Stress ratio effect on tension-tension fatigue behavior of angle-ply GFRP laminates

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos

The effect of the stress ratio (R = sigma(min)/sigma(max)) on the fatigue behavior of (+/- 45)(2s) angle-ply glass/epoxy composite laminates was investigated by comparing their mechanical, thermal, and optical properties under the stress ratio of 0.5 with ...

Electromyographic indices of muscle fatigue of a severely paralyzed chronic stroke patient undergoing upper limb motor rehabilitation

Modern approaches to motor rehabilitation of severe upper limb paralysis in chronic stroke decode movements from electromyography for controlling rehabilitation orthoses. Muscle fatigue is a phenomenon that influences these neurophysiological signals and m ...

Sensory feedback restoration in leg amputees improves walking speed, metabolic cost and phantom pain

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic, Francesco Maria Petrini, Giacomo Valle, Federica Barberi, Dario Bortolotti

Conventional leg prostheses do not convey sensory information about motion or interaction with the ground to aboveknee amputees, thereby reducing confidence and walking speed in the users that is associated with high mental and physical fatigue(1-4). The l ...

Predicting Modafinil-Treatment Response in Poststroke Fatigue Using Brain Morphometry and Functional Connectivity

Bénédicte Marie Maréchal

Background and Purpose- Poststroke fatigue affects a large proportion of stroke survivors and is associated with a poor quality of life. In a recent trial, modafinil was shown to be an effective agent in reducing poststroke fatigue; however, not all patien ...

Shape memory alloy (SMA) strips for fatigue strengthening of cracked steel plates

Ardalan Hosseini, Elyas Ghafoori

This paper aims to show the feasibility of application of iron-based shape memory alloy (Fe-SMA) for fatigue strengthening of steel plates. The effectiveness of the proposed retrofit system was also compared with that of prestressed carbon-fiber reinforced ...

“Pocket-Monitoring” for the fatigue safety verification of bridge members in steel and reinforced concrete

Eugen Brühwiler

The fatigue safety of the reinforced concrete deck slab of a sixty-year-old steel-concrete road viaduct as well as the riveted steel girders of a 130 year old railway bridge was questioned based on the results of conventional assessment consisting in "re-c ...

Osteoblasts remotely supply lung tumors with cancer-promoting SiglecF(high) neutrophils

Etienne Meylan, Ferdinando Pucci, Julien Robert Rémi Faget

Bone marrow-derived myeloid cells can accumulate within tumors and foster cancer outgrowth. Local immune-neoplastic interactions have been intensively investigated, but the contribution of the systemic host environment to tumor growth remains poorly unders ...

The selective Tie2 inhibitor rebastinib blocks recruitment and function of Tie2Hi macrophages in breast cancer and neuroendocrine pancreatic tumors

Michele De Palma, Ece Kadioglu

Tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells promote tumor progression by mediating angiogenesis, tumor cell intravasation and metastasis, which can offset the effects of chemotherapy, radiation, and anti-angiogenic therapy. Here, we show that the kinase switch contro ...
