Friction Reduction in Elastohydrodynamic Contacts by Thin Layer Thermal Insulation by Björling, M.

“…The presented simulations, validated by experiments, show that applying a thin DLC coating to metal surfaces creates an insulating effect that due to the increased liquid lubricant film temperature at the center of the contact, locally reduces lubricant viscosity and thus friction. …”

Circulating lipid levels and risk of coronary artery disease in a large group of patients undergoing coronary angiography by Deeb, Mary E.

“…We conducted a cross-sectional association study between TC/HDL-C ratio and the number and type of vessels occluded in catheterized patients by controlling for confounding effects. The TC/HDL-C ratio ≥4 significantly predicts ≥50 % stenosis in all vessels individually with the odds ratio (OR) ranging from 1.22 to 1.92. …”
