The only shortcoming of calcium phosphate bioceramics is their poor mechanical properties that do not allow them to be used in load-bearing areas.
Dissolution Properties.
The difference in composition, crystal size and sintering temperature affects the dissolution properties of the calcium phosphates [16,17].
Osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties.
CaP materials offer the appropriate surface properties and composition making them ideal carriers for bioactive peptides, bone growth factors, and mesenchymal stem cells and can therefore be used in tissue engineering for regeneration of hard tissues.

Therefore, the interfacial bond strength which is dependent upon time is also a function of morphological factors such as the change in interfacial area with time, progressive mineralization of interface tissues and resulting increase of elastic modulus of an interfacial bond as well as shear strength per unit of bonded area.
Although, the addition of small amount of Al2O3 in the glass retards the deposition of apatite in SBF solution on glass surface but at the same time alumina has been introduced earlier in bioglasses also to improve their mechanical properties and long term services as implant materials [35]. 4: Discussion 4.1.
Addition of Fe2O3 in the glass at the cost of P2O5 and CaO for the same, adversely affect the bioactivity of the calcium phosphate glass.

A number of risk factors such as viral hepatitis (hepatitis B or C virus), alcohol consumption, certain drugs intake, and fat accumulation in the liver (fatty liver) has been associated with chronic liver diseases.
The consequence of these factors is limited bioavailability of silymarin following oral administration [2].
Some product-influencing variables such as evaporation time, hydration media, hydration time, and temperature were previously studied in order to produce lipid vesicles containing silymarin with desired properties.
It can be concluded that concentration and molar ratio of silymarin to phospholipid are the key factors that influenced successful approach.
Effect of fatty acid composition of phospholipids on their antioxidant properties and activity index.

It has the features of high mechanical integration, electrical motor construction materials and higher efficiency of drive system components.
In the mechanical system with Multi-Degree-of-Freedom movement, a Multi-Degree-of-Freedom motor can replace two or more Single-Degree of Freedom motor, which greatly simplifies the structure of mechanical systems, reduces size and weight, and eliminates the disadvantages such as free play and friction the gear drive brought etc.
In the Multi-Degree-of-Freedom device used for driving high-speed and super speed, there are mechanical (bearing) supporting wear problems.
The function of bearing significantly affects the reliability of the motor and the utilization ratio of equipment.

Raman spectra of biomaterials and their stress dependence The interest in the effect of mechanical stress on Raman spectra of inorganic materials has been initially purely academic (see for example, Anastassakis and Burstein [1] and Anastassakis [2]).
(3) where now < � ij > represents the trace of the stress tensor and a is a numerical factor equal to 2 or 3 for equi-biaxial and hydrostatic stress states, respectively.
The knowledge of the piezo-spectroscopic coefficient, � , provides the foundation for micro/nanomechanics assessments of hydroxyapatite-based biomaterials, whose outcome might improve understanding of bone properties/functions and indicate new strategies for improving both processing and biomechanical design.
Low-temperature aging degradation of both phase structure and mechanical properties is caused by the tetragonal-to-monoclinic transformation.
In linearly elastic materials (e.g., synthetic hydroxyapatite made by sintering process), this plot is linear with a slope directly representing the stress intensification factor at crack tip, KI0 [13].

XML language is not only applicable to network but also can let information provider define the structure, properties and context of data according to the needs of the specific application.
It is import that directly affects the efficiency and accuracy of mining directly.
Steps are as follows: l Confirming the smallest support degree and confidence factor.

Creep of concrete can significantly affect the mechanical properties of the structure or component.
According to the internal forces balance theory, Load, humidity and temperature changes in any of a factor will destroy the internal forces balance of the cement paste, it will produce drying shrinkage and creep effect.

The remarkable properties of the strain injection techniques in terms of mesh independence and low computational cost have motivated the authors to extend the methodology to 3D.
Adopted Finite Element Formulation This work uses a mixed displacement/strain (/) stabilized formulation (proposed in [3]) that can be deduced from the following weak form of the mechanical problem, (1) where equations (1)(a) and (1)(b) correspond to weak forms of the equilibrium and compatibility equations, respectively, stands for the non-linear constitutive function, for the work rate produced by the external forces, and are the prescribed tractions and body forces, respectively and and are suitable test functions.
By choosing standard bi-linear interpolation functions for the displacement field and element-wise constant interpolation for the strains, in eight-noded hexahedral finite elements, and adding a consistent stabilizing term to the equations, the finite element approximation of equation (1) reads, after some mathematical manipulation (see [3]): (2) where are termed the stabilized stresses, is the stabilization factor, taken equal to 0.1, and stands for the mean value of over the finite element.
As it is shown in Fig. 4, the results obtained with the standard formulation are clearly affected by the mesh orientation, since the localization band follows de mesh alignment.

Indeed, inadequate compaction, insufficient moist curing, cracks and other defects may impair the permeability of the concrete elements, which is widely regarded as the key factor for the durability of concrete exposed to seawater attack [4, 5].
Site Air-Permeability Testing The visual inspection left some doubts on the extent to which the defects found may affect the performance of the elements.
This test method was chosen, given its good correlation with water sorptivity and penetration of water under pressure (EN 12390-8) [6], relevant properties for the case under consideration.
The AccropodesTM II produced during the first and second month of production may not have sufficient mechanical strength nor durability to perform adequately.

In many cases, dynamic stall becomes primary limiting factor in the performance of the associated vehicle or structure.
They found that the critical parameter which affects the thrust generation is the Strouhal number based on the wake width or the trailing edge displacement rather than k, the reduced frequency.
