Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) materials belong to a group of high-performance thermoplastic polymers thermoplastic that has been proposed as a substitute for metals in biomaterials.In this research, in order to improve the performances of PEEK, nano titanium dioxide (n-TiO2) and nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HAp) were incorporated into PEEK loading up to (1
BACKGROUND: Freshwaters are the most threatened ecosystems on earth.Although recent assessments provide data on global priority regions for freshwater conservation, local scale priorities remain unknown.Refining the scale of global biodiversity assessments (both at terrestrial and freshwater realms) and translating these into conservation prioritie
Functional independence in adults is conditioned by lower limb muscle strength.Thus, it seems important to assess lower limb strength using reliable and easy to reproduce measurements.The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to collect studies that examined the test-retest reliability of the Five Times Sit to S
