Abstract
We analysed changes in multiple measures of bone architecture in tibias subjected to loading or disuse in male and female mice with the Lrp5 loss of function mutation (Lrp5(-/-)) or heterozygous for the Lrp5 G171V High Bone Mass mutation . MATERIALS AND METHODS: The right tibias of these 17week old...

Abstract
We make a comparison with existing experimental results. In particular, we find that the phase diagram of the various dynamics depends on three dimensionless control parameters, while a recent experimental work reported that only two are sufficient....

Abstract
We report the results of an experimental study of the microstructure of dispersions of Carbopol ETD 2050, a model yield-stress fluid. Using two different light scattering instruments, measurements were made over three decades in scattering wave vector, from 0.02 to 25 μm^{-1}. These measurements re...

Abstract
We expose a known rubber material to controlled dosages of γ radiation and utilize a newly developed multiquantum nuclear-magnetic-resonance technique to characterize the MWD as a function of radiation. We show that such data along with mechanical stress-strain measurements are amenable to accurate...

Abstract
We name three-band diagrams (TBDs), are introduced, as a sensible generalization of the two standard indicators, i.e., the time-averaged WSS and the oscillatory shear index. TBDs provide a handy access to additional information contained in the dynamic structure of the WSS signal as a function of th...

Abstract
Discrete subaortic stenosis (DSS) is characterized by the presence of an obstructing membrane in the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT). Evidence suggests that the formation of DSS represents a fibroproliferative reaction of the endocardium occurring in response to alterations in shear stress caus...

Abstract
This study investigated the effect of laser treatment on the fatigue resistance of a 3.5-mm diameter implant with an internal trilobe connection. Twenty two implants were embedded into acrylic resin blocks. Half the specimens were used as control group, and the other half were laser treated circumfer...

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the fatigue life of laser welded joints in a commercially available cast cobalt-chromium alloy. Twenty rod shaped specimens (40 mm x 1.5 mm) were cast and sand blasted. Ten specimens were used as controls and the remaining ten were sectioned and repaired using...

We studied the regulation of FoxO1 protein in ischemic rat skeletal muscle following iliac artery ligation and in cultured endothelial cells. We found that FoxO1 expression was increased in capillaries within ischemic muscles compared with those from rats that underwent a sham operation. This findin...
