The Past

This subject, is like observing the panorama of a mountain range, magnificent towering peaks, but it doesn't take much duration of observation to recognize that they are still in the process of formation. The mountains consist of approaches, materials and methods and the rocky substance of information has accumulated to such a degree that I find myself concentrating on the foothills in the foreground in order to keep up with the advance; the edifices behind form a wonderous, substantive background. It's a short history for such an accumulation and much of it has been moved by the members of the societies that make up this International Federation. My panel of speakers are here to provide what we hope is an interesting scientific fare, based on the fact that there is a continuum of biological organization from biochemical molecules through macromolecular assemblies and cellular membranes to the cell itself. Indeed, this fact explains the whole range of towering peaks that have emerged progressively during the past 25 years.

Present Trial

Recent studies have revealed evidence for increased pain sensitivity in individuals with chronically low blood pressure. The present trial explored whether pain sensitivity can be reduced by pharmacological elevation of blood pressure. Effects of the sympathomimetic midodrine on threshold and tolerance to heat pain were examined in 52 hypotensive persons (mean blood pressure 96/61 mmHg) based on a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind design. Heat stimuli were applied to the forearm via a contact thermode. Confounding of drug effects on pain perception with changes in skin temperature, temperature sensitivity, and mood were statistically controlled for. Compared to placebo, higher pain threshold and tolerance, increased blood pressure, as well as reduced heart rate were observed under the sympathomimetic condition. Increases in systolic blood pressure between points of measurement correlated positively with increases in pain threshold and tolerance, and decreases in heart rate were associated with increases in pain threshold. The findings underline the causal role of hypotension in the augmented pain sensitivity related to this condition. Pain reduction as a function of heart rate decrease suggests involvement of a baroreceptor-related mechanism in the pain attrition. The increased proneness of persons with chronic hypotension toward clinical pain is discussed.

Hydrostatic Bearings

Background: Hydrostatic bearings have the advantages of strong bearing capacity, good stability, small friction coefficient and long life. The performance of liquid hydrostatic bearings directly affect the accuracy and efficiency of CNC machining equipment. The performance is conducive to the development of CNC machine tools towards high speed and heavy load, so it is necessary to sort out and summarize the existing research results. Objective: This study summarizes the current development status of hydrostatic bearings and explains the development trend of hydrostatic bearings. Methods: According to the recently published journal articles and patents, the recent experimental research on hydrostatic thrust bearings is summarized. This paper summarizes many factors that affect the performance of hydrostatic bearings, and discusses the causes of various factors on hydrostatic bearings. Finally, future research on hydrostatic bearings is presented. Results: The study discusses experimental methods, simulation processes, and experimental results. Conclusion: This study can produce dynamic and static pressure effects by changing the structure of the oil cavity of the hydrostatic bearing. This effect can make up for the static pressure loss. By improving the theoretical formula and mathematical model and proposing a new simulation method, the accuracy of the hydrostatic bearing simulation is satisfied; the future development trend of the hydrostatic bearing is proposed.

This third edition retains the general level and scope of earlier editions, but has been substantially updated with over 900 new references covering the literature through 2005, and 140 more pages of text than the previous edition. In addition to the general updating of materials, there is new or greatly expanded coverage of topics such as Curtin-Hammett conditions, pressure effects, metal hydrides and asymmetric hydrogenation catalysts, the inverted electron-transfer region, intervalence electron transfer, photochemistry of metal carbonyls, methyl transferase and nitric oxide synthase. The new chapter on heterogeneous systems introduces the basic background to this industrially important area. The emphasis is on inorganic examples of gas/liquid and gas/liquid/solid systems and methods of determining heterogeneity.
