(n.) A collar or neck chain, usually twisted, especially as worn by ancient barbaric nations, as the Gauls, Germans, and Britons.
(n.) That which tends to produce torsion; a couple of forces.
(n.) A turning or twisting; tendency to turn, or cause to turn, about an axis.
Example Sentences:
(1) The solution to these problems would seem either to reduce the time spent in rectangular wires or to change to a bracket with reduced torque, together with appropriate second order compensations in the archwire or the bracket.
(2) The behaviour of these parameters with mean torque was found to follow two simple rules.
(3) There were no significant effects of training on the time-related contractile properties (time to peak torque, half-relaxation time), CSA, or %MUA of the elbow flexors or knee extensors.
(4) Following orthodontic treatment the canine's incisal edge occlusion demonstrates the tip and torque present in the appliance that was used.
(5) The torques, although not large enough to dislodge the socket immediately, are repetitive and so may contribute to loosening.
(6) The purpose of this study was to test for differences in the maximal isometric hip abduction torque produced between hip sides across multiple hip abduction angles.
(7) Torque pulses (of 10 or 100 msec) injected randomly to load or unload the movements stretched or slackened the appropiate prime movers: biceps or triceps.
(8) The torque versus rotation curves can be divided into two straight regions and two transition zones.
(9) The tendinous caging of the wrist is the main factor for maintaining rigidity of the carpus and transmitting the torque as muscles are contracted.
(10) This study compared the effect of varied training frequencies on the development of isometric lumbar extension torque (strength) over 12- and 20-week training periods.
(11) When maximal isometric trunk flexor or extensor torques were imposed upon a maximal Valsalva manoeuvre, transversus abdominis activity and intra-abdominal pressure remained comparable within and across conditions, whereas obliquus internus, obliquus externus and rectus abdominis activities either markedly increased (flexion) or decreased (extension).
(12) An 8-French right Judkins guiding catheter with a single side hole (USCI), a 3.0 mm balloon dilatation catheter (ACS), and a 0.018 high torque floppy guide wire (ACS) were used.
(13) Increased slippage torques of approximately 100 per cent were noted in all interfaces at low values of tightening torque (6 and 8 N m) of the wing-nut clamp and improvements of not less than 50 per cent were obtained at higher tightening torques (10 and 12 N m) on the wing-nut clamp.
(14) Both loadings of axial compression force and axial torque are considered.
(15) An artificial joint that articulates with full fluid film lubrication could greatly reduce wear and frictional torque and hence reduce the incidence of loosening and inflammatory tissue reaction.
(16) The relationship between semitendinosus muscle force and knee joint kinematics during isometric torque production was examined in the frog (Rana pipiens) hindlimb.
(17) Phasic-tonic MUs exhibited a phasic burst of activity during the torque ramp which exceeded the firing rate during the static hold period.
(18) To test this premise, 14 healthy, untrained men trained four days per week for 20 weeks on a bicycle ergometer for endurance (END Group, n = 4), on an isokinetic device for increased torque production (ITP Group, n = 5), or on both devices (COMBO Group, n = 5).
(19) The torque was dependent on the physical distribution of the texture of the sole and slightly dependent on the frictional force.
(20) The rate-torque curves for most of these cells were curvilinear (plateau occurred at heavy torque loads), although some cells showed a linear relationship.
