It is shown experimentally that a flat piezoelectric disk poled perpendicular to its surface and suspended on a thin thread can be rotated about 50° by two surface acoustic waves (SAWs) intentionally excited with different amplitudes and propagating in the opposite directions. The excitation of such counter-propagating SAWs with different amplitudes is based on the nonsymmetrical interdigital transducer with different angular width electrodes located along the disk radius. The angular width of each of the two electrodes per angular period is not change along the disk radius. Such a ring unidirectional transducer realized on one of the disk surfaces is used for the excitation of SAWs. Hereby, the flat surface of the disk allows one to create any transducer pattern using conventional technology. The other disk surface can be free or covered by the silver layer.

Edible coating (EC) can reduce excessive oil absorption in deep-fat fried food products. Ultrasound is an efficient pretreatment to preserve the quality characteristics of fried samples. The impact of guar gum based EC and sonication on the quality parameters of fried zucchini slices was investigated.

Background: Lower urinary tract disease is a common clinical condition in dogs, usually presenting with dysuria, pollakiuria and haematuria. Diabetes mellitus is a predisposing factor for urinary tract infection in both humans and dogs and does not necessarily present with clinical signs. In this case report, we describe for the first time a case of cystitis glandularis in a dog with diabetes mellitus, associated with Escherichia coli urinary tract infection.

The proposed method is validated by simulation and experiment, in which the integrated processing of matched filtering and windowing in the analog domain for a linear frequency modulation (LFM) signal with a bandwidth of 1 GHz is carried out and the peak to sidelobe ratio (PSLR) of the output signal is -19.55 dB and the mainlobe width (MLW) broadens to 0.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive disorder that affects the nervous system and causes regions of the brain to deteriorate. In this study, we investigated the effects of MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) for the delivery of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on the 6-hydroxydopamine (6-HODA)-induced PD rat model. MRgFUS-induced blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability modulation was conducted using an acoustic controller with the targets at the striatum (ST) and SN.
