In this study, two kinds of nondestructive evaluation (NDE) techniques (rebound hardness and ultrasonic pulse velocity methods) are investigated for the effective maintenance of underwater concrete structures. A new methodology to estimate the underwater concrete strengths more effectively, named “artificial neural network (ANN) – based concrete strength estimation with the combination of rebou...

Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology | Volume 33 | Issue 2 | April-June 2017 271 to a level exceeding that at baseline before initiation of aspirin therapy.[4] This rebound period is characterized by increased thromboxane production, decreased fibrinolysis, and a resultant clinical prothrombotic state. Platelet function rebound is dose dependent, with a more rapid rebound associated...

We investigated the possibility of a rebound increase in sympathetic response after stopping beta-blocker treatment by measuring heart rate under conditions of increased sympathetic drive, as provided by standing with vasodilatation, or the Valsalva manoeuvure. Significant rebound increases in heart rate were observed after stopping propranolol given for one or more weeks but not when given for...

Rebound disease following cessation of disease modifying treatment (DMT) has been reported in people with both relapsing and progressive multiple sclerosis (pwRMS, pwPMS) questioning strict separation between these two phenotypes. While licensed DMT is available for pwRMS to counter rebound disease, no such option exists for pwPMS. We report on a pwPMS who developed rebound disease, with 45 Gad...

When an energy efficiency improvement occurs at the household level, several mechanisms, grouped under the name of the rebound effect, increase the available income and consumption, increasing the total energy consumption of the economic structure. The present research analyses the links between energy efficiency improvements in households, consumption, and the economic structure in an input-ou...

T HE MARKED INCREASE in the number of bone marrow lymphocytes of the guinea pig,13 and mouse,4 during a period of posthypoxic polycythemia ( rebound) has been extensively investigated. Although there was evidence of lymphocyte production in the rebound bone marrow of the guinea pig,5 the mechanisms by which the lymphocytic bone marrow was formed were not satisfactorily determined. In order to d...

The aim of the study was to explore the possibility of utilizing UV-absorbance measurements of spent dialysate to assess urea rebound. Ten patients on chronic three-times-a-week hemodialysis were included in the study. On-line UV-absorbance of spent dialysate was monitored. Urea rebound was calculated based on urea concentration in blood (Rb) and UV-absorbance in spent dialysate (Ra). Rb and Ra...

Most part of the “Green IT“ or “Green ICT“ discussion is addressing issues of energy efficiency, implicitly assuming that more energy-efficient technologies will substantially contribute to a reduction of total energy consumption and, as a consequence, of CO2 emissions. This assumption is usually challenged by historical evidence for the rebound effect. This paper presents a case study on smart...

The excavation-induced stress relief and inward movement of the retaining wall will result in soil rebound deformation at bottom excavation, adversely affecting nearby existing tunnels foundation piles. Various methods for calculating excavation rely on parameters void ratio obtained from laboratory tests, with considering effects sampling, specimen preparation procedures parameters. As a resul...
