    Bone mineral density, sex steroids, and mineral metabolism in premenopausal smokers (1994)

    Notes: Abstract Smoking is related to decreased bone mass and increased risk of osteoporotic fractures. However, the harmful effects of smoking on bone have not been well characterized. The purpose of this study was to assess the repercussions of smoking on bone mass in premenopausal women, and the relationship between these effects and parameters of mineral metabolism and hormone profile. We measured bone mineral density (BMD) in 101 premenopausal women (47 smokers, 54 nonsmokers) with dualenergy X-ray absorptiometry (DeXA) of the proximal femur and lumbar spine. In a subgroup of the sample (16 smokers, 15 nonsmokers) we measured biochemical indicators of mineral metabolism and hormone profile. BMD in the femoral neck, Ward's triangle, and the intertrochanter region was significantly lower in smoker (P〈0.05) than in nonsmokers. Concentrations of sex hormone-binding globulin were higher, and free testosterone index (FTI) was lower (P〈0.05) in smokers. We found no significant differences between the groups in parameters of mineral metabolism. Concentrations of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and free testosterone index were directly correlated with values of BMD in different sites. Our findings show that smoking by premenopausal women is associated with decreased BMD and characteristic changes in the hormone profile.

    Bone mass in androgen-insensitivity syndrome: Response to hormonal replacement therapy (1995)
    Springer
    Calcified tissue international 57 (1995), S. 94-96

    ISSN: 1432-0827
    Keywords: Androgen insensitivity syndrome ; Hormone replacement therapy ; Bone mineral density

    Notes: Abstract The response of bone mass to long-term treatment with estrogen and progesterone in patients with complete androgen-insensitivity syndrome (AIS) is unknown. We report a 17-year-old female patient (karyotype 46 X, Y) with AIS studied during a 4-year period. Bone mineral density (BMD) measured by dual X-ray absorptiometry in lumbar spine and proximal femur was sharply reduced at the initial visit, and remained unchanged during long-term follow-up on hormone replacement therapy with estrogens and progestin. Bone metabolism markers were all in the normal range. The lack of significant increase in BMD highlights the importance of androgens on bone physiology that cannot be balanced in spite of an appropriate estrogenic milieu.

    Decay rates for viscoelastic plates with memory (1996)
    Springer
    Journal of elasticity 44 (1996), S. 61-87 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-2681
    Keywords: 35B40 ; 35L05 ; 35L70 ; viscoelasticity ; exponential decay ; initial boundary value problems
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Production Engineering, Mining and Metallurgy, Traffic Engineering, Precision Mechanics , Physics
    Notes: Abstract We consider the viscoelastic plate equation and we prove that the first and second order energies associated with its solution decay exponentially provided the kernel of the convolution also decays exponentially. When the kernel decays polynomially then the energy also decays polynomially. More precisely if the kernel g satisfies g(t) ⩽ -c0g(t)1+1/p and g,g1+1/p ∈ L1(ℝ) with p 〉 2, then the energy decays as 1/(1+t)p.

    The Transmission Problem of Viscoelastic Waves (2000)
    Springer
    Acta applicandae mathematicae 62 (2000), S. 1-21 
    Details
    ISSN: 1572-9036
    Keywords: transmission problem ; exponential decay ; partially viscoelastic ; materials with memory
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract In this paper we consider the transmission problem of viscoelastic waves. That is, we study the wave propagations over materials consisting of elastic and viscoelastic components. We show that for this types of materials the dissipation produced by the viscoelastic part is strong enough to produce exponential decay of the solution, no matter how small is its size. We also show that the linear model is well posed.

    Uniform Rates of Decay in Anisotropic Thermo-Viscoelasticity (1998)
    Springer

    Notes: Abstract We consider the anisotropic and inhomogeneous thermo-viscoelastic equation. We prove that the first and second-order energy decay exponentially as time goes to infinity provided the relaxation function also decays exponentially to zero. While if the relaxation functions decay polynomially to zero, then the energy decays also polynomially. That is, the kernel of the convolution defines the rate of decay of the solution.
