The two current criteria for diagnosis of left anterior fascicular block (LAFB) were evaluated; they are marked left axis deviation (LAD) and a delay in the time of inscription of the intrinsicoid deflection (ID) in lead aVL asynchronous to V6. From 400 electrocardiograms with a LAD of --30 degrees or greater, 62 percent showed asynchronous activation of the left ventricle. There was only a gen...

In an effort to reduce the incidence of decubitus ulcers among wheelchair users, current work in cushion design concentrates on minimizing the pressure at the buttock-cushion interface. Finite element analysis can show the stress levels throughout the soft tissue between the cushion and the ischial tuberosity and give designers a better indication of the effects of a particular cushion. Finite ...

Fine alignment of main ship power plants mechanisms and shaft lines provides long-term and failure-free performance of propulsion system while fast and high-quality installation of mechanisms and shaft lines decreases common labor intensity. For checking shaft line allowed stress and setting its alignment it is required to perform calculations considering various stages of life cycle. In 2012 J...

statement of problem: t-loop is one of the most popular closing loops in orthodontic profession. however its activation is in the contrary to bouschinger effect theory, since the formed bends would be opened during activation. the purpose of this study was to add a helix in a way to be more respondent to the bouschinger effect theory. objectives: to compare the load deflection, maximal elastic ...

Different problems may cause distortion of the rotor, and hence vibration, which is the most severe damage of the turbine rotors. Different techniques have been developed for the straightening of bent rotors. The method for straightening can be selected according to initial information from preliminary inspections and tests such as nondestructive tests, chemical analysis, run out tests and also...

A computational study of helicopter vibration and rotor shaft power reduction is conducted using activelycontrolled trailing-edge flaps (ACFs), implemented in both single and dual flap configurations. Simultaneous vibration reduction and performance enhancement is demonstrated under level flight condition at high advance ratios, where dynamic stall effects are significant. Power reduction is ac...

BACKGROUND Ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures are rare, and currently available treatment methods each have their own benefits and limitations. Although reconstruction intramedullary nails have been considered to be effective alternative, clinical outcomes vary significantly in reports. METHODS Thirty-seven consecutive adult patients with 37 combined fractures were treated with reco...

Hair dysplasias are congenital or acquired alterations which often involve the hair shaft. Hair shaft abnormalities are characterized by changes in color, density, length and structure. Hair shaft alterations often result from structural changes within the hair fibers and cuticles which may lead to brittle and uncombable hair. The hair of patients with hair shaft diseases feels dry and looks lu...

The single-beam mirage effect, also known as photothermal deflection, is studied using a free-standing, highly aligned carbon nanotube aerogel sheet as the heat source. The extremely low thermal capacitance and high heat transfer ability of these transparent forest-drawn carbon nanotube sheets enables high frequency modulation of sheet temperature over an enormous temperature range, thereby pro...
