PURPOSE Vitrectomy is associated with the rapid progression of nuclear cataracts. This study was conducted to test the hypothesis that age-related liquefaction of the vitreous gel may also be associated with lens opacification. METHODS Lenses from eye bank eyes were graded for nuclear, cortical, and posterior subcapsular opacities, and the amount of liquid vitreous was measured. RESULTS Nuc...

Semen liquefaction changes semen from a gel-like to watery consistency and is required for sperm to gain mobility and swim to the fertilization site in the Fallopian tubes. Kallikrein-related peptidases 3 (KLK3) and other kallikrein-related peptidases from male prostate glands are responsible for semen liquefaction by cleaving gel-forming proteins (semenogelin and collagen). In a physiological ...

Objective: Tissue liquefaction lipoplasty is a novel, low-energy method cleared for use in aesthetic body contouring and autologous fat transfer. This is a retrospective review of the clinical effectiveness and safety of a liquefaction lipoplasty system for liposuction and autologous fat transfer. Methods: A retrospective review was done evaluating all liquefaction lipoplasty procedures with or...

The lower Cimanuk catchment area which will be developed as industrial is dominated by Quaternary deposits are susceptible againts liquefaction if large earthquakes occurred. presence of Subang, Cirebon 1 and 2 active fault segments trigger earthquake potentially liquefaction. This study aims to characterize the type sedimentary facies induced hazard in area, Indramayu, West Java. research meth...

Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which the strength and stiffness of a soil is reduced by earthquake shaking or other rapid cyclic loading. Liquefaction and related phenomena have been responsible for huge amounts of damage in historical earthquakes around the world. Modeling of soil behavior is the main step in soil liquefaction prediction process. Nowadays, several constitutive models for sand...

In this paper, the spectral ratio of mmicrotremor, HSVR, is presented for estimating the liquefaction potential of layered soil in the coastal area of the Persian Gulf, which consists of a hard sandstone layer situated between two saturated sandy layers. The surface layer is thin, with a thickness between 2 and 5 meters. The purpose of this paper is to identify the relation between the liquefac...

Sewage sludge is an unavoidable secondary pollution produced in the process of sewage treatment. At present traditional methods of treating sludge (e.g. landfill, incineration or land application) have some disadvantages and shortages. Direct thermochemical liquefaction of sludge is a new treatment method, which has the advantage of both treatment and energy recovery. Research progress and appl...

Seismic liquefaction affects badly the safety of underground structures. For dynamic responses tunnel in liquefied watered sandy stratum one rail transit projects Shanghai, this paper proposes a tunnel-foundation shaking table model test and analyses electrolytic desaturation technology on surrounding soil, which provides some theoretical guidance for seismic designs Shanghai projects. The resu...

previous case histories have shown that soil liquefaction severely damaged many structures supported on pile foundations during earthquakes. as a result, evaluating the potential for instability is an important consideration for the safe and resistant design of deep foundation against earthquakes. in this study, the liquefaction susceptibility of saturated sand interacting by single concrete pi...

Indonesia is a tropical country threatened by many disasters, such as earthquakes and other collateral hazards (liquefaction). Utilization of micro pile on the liquefaction prone areas quite popular to increase soil bearing capacity. In this research, Eucalyptus Pellita Timber was used micro-piles alternatives. This study aims determine effect timber addition settlement in Some laboratory inves...
