Abnormal posture or any type of spinal misalignment can wreak havoc on the body. Abnormal spinal alignment has been correlated with poor general health, physical function, emotional function, lower back pain and social function. The curves in the spine act as levers, shock absorbers, and as resistance to gravity; they also protect and reduce forces acting on the spinal cord and nerve tissues. A...

We measure the mean halo-mass of z ≃ 0.5 Mg II absorbers using the cross-correlation (over co-moving scales 0.05–13h Mpc) between 1806 Mg II quasar absorption systems and ∼ 250,000 Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs), both selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 3. The Mg II systems have λ2796 rest-frame equivalent widths W r & 0.3 Å. From the ratio of the Mg II–LRG cross-correlation t...

Does a monetary union need fiscal shock absorbers helping the participating countries to cope with asymmetric shocks? The consensus in the debate over EMU argues that the answer is yes. In this paper, we revisit the issue, building on a dynamic, general equilibrium framework of regions in a monetary union exposed to asymmetric shocks. We show that inter-regional taxes and transfers can stabiliz...

Due to the moderate formability of low alloy high strength steels, (TRIP) steels called "transformation induced plasticity" have been developed. They are especially used in production automobile shock absorbers and beam supporting parts. The microstructure these consists distribution ferrite, bainite (5 - 10%) residual austenite phases matrix. generally provided by structure. During shaping, tu...

The investigational studies of regression dependence the new efficient regular packing bed’s flow friction on gas velocity and liquid spray rate has been carried out. tests were made by procedure a complete two-factor experiment. On account experiment design matrix, there are four to be determine dependence. It is found that builds up along with increase superficial rate. puts in touch procured...

All aircraft operate under vibration loads and these cause vibration-induced fatigue damage to the parts. Fatigue damages are dangerous because they occur suddenly without giving a warning before, for this reason need be carefully analyzed. In analysis, especially natural frequencies dampings must determined correctly, when match with frequencies, resonance is observed reduces life of part. stu...

We report the detection, based on HST and Keck data, of two peculiar absorbers in the Lyα forest of the quasar PKS 0454+039. These clouds, at redshifts z = 0.6248 and 0.9315 respectively, display both Mg ii and Fe ii absorption lines in addition to the Lyα line. Based upon photoionization models, these are inferred to be photoionized by the intergalactic UV background, and to have H i column de...
