Design and Performance Analysis of New Tooth Profile of Harmonic Drive by Yu Jinbao, Fan Yuanxun

“…The backlash value of every point in the flexible gear profile to rigid wheel tooth profile is solved,then the minimum backlash value is found out and rule analysis is carried out,the rigid flexible wheel does not engage in meshing interference is verified. The deflection of the gear teeth caused by the flexible wheel deformation is analyzed,and using the method of modifying displacement coefficient to solve the meshing problem caused by the flexible wheel deformation,and the three-dimensional tooth profile of the rigid wheel is designed to avoid meshing interference without changing the parameters of the flexible wheel tooth profile.…”

Cytokine Patterns in Brain Tumour Progression by Radu Albulescu, Elena Codrici, Ionela Daniela Popescu, Simona Mihai, Laura Georgiana Necula, Daniel Petrescu, Mihaela Teodoru, Cristiana Pistol Tanase

“…The body’s response to cancer has many parallels with inflammation and repair; the inflammatory cells and cytokines present in tumours are more likely to contribute to tumour growth, progression, and immunosuppression, rather than in building an effective antitumour defence. Using new proteomic technology, we have investigated serum profile of pro- (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12, GM-CSF, and TNF-α) and anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-4, IL-10), along with angiogenic factors (VEGF, bFGF) in order to assess tumoural aggressiveness. …”

Occupational therapy’s oversight: How science veiled our humanity by Heleen Reid, Clare Hocking, Elizabeth Smythe

“…While these sources of objective knowledge provide a rational, defendable position for practice, they can only explain a portion of what it means to exist as an occupational being.Aims/Objectives This article aims to reveal some of the history of science within occupational therapy and reveal the subjective, ontological nature of doing everyday activities that the profession’s preoccupation with positivist science has obscured.Methods This research used a history of ideas methodology to uncover how occupational therapy perceived people and how practice was conceptualised and conducted between 1800 and 1980s, as depicted in writing of the time.Conclusion Analysis showed that, through history, people were increasingly categorised and delimited. …”
