Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are materials capable of changing their structural configuration from a fixed shape to a temporary shape, and vice versa when subjected to a thermal stimulus.The present work has investigated the 3D printing process of a shape memory polymer (SMP)-based polyurethane using a material extrusion technology.Here, SMP pellet
BackgroundMany users of Internet interventions do not persist with the full treatment program.As persistence may influence outcomes of such interventions, being able to maximize persistence is vital.However, while studies have begun to explore the predictors of dropout in Internet interventions, few have explored reasons why users persist with the
The purpose of this study was to clarify the damage mechanisms of existing reinforced concrete (RC) slabs with reinforcing steel plates through the use of a three-dimensional nonlinear finite element analysis.An actual wheel load running test was simulated.Two panels of RC slab were cut from existing bridges and were used as the test specimens.Simu
Abstract Impairment of inferior olivary neurons (IONs) affects whole-body movements and results in abnormal gait and posture.Because IONs are activated by unpredicted motion rather than regular body movements, the postural dysfunction caused by ION lesions is expected to involve factors other than simple loss of feedback control.In 7 Piece Outdoor
