The problem of the limiting states occurrence in the structures of a vertical steel tank is investigated in this work.To study the SSS of the metal structures of the object, the authors created a numerical model of the Gas Oven Thermostat RVS-20000 tank in the ANSYS software complex.The model considers the maximum number of elements with their geom
Heat Stress Pattern in Conditioned Office Buildings with Shallow Plan Forms in Metropolitan Colombo
This paper critically evaluates indoor overheating of multilevel office buildings in Colombo—a tropical warm humid city.The work questions the building morphological characteristics on thermal performance and indoor climate, thus the levels of Building Energy Indices (BEI) of air conditioned buildings.Pattern of heat stress on buildings due t
Management of the late leaking filtration blebs. A report of seven cases and a selective review of the literature.
PURPOSE: To describe the outcome of various treatment modalities in the management of late bleb leaks after glaucoma filtering surgery (GFS).MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seven consecutive patients treated for late bleb leaks (Seidel′s positive) between July 1990 and June 1999 were were enrolled in the study.The management strategy consisted of ini
Extracellular vesicles from hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stromal cells: isolation, characterization and therapeutic potential for chronic wound healing
Abstract Background Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and their extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) have demonstrated to elicit immunomodulatory and pro-regenerative properties that are beneficial for the treatment of chronic wounds.Thanks to different mediators, MSC-EVs have shown Aluminum Wallet Card to play an important role in the proliferation, mi
Biophysical aspects of mechanotransduction in cells and their physiological/biological implications in vocal fold vibration: a narrative review
Mechanotransduction is a crucial property in all organisms, modulating cellular behaviors in response to external mechanical stimuli.Given the high mobility of vocal folds, it is hypothesized that mechanotransduction Dress significantly contributes to their tissue homeostasis.Recent studies have identified mechanosensitive proteins in vocal fold ep
