Opticin is a class III member of the extracellular matrix small leucine-rich repeat protein/proteoglycan (SLRP) family found in vitreous humour and cartilage.It was first identified associated with the surface of vitreous collagen fibrils and several other SLRPs are also known to bind collagen fibrils and it some cases alter fibril morphology.The p
With foil bearings, rotors achieve high rotational speeds with less friction and wear.In addition, here the required space is small and no peripheral components like liquid tanks or pumps are needed.The drawback is a more complex prediction of the real behavior in rotordynamic systems.Impedance test rigs are suitable for investigating the structura
