Assessing the responses of body tissue subjected to mechanical load is a fundamental component of the clinical examination, psychophysical assessments and bioengineering research. The forces applied during such assessments are usually generated manually, via the hands of the tester, and aimed at discreet tissue sites. It is therefore desirable to o...

This novel face mask is designed to be a reusable respirator with a small and highly efficient disposable fabric filter. Respirator material requirements are reduced by 75% compared to traditional designs and allow repeated cleaning or sterilization. The probability of virus particle inhalation is reduced using novel air filtration pathways, throug...

BackgroundsTo explain the excess cardiovascular mortality observed in the SERVE-HF study, it was hypothesized that the high-pressure ASV default settings used lead to inappropriate ventilation, cascading negative consequences (i.e. not only pro-arrythmogenic effects through metabolic/electrolyte abnormalities, but also lower cardiac output). The ai...

This article originally advances the field of organizational whistleblowing by empirically investigating the suitability of the four elements of the fraud diamond as a means to understand the intention to disclose wrongdoing through virtual channels. This article also makes a contribution on the theme of whistleblowing as it relates to customers, a...

BackgroundThe anomalous origin of the right coronary artery (RCA) from the left coronary artery sinus (AORL) is one of the abnormal origins of the coronary arteries. Most of these issues rarely have any effects on human health, but some individuals may exhibit symptoms, such as myocardial ischemia or even sudden death. Recently, researchers have in...

Background Coronavirus disease 2019 is an international pandemic. One of the cardinal features is acute respiratory distress syndrome, and proning has been identified as beneficial for a subset of patients. However, proning is associated with pressure-related side effects, including injury to the nose and face. Method This paper describes a pressur...
Yeast fields of application are extensive, ranging from food, brewing to green energy. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the worldwide dominating species. In addition, S. cerevisiae is also an important model organism in modern cell biology research and is one of the most thoroughly studied eukaryotic microorganisms.This work focuses on the beh...

This paper intends to investigate the static behavior and stress analysis of functionally graded (FG) thick cylinders under constant and non-uniform distributed internal pressures based on a general shear deformation theory. Third-order and sinusoidal shear deformation theories in particular are employed to indicate this achievement that these two ...
