Sentence examples for mechanical conduits from inspiring English sources

This allows the designers not only to hide the electrical wiring and mechanical conduits but also to create the illusion of an individual canopy at each doorway, "so as not to give the impression of a hotel corridor," the architects said.

Aim: This study was designed in order to investigate the effects of dipper and non-dipper status of hypertension on left atrial mechanical (reservoir, conduit and booster pump) functions with left atrial volume measurements by means of two-dimensional echocardiography in untreated systemic hypertensive patients.

It is known that there are three types of LA mechanical function: reservoir, conduit and booster pump function [34].

Tensile testing and burst pressure were the two measurements performed to characterize the mechanical integrity of the conduit.

The main role of the LA is to modulate left ventricular (LV) filling through several mechanical functions: reservoir function, conduit function, and active contraction [ 1].

Most likely lack of appropriate lamina propria and a reduced amount of anchoring filaments and normal junctions between basal cells and the submucosa is the key problem for mechanical durability as the conduit runs through muscular and fatty tissue of the abdominal wall in analogy to problems related to transplanted cultured skin [ 22].

Furthermore, we demonstrate that these Reinforced Venous-Arterial Conduits have comparable mechanical properties to native arteries, in terms of ultimate tensile strength (UTS) (2.36 vs. 2.24 MPa) and collagen dominant phase (11.04 vs. 12.26 MPa).

The results demonstrate that the multi-channel chitosan conduits have suitable mechanical strength, swelling, degradation properties, and nerve cell affinity, so they hold promise for use as neural tissue engineering scaffolds.

The addition of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) (7.5 wt%) provided a binder to maintain mechanical integrity and a conducting conduit for electrical conductivity.

The effects of conduit microstructure and mechanical properties on the transdifferentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into Schwann cell (SC) like phenotypes were examined to help facilitate neuroregeneration and understand material-cell interfaces.

However, due to the inherent weak mechanical properties of alginate, the vascular conduits are not capable of biomimicking natural vascular system.
