The potential for a large disaster in Banda Aceh City requires that the school buildings to be highly resilient risks may arise. One of efforts evaluate performance building structure is by developing fragility curve shows probability damage buildings. For seismic susceptibility, formed using Incremental Dynamic Analysis method which uses historical earthquake data. As tsunami reviewing inundat...

introduction: nowadays,  considerable developments  in  the field  of  radiotherapy have  been  achieved.  they  include  the  advances  made  in  the  equipments  and  treatment  planning  techniques  which  require  highly complex calculations. such achievements have made it possible to treat cancer patients not only  with  higher  radiation  dose  but  also  with  higher  precision  and  con...

We present an analytic scheme to connect the fragility and viscoelasticity of metallic glasses to the effective ion-ion interaction in the metal. This is achieved by an approximation of the short-range repulsive part of the interaction, combined with nonaffine lattice dynamics to obtain analytical expressions for the shear modulus, viscosity, and fragility in terms of the ion-ion interaction. B...

Objective To identify the prevalence of osteoporosis and hypovitaminosis D among patients at the Siriraj Metabolic Bone Disease (MBD) Clinic, and to compare initial vitamin D levels in patients with and without a history of fragility fractures. Methods Medical records of patients who attended our MBD clinic between 2012 and 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. Patient baseline demographic, cli...

Erythrocytes containing haemoglobin C do not lyse normally in the peroxidase channel of the Technicon H6000 automated cell counter. This interferes with the normal function of the channel and results in a characteristic abnormal pattern. This correlates with a reduced osmotic fragility of the red cells.

The aim of this commentary is to address a number of issues and omissions arising from the integrative review of Bulmer-Smith et al. (2009) on emotional intelligence (EI) and nursing. An important objective is to bring to the attention of readers the growing research on trait EI (or trait emotional self-efficacy), which did not feature in Bulmer-Smith et al.’s review. As a scientific alternativ...

The pharmacokinetics and analgesic effect of i.v. ketamine in doses of 125 microgram kg-1 and 250 microgram kg-1 were determined in five healthy volunteers. Analgesia was measured with the submaximal effort tourniquet test. Both doses of ketamine prolonged the period of pain-free ischaemic exercise while the plasma ketamine concentration was greater than 100 ng ml-1. Ketamine was distributed ra...

Research on state fragility has seldom examined questions of persistence and transition of states. We develop a sixfold typology of states to examine how key structural features of states evolve and contribute to successful exits from fragility in some cases and persistence in others. Particularly worrisome is the lack of positive transition among the weakest states. Our findings are derived fr...

I T HAS been demonstrated by Fahraeus’4 that normal red blood cells have a tendency to bcccme spheroidal in shape after standing in vitro at body ternperature. G#{228}nsslen,5 Haden6 and Castle and Daland7 have shown that spheroidal red cells are more susceptible to osmotic hemolysis than are normal corpuscles. Haden found that normal red cells when suspended in graded hypotonic salt solutions ...

Background: The main consequence of osteoporosis is the occurrence fractures due to bone fragility, with important sequelae in terms disability and mortality. It has been already demonstrated that information about mass density (BMD) alone not sufficient predict risk fragility fractures, since several occur patients normal BMD [1]. Fragility Score a parameter allows estimate skeletal thanks tra...
