Four species of molecular architectures were studied, a rigid main-chain LCP, two types of flexible main chain LCP, one with mesogens oriented perpendicular to the backbone, the other with mesogens parallel to the backbone, and a flexible side-chain LCP with mesogens attached side-on to the backbone.
In the series described in this study rigid fixation of the osteotomy site was done using a plate to allow early mobilisation of the forearm and elbow and to prevent secondary dislocation of the osteotomy (Figs. 1 4).
In this study, rigid spherical silica particle with varying size (average diameter of 7 nm, 40 nm, and 9 μm) were used to reinforce polylactide (PLA) by melt compounding.
In this study, rigid urethane board was bonded to the exterior surface of a conventional gang form to ensure sufficient compressive strength of the concrete structures in cold weather.
This dataset included five cycling patterns based on diurnal and circadian time-course studies: rigid, spike, sine and two box-like patterns (Michael et al., 2008).
Soft-contact lens wearers were required to remove their lenses at least 24 hours prior to study participation; rigid contact lens wearers were excluded from the study.
Swarming and swimming motility of bacteria has been studied well for rigid, self-propelled rods.
A clinical case of a PFF fixation (Vancouver type C) was studied where a rigid locking plate fixation was compared with a more flexible non-locking approach.
In previous works we studied two glucocorticoid rigid analogs, 21-hydroxy-6,19-epoxyprogesterone (21OH-6,19OP) and its 21-hemisuccinate (21HS-6,19OP).
A study, conducted in patients naïve to therapy [ 12], suggested that HIV-HCV co-infected patients treated with lopinavir/ritonavir-based therapy have similar risk of grade ≥III toxicity when compared with those treated with nelfinavir-based therapy, but the low number of individuals studied and the rigid inclusion criteria adopted preclude generalizations.
