Keep the chain lubricated with special chain lube to ensure that stiff chain links do not affect the shifting, and to make sure that the drive train will last.
Conversely, when touch is mediated by a rigid link, such as a stick or a stiff shoe sole, cutaneous force cues are combined with proprioceptive information to form compliance estimates [15], [16], [19], [22].
Sharp tailoring and the use of the stiff silks linked to the world of traditional male evening wear were the best of the show.
MSCs grown on collagen-I stiff gels (linking to α1 or α2- β1 integrins) have demonstrated activated osteogenesis, whereas softer collagen-I gels prime MSCs for a myogenic lineage [ 100].
The resulting α,ω-N-ethylcarbazole terminated poly 3,3′-bicarbazyl-N,N′-octylene)s are readily soluble in common organic solvents and have good film-forming capoly 3,3′-bicarbazyl-N,N′-octylenespoly 3,3′-bicarbazyl-N,N′-octyleneone constituted by stiff bicarbazyl chromopoly 3,3′-bicarbazyl-N,N′-octylenerbon segments.
Loeys et al. (15) identified three substitutions (C1564S, W1570C and C1577G) linked to stiff skin syndrome (SSS) and a further substitution (G1594N) linked to a hybrid syndrome featuring stiff skin with ectopia lentis.
When half-sarcomeres were linked to stiff springs (so that they did not shorten appreciably during the simulations), force relaxed with a slow exponential time course and did not show biphasic behavior.
The DS-GMR model is exploited to transfer the movement to a two-link STIFF-FLOP robot.
Stiffer arteries are linked with higher pulse pressure and adverse ventricular remodeling (Arnett et al. 1994; O'Rourke and Mancia 1999; Rowe 1987), which along with hypertension are major risk factors for cardiovascular outcomes (Malhotra et al. 2003; Meaume et al. 2001).
