Expansive soil is a kind of special that mainly composes hydrophilic minerals and has significant deformation characteristics water absorption expansion loss shrinkage. The often bring great harms to engineering construction. Relying on the bridge foundation expansive slope Yangtze-to-Huaihe Water Diversion Project, this study simulates humidity field with temperature for using numerical simula...

Expansive pedicle screws significantly improve fixation strength in osteoporotic spines. However, the previous literature does not adequately address the effects of the number of lengthwise slits and the extent of screw expansion on the strength of the bone/screw interface when expansive screws are used with or without cement augmentation. Herein, four designs for expansive pedicle screws with ...

OBJECTIVE Box-shape cervical expansive laminoplasty is a procedure that utilizes a Miniplate® or Maxpacer® to achieve maximal canal expansion. This method is expected to show much larger canal expansion and good clinical outcome. So we investigated the clinical and radiological outcome of Box-shape cervical expansive laminoplasty. METHODS Between June 2008 and July 2013, we performed cervical...

In a recent paper we have shown that most non-expansive Lipschitz functions (in the sense of Baire’s category) have a maximal Clarke subdifferential. In the present paper, we show that in a separable Banach space the set of non-expansive Lipschitz functions with a maximal Clarke subdifferential is not only of generic, but also staunch. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 49J52.

We obtain sufficient conditions for commutative non-autonomous systems on certain metric spaces (not necessarily compact) to be topologically stable. In particular, we prove that: (i) Every mean equicontinuous, expansive system with strong average shadowing property is (ii) recurrently eventual (iii)

After preparing this note, the paper [IT] was discovered which covers the more general situation of “expansive foliations”, and in codimension one their result includes Theorem1.2. We note that the proof given here is more self–contained and goes into more detail about the construction of the “ping-pong table” in the topological case, which the reader might still find of interest.

We study the presence of low intensity high velocity components, which we have termed wing features in the integrated Hα emission line profiles of the H  region populations of the spiral barred galaxies NGC 1530, NGC 3359 and NGC 6951. We find that more than a third of the H  region line profiles in each galaxy show these components. The highest fraction is obtained in the galaxy whose line...

AIM To present a case of expansive focal cemento-osseous dysplasia and emphasize the importance of differential diagnosis. BACKGROUND Cemento-osseous dysplasia is categorized into three subtypes on the basis of the clinical and radiographic features: Periapical, focal and florid. The focal type exhibits a single site of involvement in any tooth-bearing or edentulous area of the jaws. These le...

Background: CaBP7 is an EF-hand-containing transmembrane protein that inhibits PI4KIII activity. Results: PI4KIII interacts with CaBP7 NTD, which exhibits an expansive hydrophobic pocket. Conclusion: The structure of CaBP7 NTD is similar to that of CaM NTD but has a more expansive hydrophobic pocket containing fewer methionine residues. Significance: Regulation of PI4P synthesis is essential fo...
