The questions of the theory and practice testing structures with dynamic loads are presented. A concrete example a structure on its physical model by load is clearly shown. Some information necessary for statistical processing research results given. Building exposed to intensive loads. existing methods regulatory requirements should consider loss strength subject impacts. types will show what ...

Objectives: This case study highlights the applicability of Dynamic Assessment (DA) in exploring the cognitive development and intellectual functioning of a schizophrenic foreign language learner. Methods: The general analytical framework of study to unmask the changes in the learner’s competence is Microgenesis. Results: Analysis of the findings not only supports the Vygotskian view re...

The low-dose effect and non-monotonicity hypotheses challenge key concepts in eco-toxicology and risk assessment, and also the possibility to predict the effects of a chemical at low levels of exposure from its effects at higher levels of exposure. Low-dose effects and Non-Monotonic Dose-response Curves (NMDRC) provides situations to understand impacts for toxicological risk assessment paradigm...

Reliable assessment of endothelial function is important for the diagnosis, risk prediction and treatment-monitoring in cardiovascular disease. Numerous techniques exist such as flow mediated dilation (FMD) (1, 2), venous occlusion plethysmography (3, 4), pulse-wave analysis (5) and laser Doppler iontophoresis (6). Individually, each technique provides some information on the state of endotheli...
