In healthy cartilage, a zone of calcified cartilage (ZCC) acts as an intermediary for mechanical force transfer from soft to hard tissue, as well as an effective interlocking structure to better resist interfacial shear forces.
The enthusiasm of radical newspapers for the photo-mechanical transfer, which enabled simple photographs to be transformed in the darkroom into a half-tone image that was easily and cheaply printed, gave the Korda portrait its trendy, mass-produced quality.
The freestanding fibers were collected directly on pre-cut frames (made from aluminum foil) for mechanical tests or transferred onto pre-cut glass slides for microscopic characterization and cell culture.
The patient was transferred for mechanical ventilation after a grand mal seizure.
The home-built system uses parallel metal plates to collect freestanding fibers, which can be directly used for mechanical tests or easily transferred to desired substrates for cross-linking, characterization, sterilization, and cell culture applications.
Interval calculation is used to find an envelope of transfer functions for mechanical systems modelled with finite elements.
These results are applicable in designing transfer lines for mechanical parts manufacturing by multi-spindle turret heads in situations where the station costs are the primary concern and the station setup costs are the secondary concern of the designer.
For mechanical testing experiments, moulds were transferred to a sealed humidified chamber containing DMEM at 37 °C, 40 °C and 50 °C for 24 h.
In order to measure the degree of nonlinearity of the system, one looks for the mechanical energy transferred outside the frequency band of excitation as a function of the parameter η defined by ε/a, in which ε is the size of the barrier gap and a is the amplitude of the excitation force.
Aggressive diuretic therapy markedly improved his dyspnea without the need for mechanical ventilation and our patient was transferred back to the ward after 24 hours.
