The torque converter is a kind of fluid coupling that is widely used as a start-up device for automobiles equipped with an automatic transmission.A lock-up clutch is often incorporated in the torque converter in order to improve vehicle fuel economy in the higher speed ratio range.This improvement is obtained because the lock-up clutch can reduce f
Investigation of the functional state changes of cardio-vascular system in patients, suffering peritonitis
Objective.To study a functional state of cardio-vascular system in patients, suffering peritonitis.Materials and methods.Analysis of dynamics in the electrocardiogram changes in 166 patients, including 84 women and 82 Quercetin men, was conducted for studying of functional state of cardio-vascular system in extended peritonitis.Results.Changes on e
Shear failure modes and AE characteristics of sandstone and marble fractures
To study the shear failure modes of rock fractures with different morphologies, rock types and test conditions, direct shear tests were conducted with the aid of an acoustic emission test system to obtain the characteristics of acoustic emissions in the shear process.The test results indicated that sandstone fractures experienced brittle shear fail
Selective RNAi silencing of Schwann cell Piezo1 alleviates mechanical hypersensitization following peripheral nerve injury
The present study was designed to investigate the role of Schwann cell (SC) Piezo1 in peripheral nociception.We first developed an AAV vector that has primary SC tropism after delivery into the sciatic (or tibial) nerve.This was achieved by packing AAV-GFP transcribed by a CBA promoter using a capsid AAVolig001 to generate AAVolig001-CBA-GFP.Six we
