Image-guided confirmation of a precision pull-through procedure during laparoscopically assisted anorectoplasty in an open MRI operating theater: first application in an infantile... by Shun Onishi, Chihiro Kedoin, Masakazu Murakami, Nayuta Higa, Akihiro Yoshida, Kazutoshi Onitsuka, Takahiro Moriyama, Koji Yoshimoto, Satoshi Ieiri

“…We attached the quadrature-detection (QD) head coil around the patient’s pelvis and inserted him in the gantry. A 0.45-T open MRI clearly revealed that the pulled through rectum was located in the center of the muscle complex on T2-weighted images. …”

A Method for Generating and Evaluating Magnetic Flux Leakage Data for Large-diameter Pipeline Crack Defects Based on Numerical Simulation and Diffusion Algorithm by Chen Ximing, Li Kun, Fu Mengkai, Zhu Jianjun, Liu Xiaoben

“…The results show that the crack defect size has a clear impact on the MFL signal. For the axial component， the peak value is positively correlated with the defect depth， and the trough spacing is positively correlated with the defect length. …”

Experimental Study of the Failure Mechanism of the Anchorage Interface under Different Surrounding Rock Strengths and Ambient Temperatures by Xiaohu Liu, Zhishu Yao, Weipei Xue, Xuesong Wang, Xianwen Huang

“…In order to study the anchoring instability mechanism of surrounding rock in deep roadway, the failure mechanism of the bolt-anchoring agent interface was studied by simulating different strength rock mass and ground temperature environment, using C20, C40, and C60 strength concrete and steel pipe to simulate different surrounding rock strength environments. Indoor pull-out tests were carried out to study the pull-out load displacement relationship, ultimate pull-out force, residual anchoring force, the distribution law of axial stress and tangential stress along the bar, and the energy consumption value of drawing failure at 20, 50, and 70°C. …”

Review of Collars, Harnesses, and Head Collars for Walking Dogs by Camila Cavalli, Alexandra Protopopova

“…The findings suggest there is no one-size-fits-all device, and selection should consider the individual needs of guardian and dog. For dogs that pull, non-tightening front-clip harnesses appear to offer the best balance between discomfort and reduction in pulling. …”

Migration Network and Impact Factors of Talented Migrants' Intention of Hukou Settlement in China by Huang Junhui, Gong Yue, Yang Zhengjie, Xu Yifang, Zhu Huizhen

“…Among these networks, kinship and friendship offer the greatest support and exert the strongest pull on their migration decisions. In contrast, the influence of township ties on the willingness of highly educated migrants to settle is smaller, highlighting a clear difference from the stronger reliance of migrant workers on township ties. …”

Research on the Use of Hydro-Pneumatic Shock Absorbers for the Rear Suspension of a Vehicle Cabin by Vasile Gheorghe, Eliza Chircan, Horatiu Teodorescu Draghicescu

“…Crucially, SEM images of fracture surfaces consistently revealed widespread fiber pull out. This indicates that weak interfacial adhesion between the reinforcing fibers and the rubber matrix is a primary limiting factor for the composite′s overall strength.…”

DNA aptamers against exon v10 of CD44 inhibit breast cancer cell migration. by Joji Iida, Rebecca Clancy, Jesse Dorchak, Richard I Somiari, Stella Somiari, Mary Lou Cutler, Richard J Mural, Craig D Shriver

“…Co-immunoprecipitation studies demonstrated that EphA2 was co-precipitated with CD44. Pull-down studies demonstrated that recombinant CD44 exon v10 bound to EphA2 and more importantly aptamers that inhibited migration also prevented the binding of EphA2 to exon v10. …”
