We develop a theory of sheaves and cohomology on the category proper modulus pairs. This complements [KMSY21], where non-proper pairs has been developed.

Noninvasive measurement of mechanical properties of biological tissues in vivo could play a significant role in improving the current understanding of tissue biomechanics. In this study, we propose a method for measuring elastic properties non-invasively by using internal indentation as generated by harmonic motion imaging (HMI). In HMI, an oscillating acoustic radiation force is produced by a ...

The use of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) cement to reinforce fragile or broken vertebral bodies (vertebroplasty) leads to extensive bone stiffening. This might be one reason for fractures at the adjacent vertebrae following this procedure. PMMA with a reduced Young's modulus may be more suitable. The goal of this study was to produce and characterize PMMA bone cements with a reduced Young's mod...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dynamic (storage) shear modulus and the static shear modulus of elasticity of packable and flowable composite resins and to investigate their development after initial photo-curing. METHODS Three pairs of a packable versus a flowable composite and a microfill composite resin were tested (Alert/Flow It, Filtek P60/Filtek Flow, Admira/Admi...

Nonfat (0% fat), reduced-fat (11% fat), and control (19% fat) mozzarella cheeses were made using direct acidification to test the influence of three levels (0.25X, 1X, and 4X) of coagulant concentration on proteolysis, meltability and rheological properties of cheeses during 60 d of storage at 5 degrees C. Changes in meltability, level of intact alpha(s1)-casein and beta-casein (by capillary el...

We develop a theory of modulus sheaves with transfers, which generalizes Voevodsky's transfers. This paper and its sequel are foundational for the motives modulus, is developed in [KMSY20].

quebracho tannin wood adhesive in non formaldehyde approach has low autocondensation rate and needs more press time than formaldehyde-based wood adhesives to produce wood composites. in this study, boric acid was used to increase autocondensation rate of quebracho tannin adhesive to make poplar plywood. the main ingredients of the adhesives include quebracho tannin, naoh, hexamine, boric acid a...

The frequency-response curve of isolated canine arterial segments at transmural pressures between 140 and 40 mm Hg showed an initial constant-amplitude portion over the lower frequency range followed by one or two major amplitude peaks (resonances) at higher frequencies. At lower transmural pressures, the response was more damped and resonances were infrequent. The amplitude of the flat portion...

rndetermination of rock mass deformation modulus is very important in different projects, especially in civil and mining engineering works. in-situ measurements such as dilatometer, plate load and flat jack methods may be applied to determine the deformation modulus. however, these methods are very expensive and time- consuming. analytical methods are very useful approaches which can also be us...

Mechanical properties of cellular materials depend on their relative densities. In this paper, variability in elastic modulus, plastic strength, and energy absorption of a closed-cell Al foam, ALPORAS, and their connection with the variability in the density was examined. It was found that the tangent modulus in initial loading is considerably lower and has higher variability visa-vis the unloa...
