A review of experimental evidence from the literature in relation to “impact fatigue”, “multiple impacts”, and “repeated impacts” on FRP composites, along with articles discussing theoretical numerical simulations, is provided. new terminology definition presented clear meanings these types loadings. Experimental investigations about impact fatigue, have been categorized terms energy number imp...

Most intertidal rocky systems are exposed to severe tidal, diurnal, and seasonal changes in environmental parameters. In addition, they show extreme vulnerability anthropogenic impacts. Research on multiple drivers is therefore crucial understand the complexity of their potential interactions. Here, we first give an overview natural environment impacts climate change shore systems, then focus d...

The economic viability of tidal turbines will require the deployment of multiple devices in array formations in a manner analogous to wind farms. This research investigates the effects of the configuration of a tidal turbine array, specifically the turbine spacing and capacity, on the hydroenvironmental impacts of the array. The hydrodynamic regime of the Shannon Estuary, a highly energetic est...

BACKGROUND US adolescents have high rates of teen pregnancy, childbearing, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), highlighting the need to identify and implement effective programs that will help improve teen sexual and reproductive health. MATERIALS AND METHODS This review identified 103 random-assignment evaluations of 85 programs that incorporated intent-to-treat analyses and assessed...

conclusions our study suggests that the personality traits of patients with ms and healthy individuals are not significantly different. patients with ms are likely to use the same coping strategies as healthy individuals, except in the subscale of distancing. results no significant differences in personality characteristics were observed between patients and healthy controls (all p > 0.05). onl...
