Open AccessNovel method to decrease the exposure time of the extraction string of the ureteral stent and its efficiency and safety verification in the clinic
Ureteral stent removal by an extraction string is advantageous. However, the increased risk of complications attributed to the continuous exposure of the string outside the urethra must be managed. This paper ...

Open AccessStudy on static lateral load–slip behavior of single-shear stapled connections in plywood for upholstered furniture frame construction
The static lateral load–slip behavior of a single-shear plywood-to-plywood single-staple connection (SPSC) was investigated experimentally. A mechanics-based approach was used to develop mechanical models for ...

Open AccessNeutralization of interleukin-17A alleviates burn-induced intestinal barrier disruption via reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines in a mouse model
The intestinal barrier integrity can be disrupted due to burn injury, which is responsible for local and systemic inflammatory responses. Anti-inflammation strategy is one of the proposed therapeutic approache...

Open AccessA finite element model of semi-rigid mortise-and-tenon joint considering glue line and friction coefficient
The aim of this study is to build a new numerical model of a mortise-and-tenon joint based on the finite element method (FEM) considering glue line and friction coefficient to analyze the semi-rigid wood joint...

Information encryption and compression based on random polarization modulation in a joint transform correlator scheme under vector beam illumination
We demonstrate that a vectorial beam with a random polarization state can be used as the illumination source in a joint transform correlator configuration to encrypt and compress images. Illumination light fea...

Propagating property of flat-topped multi-Gaussian beams passing through a misaligned optical system with two-lens and two-diaphragm
The optical elements’ maladjustment is a potential threaten in optical systems, thus, the transmission feature of laser beams passing through a misaligned optical system is widely studied. By using approximate...
