Description of the transitional process from a static to a dynamic frictional regime is a fundamental problem of modern physics.Previously, we developed a model based on the well-known Frenkel-Kontorova model to describe dry macroscopic friction.Here, this model has been modified to include the effect of dissipation in derived relations between the
Abstract In this study, the effect of Fabric Tapes presence and concentration of two synthetic polymeric flocculants with different charging mechanisms (anionic and cationic) on surface quality and abrasive tool wear in polishing process of building stones was investigated.The polishing tests were performed in laboratory scale on two stone samples
The maritime profession is an extreme test of the crew’s mental health.Psychobiotics are live bacteria that improve the gut microbiome and benefit the host’s mental health.The study aims to establish the effect of a probiotic containing Lactobacillus bulgaricus DWT1 on the mental resilience of the crew of the DVD Player St.St.Cy
Risk prediction models for type 2 diabetes can be useful for the early detection of Control Board individuals at high risk.However, models may also bias clinical decision-making processes, for instance by differential risk miscalibration across racial groups.We investigated whether the Prediabetes Risk Test (PRT) issued by the National Diabetes Pre
