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 …

Untersuchungen zum Infektpotential von Biomaterialien (Meshes) in der Bauchdecke
… study the influence of the presence of either a monofilament or a multifilament mesh material on the bacterial infection risk. The filament surface of a monofilament and a multifilament mesh were calculated on the basis of a theoretical model. The adherence of Staphylococcus aureus was measured …

Evaluation of various products for sediment perimeter barrier
… of six alternatives to silt fence: woven monofilament geotextile, compost log (Filtrexx Siltsoxx), Siltworm, coconut coir log, Curlex Sediment Log and ERTEC ProWattle. A full-scale testing apparatus provides specific insight and direct comparison between installation, removal and in-field …

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 …

Funktionelle und histologische Auswirkungen von Mesh-Implantaten im Tiermodell
… are compared in a rat experiment: a heavy-weight monofilament polypropylene mesh (Marlex), a light-weight multifilament polyester mesh (Mersilene) and a light-weight multifilament polypropylene mesh with Vicryl (Vypro).The materials are implanted as an inlay in rats for 3, 7, 14, 21 and 90 days. …

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 …

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 …
