lar interactions and their local environment. Cell traction force microscopy (CTFM) was utilised to determine the exerted traction forces of individual cells on a coated elastic substrate. From knowledge of the elasticity of the gel (Young’s modulus) the displacement of the gel surface was used to calculate traction fields using finite element analysis (FEA). This initial data are being refined...

The attachment ability of ladybird beetles Coccinella septempunctata was systematically investigated on eight types of surface, each with different chemical and topographical properties. The results of traction force tests clearly demonstrated that chemical surface properties, such as static/dynamic de-wettability of water and oil caused by specific chemical compositions, had no significant eff...

In the present article, we implement fractional thermoelasticity theory to a 2D issue for sphere whose surface is free from traction, subject provided axisymmetric temperature distribution of heat. The medium supposed be quiescent initially. A direct method used get solution and Laplace transform technique used. Mathematical models copper material are designed as particular instance. Numerical ...

background with increasing incidence of traumatic fractures, the use of orthopedic intervention such as traction has increased. inappropriate traction care may cause substantial morbidity and delay the patient rehabilitation. objectives this study was conducted to evaluate the quality of care for patients with traction in the orthopedic unit of kashan's shahid beheshti hospital, kashan, iran. p...

Purpose. For accurate resection of nonpalpable malignant breast lesions with a tumor-free resection rim, an exact and stable wire localization is essential. We tested the resistance towards traction force of different localization devices used in our clinic for breast lesions in two types of tissue. Materials and Methods. Eight different commercially available hook-wire devices were examined fo...

abstract bottom intake is one of the most appropriate systems for diverting discharge in steep rivers. bottom intake with porous media is a new system of diverting discharge which can be replaced by bottom rack intakes. to investigate the hydraulic flow characteristics on diverted discharge of this intake, an experimental model was designed in which the inflow, diverted discharge and remained f...

the rational cubic function with three parameters has been extended to rational bi-cubic function to visualize the shape of regular convex surface data. the rational bi-cubic function involves six parameters in each rectangular patch. data dependent constraints are derived on four of these parameters to visualize the shape of convex surface data while other two are free to refine the shape of s...
