Extra-Low-Frequency Pulse Stimulated Conformational Change in Blood-Cell Proteins and Consequent Immune Activity Transformation

Objective: investigation of the extra-low-frequency (ELF) stimulation effect on blood-cell proteins, that causes variation in its electrostatic-state.A hypothesis that this results in the conformational change in the blood-cell proteins which could enhance immune activity is explored.Since HIV-1 and host-cell engage through charge-charge interactio

An innovative system for uncoupled bending/torsion tests by tri-axis shaker: numerical simulations and experimental results

This work describes a new testing system for applying a coupled/uncoupled bendingtorsion loading in vibratory tests by a tri-axis shaker.The system is composed of a cylindrical specimen with eccentric tip masses, excited by horizontal and/or vertical base accelerations.The specimen tip is constrained by a lateral thin and flexible plate which imped
