Changes introduced in thes and subsequent versions reflect joint modifications to the entry which had been solely authored and maintained by Fred D'Agostino.
However, the failure load of all types of joint modifications decreases with the increasing tensile test temperature from room temperature to 75 °C.
From the tensile tests subsequent to impact treatment, it was found that the transverse impact significantly reduced the failure load of all types of joint modifications.
Small area XPS analysis of cement paste/adhesive interphase revealed, on a prototype of cement paste adhesive joint, modifications of the Ca2p and N1s regions, which suggests that this zone is the locus of chemical reactions that favour mineral substrate resin adhesion.
A method was developed to test femorotibial and patellofemoral joint modifications separately with 3D-rapid prototyped components for in vitro tests, but material differences may further influence results.
However, to estimate the efficacy and safety in the synovium and cartilage in the joints, modification of the model was necessary.
Improvement in wear resistance of hip joint and modification of antibacterial property of artificial heart valve suture ring material is also presented in the paper.
For the RCTs we aimed to compare relative risks of structural disease progression between knee joint loading modification and control groups.
After a normalization procedure that corrects the read counts taking into account the control sample, the different sequencing depths of the datasets and the nucleosome abundance at each locus, we obtained a joint histone modification level distribution and we applied the k-means clustering algorithm on it (see Supplementary Material for more details).
