Candy Crush
Candy Crush is a short experimental film that explores varied experiences of migrants who leave their childhood memories and historical roots behind. It interweaves two narratives; the reminiscences of a migrant (myself) who has left Iran for Canada; and the story of a pregnant woman who has …

Crush Strength Analysis of Hollow Glass Microspheres
… goal of this research was to develop a method to crush individual microspheres and statistically analyze the results. One objective towards completing this goal was to measure the microsphere diameter distribution. Microsphere diameter is a major factor affecting strength as well as the Weibull …

Regeneration of Meissner Corpuscles in Diabetic Mice Following Median Nerve Crush
… changes following a median nerve cryocrush of the left forepaw. Right forepaws were used for non-crush controls. Digits II and III from both forepaws were formalin-fixed, frozen sectioned and silver-impregnated to allow for light microscopic examination of the neurites. Corpuscular …

Analysis of Zebrafish Optic Tectum Visual Processing Before and After Optic Nerve Crush
… in the adult zebrafish at various times post-crush and to compare visual processing of these subjects to the normal subjects. The optic nerve tracts of the zebraflsh's right eye were damaged via optic nerve crush and subjects were tested at one of 5 times post-crush: 3, 14, 28, 42, or 90 days …

Enhancement of crashworthiness in car-truck collisions using damped under-ride guard and composite crush elements
… vehicles is further enhanced by incorporating crush elements to absorb the impact energy. Experimental studies are conducted to enhance an understanding of the crash behavior, energy absorption capacity and the strain rate effect on the energy absorption capacity of crush elements made of …

Effects of electrical stimulation and testosterone on regeneration-associated gene expression and functional recovery in a rat model of sciatic nerve crush injury
… as one type of combinatorial treatment after crush injury to the facial nerve (CN VII). With the facial nerve injury model, we have previously demonstrated that ES and testosterone target different stages of the regeneration process and enhance functional recovery after facial nerve crush …

Development of Pole Impact Testing at Multiple Vehicle Side Locations As Applied To The Ford Taurus Structural Platform
… vehicle, allowing a comparison of energy and crush relationships. Testing was performed on vehicles moving laterally into a 12.75 inch diameter rigid pole barrier. Crush energy absorption characteristics at the different locations were analyzed, and the results compared to test data from broad …

Effects of Electrical Stimulation and Testosterone in Translational Models of Peripheral Nerve Injury
… to develop a reliable intracranial facial nerve crush model and to investigate the therapeutic potential of combining ES with testosterone propionate (TP) in this most proximal injury model. Adult male rats were divided into intracranial sham-operated, intracranial crush, and intracranial crush …

Analysis of a Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Impact Attenuator for a Formula SAE Vehicle Using Finite Element Analysis
… attempt to validate the model on an axial tube crush is presented. It was found that fiber buckling was not occurring at the impactor-tube interface. Results and speculation as to why the failure initiation is incorrect are discussed. Lessons learned from the tube crush are applied successfully …

Investigating molecular mechanisms of neuronal regeneration: a microarray approach.
… of PNS and CNS injury. Our models included crush injury to both branches of the bifurcating axon of sensory neurons with cell bodies in the DRG (DRGNs). Injury to the peripheral branch at the level of the spinal nerve (SN) results in axonal regeneration and reinnervation. Crush injury of the …

Technical and Economic Feasibility of Crushed Rock with Synthetic Oil Heat Storage Coupled to Light Water Reactors in the United Arab Emirates
… is proposed to address the storage needs—the Crushed Rock Ultra-large Stored Heat (CRUSH) system. CRUSH enables low-cost 100-GWh of heat storage to address daily to weekday/weekend heat storage needs. The performance of the grid and the performance of CRUSH were analyzed to understand total …

Speed and Temperature Effects in the Energy Absorption of Axially Crushed Composite Tubes
… failure. By testing in such a manner these tubes crush in a progressive and controlled manner, and are capable of exhibiting high levels of energy absorption, particularly when related to the material mass involved. Polymers are known to display viscoelastic behaviour and polymer composites are …

Systemic AAV-Mediated Gene Therapy Using Epo-R76E to Protect Retinal Ganglion Cells from Optic Nerve Injury and Disease
… model of glaucoma.</p> <p>Optic nerve crush is a model of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death. Crushing the optic nerve causes the axons to undergo Wallerian degeneration and apoptotic loss of retinal ganglion cells over time. This pattern of cell death is very similar to that observed in …

Molecular biology of peripheral nerve regeneration: Expression and role of Netrin-1, DCC and Runx2
… functional recovery was not impacted after a crush injury. Additional studies on axon outgrowth following crush injury, and analysis of Schwann cell proliferation, migration and remyelination of axons following injury, showed that Schwann cell-derived Netrin-1 is expendable for these …

Spectral Sensitivity of the Goldfish ERG and Optic Tectum Before and After Optic Nerve Damage
… optic nerve at four time intervals after damage (crush). An increment threshold procedure was used to obtain electroretinogram (ERG) and tectal responses to light onset and termination to various wavelengths of light. Spectral sensitivity functions were derived from both the ON- and OFF-components …
