Abstract Xerosis, commonly referred to as dry skin, is a common dermatological condition affecting almost a third of the population.Successful treatment of the condition traditionally involves the application of cosmetic products facilitating the moisturisation of the skin with a range of ingredients including glycerol and fatty acids.While the eff
A Note on a Samarian Coin Type. A Royal Horseman?
Some new, unlisted types of Samarian coins have appeared recently on the antiquities market.In the present paper I would like to discuss some points concerning one of them, which is especially interesting because of its iconography.The coin appeared on the market in Autumn 2021.Its reverse shows an image of a cavalryman with a spear or a javelin.Un
An attempt of early detection of poor outcome after whiplash
The main concern with whiplash is that a large proportion of whiplash patients experience disabling symptoms or whiplash associated disorders (WAD) for months if not years following the accident.Therefore, identifying early prognostic factors of WAD development is important as WAD have widespread clinical and economic consequences.In order to tackl
The influence of the crowding assumptions in biofilm simulations.
Microorganisms are frequently organized into crowded structures that affect the nutrients diffusion.This reduction in metabolite diffusion could modify the microbial dynamics, meaning that computational methods for studying microbial systems need accurate ways to model the crowding conditions.We previously developed a computational framework, terme
Process Optimization of Cold Metal Transfer Plug Welding of Aluminum AA6061-T6-to-Galvanized DP590 Steel Based on Orthogonal Experiment Method
In this paper, cold metal transfer (CMT) plug welding of aluminum AA6061-T6-to-galvanized DP590 steel is studied using AlSi-5 welding wire as filler material.The influence of wire feeding speed on welding quality is one of the research emphases.Firstly, an orthogonal experiment is designed to investigate the impact of wire feeding speed, welding sp
