Translational Science and Evidence-Based Healthcare: A Clarification and Reconceptualization of How Knowledge Is Generated and Used in Healthcare by Alan Pearson, Zoe Jordan, Zachary Munn

“…This evidence is then appraised, synthesized, and transferred to service delivery settings and health professionals who then utilize it and evaluate its impact on health outcomes, health systems, and professional practice. Many of the common theories that address this translational process place it apart from the evidence-based practice cycle and most recognise only two translational gaps. …”

Kinematic Singularity and Bifurcation Analysis of Sidestay Landing Gear Locking Mechanisms by Kui Xu, Yin Yin, Yixin Yang, Hong Nie, Xiaohui Wei

“…The present study is aimed at investigating the synchronous locking performance of the dual-sidestay landing gear based on the singularity and bifurcation theory. From the perspective of the kinematic mechanism, the reason for high sensitivity to structural dimensions in the locking process is explained, and the locked position is investigated by employing the numerical continuation method in the case of a single-sidestay landing gear. …”

Integral Representation of Functions of Bounded Variation by Z. Lipcsey, I. M. Esuabana, J. A. Ugboh, I. O. Isaac

“…With Bainov’s introduction of impulsive differential equations having solutions of bounded variation, this class of functions had eventually entered into the theory of differential equations. However, the determination of existence of solutions is still problematic because the solutions of differential equations is usually at least absolute continuous which is disrupted by the solutions of bounded variations. …”

A Vibration Model of Ball Bearings with a Localized Defect Based on the Hertzian Contact Stress Distribution by Fanzhao Kong, Wentao Huang, Yunchuan Jiang, Weijie Wang, Xuezeng Zhao

“…The calculation of the ball-raceway contact force when the ball passes over the defect is key to establishing a defect vibration model. Hertzian contact theory indicates that the contact area between the ball and the raceway is an elliptical contact surface; therefore, a new approach is used to calculate the ball-raceway contact force in the defect area based on the stress distribution and the contact area. …”

Experimental Investigation of Coal Dust Wettability Based on Surface Contact Angle by Gang Zhou, Han Qiu, Qi Zhang, Mao Xu, Jiayuan Wang, Gang Wang

“…Wettability is one of the key chemical properties of coal dust, which is very important to dedusting. In this paper, the theory of liquid wetting solid was presented firstly; then, taking the gas coal of Xinglongzhuang coal mine in China as an example, by determination of critical surface tension of coal piece, it can be concluded that only when the surface tension of surfactant solution is less than 45 mN/m can the coal sample be fully wetted. …”
