BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy) is a progressive neurological disorder of cattle, and has been called “mad cow disease.” Its symptoms are similar to “scrapie,” a brain disease that occurs in sheep. Cattle affected by BSE experience progressive degeneration of the nervous system. Affected animals may display changes in temperament, such as nervousness or aggression, abnormal posture, inco...

The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an acute and severe form of microvascular lung injury which is frequently seen in intensive therapy units. Reductions in mortality have been reported by some centres; however, 40–70% of patients still die from this syndrome. 2 Treatment at present is largely supportive and, despite our increased understanding of the pathological processes involv...

Nach einer Einleitung und Diskussion tiber die Eingen­schaften der diabetischen Krankheiten wurde ausflihrlich trber die Aetiologie und Pathophysiologie der Zuckeran­kheiten,insbesondere der Altersdiabetis,gesprochen.Nach der symptomalogie der Diabetis haben wir die ncueste Einteilung der Zuckerkrankheiten genannt und die Untc­rsuchungsmethoden,die heute Uhlich sind,erwahnt;dazu wurden unsere M...

This study focuses on the prediction of progressive brittle damages corroded stiffened structures by using peridynamics. First, deformations a structure subjected to uniform static pressure are investigated, and peridynamics results verified with from finite element analysis. Second, plate predicted, effects corrosion crack path as well bending strength investigated. Next, different types: loca...

In order to identify physical model parameters of a high-rise building, a new story stiffness identification method is presented based on a shear-bending model and the identification function. Although a shear building model may be the simplest conventional model for representing tall buildings, the system identification (SI) method using that model is not necessarily appropriate. This is becau...

The design of multi stage deep drawing processes requires the evaluation of many process parameters such as the intermediate die geometry, the blank shape, the sheet thickness, the blank holder force, friction, lubrication etc..These process parameters have to be determined for the optimum forming conditions before the process design. In general sheet metal forming may involve stretching drawin...

Cross-sectional deformation of double-ridged rectangular tube (DRRT) inevitably occurs due to the inhomogeneous deformation induced by external boundary conditions in rotary draw bending (RDB). Unreasonable factor combination would aggravate the cross-sectional deformation of DRRT. So, a powerful and efficient method combining Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Non-Sorted Genetic Algorithm ...

die erlebnislyrik umfasst die gedichte, in denen es um die erinnerung eines lyrischen ichs an ein geschehen geht, wobei mit dem gedichtschreiben ein erinnerungsvorgang in gang gesetzt wird, der einen bezug zwischen dem erlebenden ich und dem geschehen schafft und damit ein unmittelbares erleben erzeugt. die speziellen mittel der lyrik wie reim, rhythmik, klang, melodie, wiederholung, bildsprach...

in this work, laser bending of perforated sheets has been investigated numerically. laser bending of perforated sheets is more complicated than non-perforated sheets due to their complex geometries. in this paper, laser bending of perforated sheets is studied numerically in the form of thermo-mechanical analysis with abaqus/implicit code. for this purpose, the effects of process and sheet param...
