During 48 weeks it showed no significant differences, with both improving lung function, exacerbation rates, quality of life, and symptoms, with no safety concerns. Most recently, a small blinded cross-over RCT of 28 COPD patients found that after single administration, there was no difference ...
In our study 81.8% of the potential participants started the intervention. This is substantial given that the averaged participation rate in caregiver research is around 27% (Brodaty et al., 2005). In a previous study on Partner in Balance participation rates ranged from 51.9% to 70.2% (Boots...
Therefore, the details associated with thermal cycling (phase transformation temperatures and heating and cooling rates, for example) are important to solid-state microstructural evolution during AM. Figure 6 highlights aspects related to microstructure development in Ti-6Al-4V (wt pct) from solidificatio...
1b. Therefore, it can be concluded that the reduced print quality was due to inconsistent material flow which can result from variations in viscosity due to temperature change or from irregular pumping rates due to arching effects. The current study aims to further optimize the 3D printable mix...
Comparing the viscosity profiles at the same temperature but under different shear rates (0.01 s−1/Figure 7a versus 17.25 s−1/Figure 7b), the following effects can be observed. First, the lower the shear rate, the higher the viscosity, at the same temperature, in agreement with the sh...
