The following article investigates buckling of moderately thick circular Nano plates with an orthotropic property under uniform radial compressive in-plane mechanical load. Taking into account nonlocal elasticity theory (Eringen), principle of virtual work, first order shear deformation plate theory (FSDT) and nonlinear Von-Karman strains, the governing equations are obtained based on displacem...

We sought to extract additional physiological information from the time-dependent left ventricular (LV) pressure contour and thereby gain new insights into ventricular function. We used phase plane analysis to characterize high-fidelity pressure data in selected subjects undergoing elective cardiac catheterization. The standard hemodynamic indexes of LV systolic and diastolic function derived f...

Traffic Engineering (TE) is an important aspect of contemporary network management. Offline traffic engineering approaches aim to optimize network resources in a static manner, but require accurate estimation of traffic matrices in order to produce optimized network configurations for long-term operation. In order to avoid network congestion and subsequent service disruptions, handling traffic ...

many metal forming problems have been solved using the slip line field method but all of them have either been two-dimensional (plane strain or plain stress) or axisymmetric problems. in this paper a procedure has been proposed by which the slip line field solution to three dimensional problems of metal forming becomes possible. for this purpose the extrusion of shaped sections has been taken a...

Traffic load-balancing in datacenters alleviates hot spots and improves network utilization. In this paper, a stable innetwork load-balancing algorithm is developed in the setting of software-defined networking. A control plane configures a data plane over successive intervals of time. While the MaxWeight algorithm can be applied in this setting and offers certain throughput optimality properti...

Ergonomic measures have been found to reduce load-related trouble from the neck-and-shoulders during visual display unit (VDU) work. An important question is the height at which the screen should be placed to give the lowest possible load. Should it be placed at eye-level or below? The aim of the present study was to investigate whether there was any difference in external loading moments of fo...

Random-dot autostereograms (RDASs) were used to investigate attention shifts along the sagittal plane in distractor-free tasks of high perceptual load. In three experiments using a same/different comparison task, the shape of the gradient over five different depths was examined and the conditions under which the gradient is and is not observed were compared. When the target set consisted of fiv...
