This Fridge Fuse Cable paper presents the results of a study that sheds new light on the shape of indifference curves in the Marschak-Machina triangle.The most important observation, obtained non-parametrically, concerns jumps in indifference curves at the triangle legs towards the triangle origin.These jumps, however, do not appear at the hypotenu
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection that has the potential to cause serious complications and is closely related to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, thus making syphilis a major public health problem.Understanding the characteristics of risk factors could be used to prevent future transmission and occurrences of syphilis.T
Due to the harsh operating conditions in an industrial hose pump, accurate numerical simulations of the hose with high speed would be significant but tough.The main goal of this paper is to develop a reliable numerical model with the acceptable complexity for a non-braided fabric composite rubber hose used in industrial hose pumps.A finite element
Background/Objectives: To compare the lumbopelvic muscle mechanical properties (MMPs) of women with and without multiple sclerosis (MS) and explore relationships between these properties and sociodemographic/clinical characteristics.Methods: This cross-sectional observational study included 22 women with MS and 22 age- and BMI-matched women without
To Cardigans investigate the linkage of HIV transmission from a man to a woman through unprotected sexual contact without disclosing his HIV-positive status.Combined with epidemiological information and serological tests, phylogenetic analysis was used to test the a priori hypothesis of HIV transmission from the man to the woman.Control subjects, i
