The direct linearization method (DLM) for tolerance analysis of 3-D mechanical assemblies
is presented. Vector assembly models are used, based on 3-D vector loops which represent …

Assembly tolerance analysis is a key element in industry for improving product quality and
reducing overall cost. It provides a quantitative design tool for predicting the effects of …

Geometric feature variations are the result of variations in the shape, orientation or location
of part features as defined in ANSI Y14.5M-1982 tolerance standard. When such feature …

Objective The present study was to examine the role of pro-inflammatory T helper 17 (Th17)
cells in drug naïve, first episode schizophrenia. Method Patients with normal weight, drug …

Background To investigate whether the candidate genes that confer susceptibility to type 2
diabetes mellitus are also correlated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in pregnant …

Objective The present study aimed to examine the changes in pro-inflammatory cytokines
and body weight during 6-month risperidone treatment in drug naïve, first-episode …

Deoxynivalenol (DON) induces intestinal epithelial barrier disruption, posing a threat to the
body. Curcumin (Cur) possesses pharmacological bioactivities such as antioxidant and anti-…

Objective: Progesterone supplementation prevents preterm birth (PTB) in some high-risk
women, but its mechanism of action is not known. One third of PTB is associated with preterm …

We investigate the spatially optical solitons shedding from Airy beams and anomalous
interactions of Airy beams in nonlocal nonlinear media by means of direct numerical simulations. …
