An Optimal Interset Rest Period For Strength Recovery During A Common Isokinetic Test
… rest period that would allow reproducibility of strength during a common isokinetic strength-test. Methods: Twentyseven healthy college-aged males underwent isokinetic strength testing to determine peak torque at 60, 180 and 300 deg/sec, respectively. Work:rest ratios of 1:3, 1:8 and 1:12 were …

Carpal tunnel syndrome: influencing factors affecting post surgical recovery rates for functional hand recovery
… intervention play a role in their actual recovery rates from the syndrome? A retrospective study was undertaken to review data collected from an out-patient Occupational Therapy setting. Data taken from a 6 year period was analyzed to determine if days of median nerve compression affected …

Analysis and behavior of preexisting landslides
The selection of shear strength parameters for the design and repair of landslide is important and difficult. Skempton (1964) concludes that if a failure has already occurred in clayey soils, any subsequent movement along the preexisting slip surface will be controlled by the drained residual …

DEVELOPMENT OF SELF-HEALING SUSTAINABLE CONCRETE USING RECYCLED MATERIALS
… alcohol (PVA) fiber in terms of flexural strength recovery and crack sealing behavior. 50% GGBS-blended concrete was found to have good autogenous healing ability and the addition of PVA fibers indirectly further increases the effectiveness of autogenous healing in concrete. The hydration …

Single crystal silicon as a macro-world structural material : application to compact, lightweight high pressure vessels
… is a brittle material which makes the usable strength that can be obtained from silicon devices dependent on flaws or cracks that can arise during fabrication in a sample that begins relatively free of defects. This research explores the use of micro-machined, single crystal silicon (Si) for …

The effect of velocity of contraction on the repeated bout effect
… exercise bouts and is characterized by faster strength recovery and a reduction in soreness and inflammation. The purpose was to determine if the protective capacity of the RBE is greater when both bouts of ECC exercise are performed at the same compared to a different velocity of contraction …

An Evaluation of the Effects of Whole Body Cryotherapy Treatment for Sports Recovery and Performance
… become an emerging tool for sport and exercise recovery, its overall efficacy remains contentious. This thesis addressed a variety of issues concerning the practice.<br/><br/>Firstly, the impact of single WBC interventions for treating exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) is unclear. Secondly, …

The Physiological and Genetic Factors Underpinning the Response to Muscle Damaging Exercise
… assess the physiological mechanisms and recovery pattern of neuromuscular fatigue of the hamstring muscle group following an intermittent sprint (IS) intervention; (ii) to investigate inter-individual differences in skeletal muscle repair/recovery after an artificial wounding (scratch) …

Eccentric cycling rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a randomised controlled trial of strength and biomechanical outcomes
… ligament reconstruction (ACL-R), persistent strength and biomechanical deviations remain. Reducing these by training may reduce risk of re-injury or osteoarthritis for these patients. A cross-sectional study investigated biomechanics of ACL-R male patients long-term (~5 years) post surgery. …

Understanding ureolytic calcium carbonate biomineralization for crack repair in cementitious materials
… and distribution of CaCO3 in cracks, and how it strengthens the cracked concrete on the micron scale are insufficient. On the performance level, quantitative evaluation of the healing efficiency of biomineralization in concrete also requires further verification. By isolating the bacteria, …

Materials characterization and structural design of ceramic micro turbomachinery
… especially with regard to the material fracture strength. Strength test specimens must have similar length scales and be fabricated by the same processing route as the real structures. The data for fracture strength, fracture toughness, yield strength, and creep resistance of single crystal …

Post-earthquake assessment of damaged and repaired reinforced concrete wall buildings
… the stiffness of the damaged walls and a partial recovery in the wall stiffness achieved following epoxy injection. Visual damage that included distributed horizontal and diagonal cracks and spalling of the cover concrete did not affect the residual strength or displacement capacity of the walls. …

Magnetic polyamide 6 nanocomposites for increasing damage tolerance through self-healing of composite structures.
… induction heating, and the efficiencies based on strength recovery were calculated as 84%, 58% and 34% after first, second and third healing, respectively. This can essentially increase the life-cycle viability of the composite structure by over 175% (with 60% certainty) compared with that of an …

Reactive MgO and Self-healing Microcapsules for Enhanced Well Cement Performance
… 92/200, with low reactivity, caused significant strength reduction, but under restrained conditions the effect was mitigated as its compressive strength was enhanced by confined expansion. The addition of MAG-R increased compressive strength under both free and restrained conditions. Two groups …

Physics Based Modeling and Characterization of Filament Extrusion Additive Manufacturing
… and a stress development model to estimate the recovery of the bulk strength and warping potential of a printed part, respectively. Through this analysis, it was determined that a deposited road may remain above Tg for 2-10 s, depending on the layer time, or time required for the nozzle to pass …
