From a behavioral perspective, I find the watchclock fascinating not simply because it's a kind of steampunk GPS, a wind-up mechanical location-awareness technology.
Different mechanisms play an important role in the response to CRT, such as preexisting mechanical dyssynchrony, location and extent of scarred myocardium and the position of the left ventricular (LV) pacing lead [ 7, 8].
At present, a lack of response to CRT has been associated with an absence of preexisting mechanical dyssynchrony, location and extent of scarred myocardium (particularly at the LV pacing region) and a suboptimal LV lead position [ 7, 8, 26– 28].
The physiological environment of the stomach (i.e., presence of food, mechanical forces, location of matrix tablets within or on the surface of stomach content, availability of the hydrating liquid, effect of acid secretion, and residence time) may alter the motility and transit time of the dosage forms through the GI tract.
Other differences included the number of UVGI units in the ventilation system, whether the UVGI was located in front of or behind the HEPA or prefilter, the type (electronic or mechanical) and location of room pressure monitors, the redundancy strategy (dual exhaust, dual filter, or both), and whether the ventilation system received testing and balancing after installation.
It is impossible to look into the details of each operative note to clarify the cement volume, procedure style (vertebroplasty vs kyphoplasty), mechanical factors (location of the fracture, restoration of vertebral body height, and sagittal balance), surgical complications, or how many and which levels were treated in each vertebral augmentation, in such a large database study.
Mechanical, control and location aspects are considered in the different projects.
A thorough parametric study is carried out by taking into account the key parameters governing the problem, including the wavelet mother function, level of noise, crack depth and location, mechanical and geometrical parameters of the beam and the padding method to reduce border distortions.
These findings indicate a complex interaction between mechanical forces and location-specific regulatory factors impacting on bone and joint development.
Free-end deflection of a composite plate with different location of mechanical load was studied analytically and experimentally.
