In this work, the surface of porous titanium samples obtained by space-holder technique was treated with a femtosecond laser to improve their osseointegration. Instrumented micro-indentation and scratch test were implemented evaluate tribo-mechanical behavior modified samples. A detailed study micro-hardness, stiffness, resistance elastic recovery performed. Also, in vitro analysis carried out ...

Shallow water inertio-gravity Poincaré waves in a rotating frame satisfy the Klein–Gordon equation, originally derived for relativistic, spinless quantum particles. Here, we compare these two superficially unrelated phenomena, suggesting reason them sharing same equation. We discuss their energy conservation laws and equivalency between non-relativistic limit of yielding Schrödinger near-inerti...

A new species of potamid freshwater crab, Malayopotamon weh sp. nov., is described from the island of Pulau Weh off northern Sumatra, Indonesia. The species superficially resembles three Sumatran species: M. batak Ng & Wowor, 1991, M. tobaense (Bott, 1968), and M. turgeo Ng & Tan, 1999, but can easily be distinguished by various carapace as well as gonopod characters.

A new genus and species of potamid cavernicolous crab, Thampramon tonvuthi sp. nov., is described from Thailand. While superficially similar to Tiwaripotamon Bott, 1970, Phaibulamon Ng, 1992, and Nemoron Ng, 1996, the new genus possesses a unique combination of morphological characters including a distinctive carapace form, possession of a relatively long third maxilliped exopod, long ambulator...

Traditionally electric motor manufactures have tended to concentrate effort on improving the electromagnetic design and have only dealt with the thermal design aspects superficially. However the increasing requirement for miniaturisation, energy efficiency and cost reduction, and the need to fully exploit new topologies and materials, make it imperative to analyse the thermal circuit to the sam...

Despite symptoms of anxiety and depression being common in this age group, we have very few treatment options specifically targeted to young children. Treatment research that has included this age group has often also included much older children and has not reported the results separately for different age groups. Therefore, treatments that, superficially, appear appropriate for younger childr...
