The researchers demonstrated that this already commonly - used drug could be used to prevent the degradation and loss of
mechanical integrity of cartilage in patients with arthritis.
Pressure tests,
called mechanical integrity tests, will be required in order to confirm that the wells can contain the extraordinary forces of fracking, before the fracking process itself can be performed.
«Our hypothesis is that maybe this sort of intrinsic mechanical property — the friction these proteins experience — helps them to get where they need to be, as well as maintain the spindle's organization and
mechanical integrity during cell division,» Forth says.
Operators were allowed to test their wells less frequently
for mechanical integrity and the area they had to check for abandoned wells was kept to a minimum — one reason drilling waste kept bubbling to the surface near Chico.
Millar's group and her clinical collaborators, including Emily Chu, MD, PhD, an assistant professor of Dermatology and John McGrath, MD, from King's College, London, also discovered that cracking and scaling of palm and foot sole skin in WNT10A patients is due to decreased expression of a structural protein called Keratin 9, which is specifically expressed in these regions of skin and contributes to
its mechanical integrity.
In nuclear power plants, «
the mechanical integrity of that cladding is extremely important,» Yildiz says, so finding ways to improve its longevity is a high priority.
Operators are required to do so - called «
mechanical integrity» tests at regular intervals, yearly for Class 1 wells and at least once every five years for Class 2 wells.
Kansas shut down at least 47 injection wells in 2010, filling them with cement and burying them, because
their mechanical integrity could not be restored.
Tetanic force was used to measure
the mechanical integrity of the muscle to produce force as it bypasses the central nervous system.
I don't usually abuse test cars, but I had some questions about the Intrepid's
mechanical integrity because of my experience with the Vision.
Maintain unit readiness with proper medical supply inventory, cleanliness, and mechanical integrity
