The better mechanical characteristics and sometimes also the higher durability of hardwood compared to softwood render it useful in construction engineering. What is important when hardwood is used is that the possibility is given of a faultless adhesion, as only then can products be made that fulfil modern requirements with regard to quality and performance. Although the successful practical use of glued hardwood has existed for decades, it is only in the past few years that systematic analyses have been carried out. In the present work we examine fundamental questions regarding the production and use of glued hardwood for supporting construction elements,discuss the types of wood suitable for processing in this way and describe some results from various research projects on the gluing of hardwood to produce construction elements. From this we can draw conclusions on the mechanical properties,performance and the achievable characteristic values of these products.

AbstractCentral airway obstruction (CAO) can be attributed to several benign or malignant conditions. Although surgery is the preferred therapeutic option for the management of CAO, bronchoscopic treatment can be performed in scenarios where the surgical procedure is not possible. Recent years have witnessed several improvements in the field of bronchoscopic treatment, especially with regard to airway stents. Current research involves new attempts to overcome the existing shortcomings pertaining to the stents (migration, mucostasis, and granulation tissue formation). The authors have recently developed a new silicone airway stent (GINA stent) with an anti-migration design, dynamic structure that enables the reduction of stent cross-sectional area, and radio-opacity. The present study aimed to evaluate the mechanical characteristics and performance of the novel GINA stent using a porcine tracheal stenosis model. In the current study, all the tests involved the comparison of the GINA stent [outer diameter (OD, mm): 14; length (L, mm): 55] with the Dumon stent (OD: 14; L: 50). The mechanical tests were performed using a digital force gauge, in order to determine the anti-migration force, expansion force, and flexibility. The present study evaluated the short-term (3 weeks) performance of the two stents after implantation [GINA (n = 4) vs. Dumon (n = 3)] in the porcine tracheal stenosis model. The results pertaining to the comparison of the mechanical properties of the GINA and Dumon stents are stated as follows: anti-migration force (18.4 vs. 12.8 N, P = 0.008); expansion force (11.9 vs. 14.5 N, P = 0.008); and flexibility (3.1 vs. 4.5 N, P = 0.008). The results pertaining to the comparison of the short-term performance of the GINA and Dumon stents are stated as follows: mucus retention (0/4 vs. 0/3); granulation tissue formation (0/4 vs. 0/3); and migration (1/4 vs. 2/3). The GINA stent displayed better mechanical properties and comparable short-term performance, compared to the Dumon stent.

ABSTRACTOBJECTIVESCentral airway obstruction (CAO) is caused by various malignant and benign processes. Surgery is a preferred option for CAO, but if not possible, bronchoscopic treatment could be performed. Recently, bronchoscopic treatments have been improved. Particularly in airway stents, new attempts are being made to overcome the existing shortcomings of stents (migration, mucostasis, and granulation tissue formation). We recently developed a new silicone airway stent (GINA stent). The GINA stent has anti-migration design, dynamic structure enabling reduction of stent cross-sectional area, and radiopaqueness. We sought to evaluate mechanical characteristics and performance of our novel GINA stent in a pig tracheal stenosis model.METHODSAll tests were performed by comparing GINA stent [outer diameter (OD, mm) 14, length (L, mm) 55] with Dumon stent (OD14L50). Mechanical tests were done using digital force gage to determine the anti-migration force, expansion force, and flexibility. Short-term (3 weeks) performance was evaluated after stent implantations [GINA (n = 4) vs. Dumon (n = 3)] in a pig model of tracheal stenosis.RESULTSMechanical properties outcomes for GINA vs. Dumon: anti-migration force [18.4 vs. 12.8 Newton (N)]; expansion force (11.9 vs. 14.5 N); flexibility (3.1 vs. 4.5 N). Short-term (3 weeks) GINA vs. Dumon performances: mucus retention (0/4 vs. 0/3); granulation tissue formation (0/4 vs. 0/3); migration (1/4 vs. 2/3).CONCLUSIONSGINA stent demonstrated better mechanical properties than Dumon stent with a stent performance not inferior to Dumon stent.

