Tunable force sensor based on carbon nanotube fiber for fine mechanical and acoustic technologies.

Design of new smart prosthetics or robotic grippers gives a major impetus to low-cost manufacturing and rapid prototyping of force sensing devices. In this paper, we examine piezoresistive force sensors based on carbon nanotube fibers fabricated by a novel wet pulling technique. The developed sensor is characterized by an adjustable force range coupled with high sensitivity to enable the detection of a wide range of forces and displacements limited by the experimental setup only.

Effects of Light Spectral Quality on Photosynthetic Activity, Biomass Production, and Carbon Isotope Fractionation in Lettuce, L., Plants.

The optimization of plant-specific LED lighting protocols for indoor plant growing systems needs both basic and applied research. Experiments with lettuce, L., plants using artificial lighting based on narrow-band LEDs were carried out in a controlled environment.

[The method of vicryl frame formation in guided bone regeneration and dental implantation].

The purpose of the article is to describe a new method of formation a situational vicryl frame (SVF) within the framework of improving the method of guided bone regeneration (GBR). The technique involves the use of woven resorbed filament of Polyglactin 5.0 (suture material on the example of Vicryl) and support-retaining titanium micro-screws as a formative aspect of the reconstruction.

[Prerequisites for improving the method of guided bone regeneration].

The purpose of this article was to discuss the need for the introduction of the concepts of 'vicryl situational frame' and 'the plastic substrate', in which the first one updates the shape-generating aspect of reconstruction, the second one - its volume-generating aspect. The latter is described as a new surgical technique. The great importance of a new level of methodological and methodical support the method of GBR, which determines the high clinical and prognostic indicators of effectiveness was concluded.

[The new technique for the identification of aluminium on the study objects by the contact-diffusion method].

This article was designed to discuss the possibility of discovering the trace deposits of a metal (aluminium) sedimented on various objects with the use of the indicator alizarin S in order to determine the distance of the shot and identify the concrete traumatic weapons of the «Osa», «Strazhnik» type used for the purpose.
