Introduction: Debonding of silicone prostheses from metal substructures is a frequently reported complication in prosthodontics. Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) has emerged as a promising alternative framework material owing to its favourable biomechanical properties; however, its limited bond strength to silicone remains a concern. The present study aimed to evaluate the shear bond strength between PEEK and maxillofacial silicone following laser etching of PEEK and subsequent accelerated ageing. Materials and methods: According to ISO 10477:2020, 128 PEEK specimens were fabricated using Compute

Moreover, the lack of proper, specially designed equipment for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) environment monitoring can represent a challenge for the anesthetist.

There is growing evidence that the hippocampus comprises diverse neural circuits that exhibit longitudinal variation in their properties, however, the intermediate region of the hippocampus has received comparatively little attention. Therefore, this study was designed to compared short- and long-term synaptic plasticity between the dorsal and intermediate regions of the hippocampus in normal and PTZ-kindled rats. Short-term plasticity was assessed by measuring the ratio of field excitatory postsynaptic potentials’ (fEPSPs) slope in response to paired-pulse stimulation at three different inter

旨在为筒仓的设计和优化提供参考，基于自主设计的半圆柱形有机玻璃平底筒仓模型，进行了平均粒径分别为15、3.5 mm和5.5 mm陶球颗粒的室内筒仓中心卸料试验和离散元数值模拟。采用流态观察、速度分析、颗粒位移追踪3种方法探究了3组粒径颗粒的流态演变过程，分析了仓壁压力分布及变化规律，通过PFC 2D得到孔隙率、力链等细观变量分布并联合宏观层次的物理试验探讨了粒径大小对流态及仓壁压力的影响。结果表明：粒径对颗粒流态的整体演化过程无显著影响，不同粒径颗粒的流态均由整体流经漏斗流过渡为管状流；大粒径颗粒完成卸料过程耗时更久，卸料速率更慢；粒径对颗粒的流动轨迹无显著影响；边界区并不是一成不变的，在卸料过程中随着粒径的增大而逐渐上移；不同粒径颗粒组的峰值卸料压力最大值均位于距离仓底约1/3的位置；粒径越大，仓壁的压力波动越剧烈，峰值卸料压力也越大。综上，粒径对平底筒仓中心卸料的流态无显著影响，不同粒径的颗粒流态演化过程和颗粒流动轨迹具有相似性，粒径越大产生的仓壁卸料压力也越大。在实际工程中，需考虑粒径对筒仓结构安全性的影响。 To provide a reference for the design and optimization of silos, based on a self-designed semi-cylindrical plexiglass flat-bottom silo