Abstract The sample preparation for transmission electron microscope can be done using a method known as "lift-out". This paper demonstrates a method of using a silver-gallium nanoneedle array for a quicker sharpening process of tungsten probes with better sample viewing, covering the fabrication steps and performance of needle-tipped probes for lift-out process. First, an array of high aspect ratio silver-gallium nanoneedles was fabricated and coated to improve their conductivity and strength. Then, the nanoneedles were welded to a regular tungsten probe in the focused ion beam system at the desired angle, and used as a sharp probe for lift-out. The paper demonstrates the superior mechanical properties of crystalline silver-gallium metallic nanoneedles. Finally, a weldless lift-out process is described whereby a nano-fork gripper was fabricated by attaching two nanoneedles to a tungsten probe.

Weldability involves two aspects: welding behavior of components and safety in operation. The two aspects will be reduced to the mechanical characteristics of the elements and to the chemical composition. In the case of steel reinforcing rebar’s, it is reduces to the percentage of Cech(carbon equivalent) and to the mechanical characteristics: the yielding limit, the ultimate limit, and the elongations which after that represent the ductility class in which the re-bars is framed. The paper will present some types of steel reinforcing rebar’s with its mechanical characteristics and the welding behavior of those elements. In the current work, process-related behavior of welded reinforcement, joint local and global mechanical properties, and their correlation with behavior of normal reinforcement and also the mechanical performance resulted in this type of joints.

: The pace at which nanotheranostic technology for human disease is evolving has accelerated exponentially over the past five years. Nanotechnology is committed to utilizing the intrinsic properties of materials and structures at submicroscopic-scale measures. Indeed, there is generally a profound influence of reducing physical dimensions of particulates and devices on their physico-chemical characteristics, biological properties, and performance. The exploration of nature’s components to work effectively as nanoscaffolds or nanodevices represents a tremendous and growing interest in medicine for various applications (e.g., biosensing, tunable control and targeted drug release, tissue engineering). Several nanotheranostic approaches (i.e., diagnostic plus therapeutic using nanoscale) conferring unique features are constantly progressing and overcoming all the limitations of conventional medicines including specificity, efficacy, solubility, sensitivity, biodegradability, biocompatibility, stability, interactions at subcellular levels. : This review introduces two major aspects of nanotechnology as an innovative and challenging theranostic strategy or solution: (i) the most intriguing (bare and functionalized) nanomaterials with their respective advantages and drawbacks; (ii) the current and promising multifunctional “smart” nanodevices.

The Impact

Pupil with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Over the past twenty years childhood OCD has received more attention than any other anxiety disorder that occurs in the childhood. The increasing interest and research in this area have led to increasing number of diagnoses of OCD in children and adolescents, which affects both specialists and teachers. Depending on the severity of symptoms OCD has a detrimental effect upon child's school performance, which can lead almost to the impossibility to concentrate on school and associated duties. This article is devoted to the obsessive-compulsive disorder and its specifics in children, focusing on the impact of this disorder on behaviour, experience and performance of the child in the school environment. It mentions how important is the role of the teacher in whose class the pupil with this diagnosis is and it points out that it is necessary to increase teachers' competence to identify children with OCD symptoms, to take the disease into the account, to adapt the course of teaching and to introduce such measures that could help children reduce the anxiety and maintain (or increase) the school performance within and in accordance with the school regulations and curriculum.

The Relationship

A debate over the past decade has focused on the so-called bilingual advantage—the idea that bilingual and multilingual individuals have enhanced domain-general executive functions, relative to monolinguals, due to competition-induced monitoring of both processing and representation from the task-irrelevant language(s). In this commentary, we consider a recent study by Pot, Keijzer, and de Bot (2018), which focused on the relationship between individual differences in language usage and performance on an executive function task among multilingual older adults. We discuss their approach and findings in light of a more general movement towards embracing complexity in this domain of research, including individuals’ sociocultural context and position in the lifespan. The field increasingly considers interactions between bilingualism/multilingualism and cognition, employing measures of language use well beyond the early dichotomous perspectives on language background. Moreover, new measures of bilingualism and analytical approaches are helping researchers interrogate the complexities of specific processing issues. Indeed, our review of the bilingualism/multilingualism literature confirms the increased appreciation researchers have for the range of factors—beyond whether someone speaks one, two, or more languages—that impact specific cognitive processes. Here, we highlight some of the most salient of these, and incorporate suggestions for a way forward that likewise encompasses neural perspectives on the topic.
