In 2011, there were 6,767 new cases of oral cancer in the UK: 4,510 (67%) in men and 2,257 (33%) in women, giving a male:female ratio of around 20:10.[ 1-4 ] The crude incidence rate shows that there are 15 new oral cancer cases for every 100,000 males in the UK, and 7 for every 100,000 females.
A strut is a structural component designed to resist longitudinal compression. Struts provide outwards-facing support in their lengthwise direction, which can be used to keep two other components separate, performing the opposite function of a tie.
On Automobiles we loosely use the word 'damper' in place of 'shock'. A Strut is essentially a shock absorber and a spring fitted into one unit. On some cars, the damper (or technically the shock absorber) is seperate from the spring. If the Spring and shock are mounted together as a single unit, it is called a strut. Now to conclude, a damper is any material/device in general that can absorb vibration. A shock absorber is a type of damper known as friction damper. A Strut is a shock (damper) with a spring as one unit. Dampers and shock-absorbers are the same. Both of them perform the same function- to quickly phase out the vibrations from the spring that has absorbed the shocks on road in the form of vibrations.
