Twelve essential oils (EO): Anise star, cassia, geraniol, lemongrass (LEM), limonene, thyme, tea tree, coriander (COR), capsicum, black pepper, turmeric and ginger (GIN), in Experiment 1 at three doses; and different combinations of LEM, COR and GIN oils in Experiment 2, were evaluated in in vitro batch microbial fermentation using ruminal fluid fr
On Modeling the Bending Stiffness of Thin Semi-Circular Flexure Hinges for Precision Applications
Compliant mechanisms based on flexure hinges are widely used in precision engineering applications.Among those are devices such as precision balances and mass comparators with achievable resolutions and uncertainties in the nano-newton range.The exact knowledge of the mechanical properties of notch hinges and their modeling is essential for Sponge
Reduced Orbitofrontal Gray Matter Concentration as a Marker of Premorbid Childhood Trauma in copyright Use Disorder
Background: Childhood trauma affects neurodevelopment and promotes vulnerability to impaired constraint, depression, and addiction.Reduced gray matter concentration (GMC) in the mesocorticolimbic regions implicated in reward processing and cognitive control may be an underlying substrate, as documented separately in addiction and for childhood trau
A Survey on Tools and Techniques for Localizing Abnormalities in X-ray Images Using Deep Learning
Deep learning is expanding and continues to evolve its capabilities toward more accuracy, speed, and cost-effectiveness.The core ingredients for getting its promising results are appropriate data, sufficient computational resources, and best use of a particular algorithm.The application of these algorithms in medical image analysis tasks has achiev
Experimental Testing of Aramid Composite Applied in Ballistic Armour using Ultrasonic IR Thermography
Reference samples, in which artificial discontinuities (defects) are fabricated, are used to verify non-destructive testing procedures.Artificial discontinuities are known defects of reference samples and enable verification the possibilities of using the chosen NDT method for the identification of location and depth of discontinuities.In thermogra
