Research on Tooth Surface Design of Curved Tooth Face Gear based on Cylindrical Gear Addendum Modified by Yong Chen, Zhanrong Feng, Yulong Zhao, Ning Huang, Lingfeng Gao, Guangjin Xiong

“…It is found that the tooth thickness of the face gear generated by the top fillet envelope is larger than that of the face gear generated by the top fillet envelope at the root of the inside diameter. The research results show that rounding the tool tooth tip can not only avoid the contact of the face gear and the cylindrical gear edge causing the face gear tooth surface wear，but also increase the thickness of the tooth root of the inner diameter of the face gear. …”

The haemodynamic effects of umbilical cord milking in term infants: a randomised controlled trial by Mehmet Tekin, Mahmut Gokdemir, Erzat Toprak, Musa Silahli, Hasan Energin, Zeynel Gokmen

“…Results: Superior vena cava (SVC) flow measurements were higher in the UCM group compared to the ICC group (132.47 ± 37.0 vs. 126.62 ± 34.3 mL/kg/min), but this difference was not statistically significant. Left atrial diameter (12.23 ± 1.99 vs. 11.43 ± 1.78 mm) and left atrium-to-aorta diastolic diameter ratio (1.62 ± 0.24 vs. 1.51 ± 0.22) were significantly higher in the UCM group. …”
