Monofilament MgB₂ wires for MRI magnets
… to fabricate superconducting joints with monofilament MgB₂ wire, we decided to build our MgB₂ MRI magnet with monofilament wire instead of multifilament wire. Previously, flux jumping was found to be the main issue with monofilament superconducting wire; we have to demonstrate that flux …

Design of a re-configurable test stand for a multi degree of freedom compliant robot prototype
… to apply a compressive force through a single monofilament line. The test stand can accommodate prototypes up to 25 cm in length, and can apply a compressive force up to 6.5N with a resolution of ±0.04N. The displacement can be measured accurately to ±0.064cm.

Semblance
… characteristics. Using transparent nylon monofilament thread with steel rods or other linear metal elements integrates the rigid with the fluid, the transparent with the opaque, and the architectural with the organic. These dualities resonate with poetic analogies that add depth of content …

Bioenergetics of Rainbow Trout in Lake Oahe, South Dakota
… South Dakota. Rainbow trout were sampled with monofilament gill nets set on the bottom, surface, and suspended in Lake Oahe, South Dakota during May through September, 1993 and 1994. Rainbow trout were captured with the least amount of effort during July. The 25- and 38-mm mesh sizes caught …

A Comparison Between South Dakota and North American Standard Sampling Gears in Lakes and Reservoirs
… constructed of multifilament twine instead of monofilament twine. In non-MR systems, SDGFP gill nets had higher catch per unit effort for most species commonly indexed with gill nets including Walleye and Yellow Perch while Standard gill nets selected for larger individuals of most species. In …

The influence of heat transfer limitations on the properties of PET yarn produced by melt spinning
… model development. In this investigation, a monofilament model developed by previous workers (Jarecki et al., 2000) is integrated into a multifilament framework. This model assumes Newtonian behaviour of the polymer with viscosity strongly dependent on local temperature and crystallinity. The …

Knotless bidirectional barbed versus smooth polypropylene three-loop pulley sutures for repair of canine gastrocnemius tendon
… can exceed the tensile strength of the smooth monofilament sutures. The barbs increase suture-tendon interface and theoretically distribute load more evenly throughout the construct, as well as minimize the chances of suture pull-out as a mode of failure. As these sutures are processed from …

Bioinspired microvascular self-healing in polymers and composites
… manufacturing. Robust, sacrificial PLA monofilament is incorporated by manual and automated weaving procedures to produce pervasive vascular architectures that impart multifunctionality via simple fluid substitution within the network. A prototype, frequency-reconfigurable antenna is …

Fabrication and characterization of conducting polymer microwires
… electrochemical actuation in BMIMPF6 . These monofilament microwires may be spun into yarns or braided into 2- and 3- dimensional structures for use as actuators, sensors, micro antennas, and electrical interconnects in smart fabrics.

Are clinical characteristics predictive of non-traumatic lower extremity amputation in a diabetic population?
… neuropathy symptoms, peripheral perception to monofilament, biothesiometry results, rest pain, intermittent claudication, ankle brachial index, glycaemic control, hypertension, evidence of pressure load on foot, and wound aetiology. The data were analysed using a Cox proportional hazards …

Liquid crystal thermography in neuropathic assessment of the diabetic foot.
… skin of the foot using both the Semmes Weinstein monofilament and the biothesiometer. Progressive degeneration of sensory nerve pathways is thought to affect thermoreceptors and mechanoreceptors. However, thermological measurements of the foot to assess responses to thermal stimuli and cutaneous …

Duct-to-Duct Biliary Reconstructions and Complications in 100 Living Donor Liver Transplantation
… LDLT. Duct-to-duct biliary anastomosis with 7-0 monofilament suture and small external stent is a feasible procedure in LDLT to significantly reduce the incidence of biliary complication.

Design and Construction of Smart Structures for Technical Textiles
… Carbon Nanotubes into Nylon 6.10 and extrude a monofilament using a standard melt spinning technique. Although the resultant yarns manufactured did not display the properties required, analysis of the CB and CNT properties, the conductive particle dispersion within the polymer matrix, the yarn …

Entanglement of Cape Fur Seals (Arctocephalus pusillus pusillus) in South Africa
… of entanglements (40%, n = 59), specifically monofilament fishing lines (33%, n = 103). Although most entanglements were deemed ‘sight' (67%, n = 100), 28 cases (19%) were considered ‘severe,' likely impacting the health and welfare of affected individuals. Random Forest classification …

A comparative study on the fish species composition, diversity and catch rates among the fisheries reserves on the Zambezi and Kwando rivers, Zambezi region
… Gillnet surveys using both experimental and monofilament gillnets were conducted between 13 November and 13 December 2021. A total of 3,360 individual fish, representing 32 species, were captured. On the Zambezi River, Makangala had the highest species richness with 24 species, followed by …
