioFeedback Treatment of Patients with Brain Injury Part 4: Duration of Treatments as a Function of Both the Initial L...

one of the common methods to cure unsaturated polyester resins is to use dual initiators. in order to produce an appropriate composite, it is necessary to know the effect of dual initiators on curing behavior. in this paper the effect of benzoyl peroxide, bpo, and tertiary butyl perbenzoate, tbpb, and their mixtures on thermal curing of an unsaturated polyester resin have been investigated. bpo...

background: a few studies have investigated the effect of the activation mode of adhesive systems on bond strength of fi ber posts to root canal dentin. this study investigated the push-out bond strengths of a glass fi ber post to different root canal regions with the use of two adhesives with light- and dual-cure polymerization modes. materials and methods: in this in vitro study, 40 maxillary...

A serious limitation in the study of protein folding reactions resides in the lack of experimental methods to measure the absolute height of the free energy barrier. This is particularly unfortunate given that if folding barriers are small, as theory predicts, it might be possible to resolve folding mechanisms directly. Here we explore the performance of a recently developed method to extract f...

Highly aromatic tricyanate ester resins exhibit glass transition temperatures well in excess of 350 degrees Celsius when thermally cured to full conversion. In many cases, though, complete conversion is difficult to achieve in practice due to the highly rigid nature of the molecules. A thorough understanding of the cure process is thus important for realizing the full potential of these materia...

The cementing manufacturing process of ferrite phase shifters has the defect that cementing strength is insufficient and fractures always appear. A detection method of these defects was studied utilizing the multi-sensors Prognostic and Health Management (PHM) theory. Aiming at these process defects, the reasons that lead to defects are analyzed in this paper. In the meanwhile, the key process ...

Purified bovine rhodopsin was reconstituted into vesicles consisting of 1-stearoyl-2-oleoyl phosphatidylcholine or 1-stearoyl-2-docosahexaenoyl phosphatidylcholine with and without 30 mol % cholesterol. Rhodopsin stability was examined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The thermal unfolding transition temperature (T(m)) of rhodopsin was scan rate-dependent, demonstrating the presen...

To further understand the effect of chrome tanning on the thermal stability of leather, the thermal shrinkage behaviors of native and chrome-tanned collagen fibers were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) using isoconversional and multivariate non-linear regression (Multivar-NLR) methods. The activation energies of the shrinkage processes were evaluated by both the differential (...
