A diaphragm dysfunction was diagnosed by ultrasound if an excursion <10 mm or a paradoxical movement was observed.
Rectangular plates for the lap joints were cut from either a wide flange section of size 254 × 254 × 9.53 mm or a flat sheet of 6.35 mm thickness.
Only dorsally displaced AO type A and C1 fractures with an axial shortening of ≥4 mm or a dorsal angulation of ≥20° were included.
The shapes of openings were a circle with a diameter of 50 mm or a square 50 mm on a side.
For typical rock cylinders of 54 mm diameter subjected to ISRM indirect tensile tests, the contact width is in the order of 2 mm (or a contact angle of 4°) whereas for typical asphalt cylinders of 101.6 mm diameter subjected to ASTM indirect tensile tests the contact width is about 10 mm (or a contact angle of 12°).
Even under a relatively low DC driven voltage of 7 V, the actuator can achieve a bending displacement up to 28 mm, or a curvature up to 0.29 cm−1, which are greater than most of other electrothermal actuators reported.
frustum cone Cu cathode, and either a 20-mm-thick annular Cu anode with an aperture diameter of D=10, 17, 30, 40, or 50 mm, or a 35-mm-thick anode with D=50 mm.
In bubbler irrigation, water is applied to the soil surface as a little stream, typically from a small diameter tube (1 mm to 13 mm) or a commercially available emitter.
For the ×5 mm lens a 256 × 256 pixel image was scanned at zoom 1 (field of view (FOV) of 2 × 2 mm), or a 128 × 128 pixel image was scanned at zoom 2 (FOV 1 × 1 mm).
The diagnosis is primarily based on the demonstration of localised apical hypertrophy, defined as an end-diastolic LV apical wall thickness greater than 15 mm or a ratio comparing apical LV and basal LV wall thicknesses of ≥1.3 1.5 [25].
An effusion will usually appear hypoechoic, and a measurement of greater than 5 mm or a greater than a 2-mm difference from the contralateral hip indicates a positive examination [241].
