This study aimed to determine the combined treatment effects of Mulligan sustained natural apophyseal glides (SNAGs) and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on function, pain, and range of motion (ROM) in patients with chronic low back pain. A total of 49 adults participated in this study and were randomly divided into three groups (SNAGs with LLLT grou...

In this work, cyclopropylamine (CPA) monomer was plasma-polymerized on poly (ε-caprolactone) nanofiber meshes using various deposition durations to obtain amine-rich surfaces in an effort to improve the cellular response of the meshes. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to investigate the surface morph...

Open Access Journal / The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of a computer vision system (CVS) for assessing the contact angle of frying oil. The oil was used to fry carbohydrate- and protein-based foods for 40 h, and the oil was collected for measuring free fatty acids (FFA), peroxide value (PV), total polar materials (TPMs...

Dye coating techniques for colored materials are often cost intensive or cause degradation of the material during processing. Here the authors demonstrate a fast, scalable and cost efficient plasma dye coating procedure, which allows for covalent immobilization of dye molecules on different polymer surfaces.

We investigate the effect of gamma radiation on flux grown KTiOPO4 and Rb:KTiOPO4 samples, as well as their periodically poled variants. Specifically, we study the altered transmission due to color-center formation via gamma irradiation. We measured the transmission of our samples for varying radiation doses and demonstrate effective temperature an...

A new multipactor saturation mechanism is presented for high power microwave devices in the presence of dielectrics. Recent measures have shown that the positive charge deposited on a dielectric as a consequence of the secondary electron emission causes the reduction of its secondary electron yield. This work shows a new multipactor dynamics within...

The interaction between lightning arcs and composite materials is a challenging issue for maintenance and safety considerations in the aerospace industry [1]. Composite materials exhibit a much lower conductivity than metallic materials, as well as an important anisotropy due to the orientation of the fibres and the insulating nature of the matrix....

A martensitic gear steel (18CrNiMo7-6) was annealed at 180 degrees C for 2h and at similar to 750 degrees C for 1h to design two different starting microstructures for shot peening. One maintains the original as-transformed martensite while the other contains irregular-shaped sorbite together with ferrite. These two materials were shot peened using...
