An experimental program to determine t ie pi-enomenological aspects of composite-panel failure under simultaneous compressive n-plane loading and low-velocity transverse impact [C-75 m/s (0-250 ftls)] is described. Highspeed photograohy coupled with the shadow-moire techniq~e is usec to record the phenomenon of failure propagatior. The informat on gained from these records, supplemented by plat...

In the Mesilla Valley of southern New Mexico, furrow irrigation is the primary source of water for growing onions. As the demand for water increases, there will be increasing competition for this limited resource. Water management will become an essential practice used by farmers. Irrigation ef®ciency (IE) is an important factor into improving water management but so is economic return. Therefo...

The primary objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of isometric exercise (IE) as a countermeasure to hindlimb unloading (HU)-induced atrophy of the slow (soleus) and fast (plantaris and gastrocnemius) muscles. Rats were assigned to either weight-bearing control, 7-day HU (H7), H7 plus IE (I7), 14-day HU (H14), or H14 plus IE (I14) groups. IE consisted of ten 5-s maximal isom...

are such that if input data of size N produce random costs LN , then LN D = Ln + L̄N−n + RN for N ≥ n0 ≥ 2, where n follows a certain distribution PN on the integers {0, . . . ,N} and Lk D = L̄k for k ≥ 0. Ln, LN−n and RN are independent, conditional on n, and RN are random variables, which may also depend on n, corresponding to the cost of splitting the input data of size N (into subsets of size...

Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) infection induces myocardial inflammation and myocyte necrosis in some, but not all, strains of mice. C57BL/6 mice, which inherently lack major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II IE antigen, develop minimal cardiac lesions despite high levels of virus in the heart. The present experiments evaluate the relative roles of class II IA and IE expression on myocarditis...
