The eccentric compression behavior of laminated bamboo lumber (LBL) columns with a chamfered section was investigated using eccentricity 30 mm, 60 90 mm and 120 mm. effect ratio on the ultimate bearing capacity, strain failure mode analyzed through tests. modes LBL different eccentricities were basically same, which belonged to brittle tension failure. With increase in ratio, capacity gradually...

Examination of growth curves, which reflect changes in quantity of the products of viral multiplication over a period of time, offers a promising approach to further understanding of the phenomenon of viral reproduction. Henle et al.' have described growth curves based upon the titers of pooled allantoic fluids from groups of eggs sacrificed at various intervals of time after inoculation of inf...

The Hydrogen Clearance Method in Assessment of Blood Flow in Cortex, White Matter and Deep Nuclei of Baboons • The technique of hydrogen clearance by an inhalation method is discussed. The electronic instrumentation necessary to secure stability and reproducibility from the recordings is described. Clearance rates in gray matter of about 80 ml/100 gm per minute in the cortex and putamen have be...

pinch technology is one of the best methods for designing a multi stream heat exchanger(mshe) through a network; current pinch-based methods, however, lead to a larger and more complicateddesign problems. the major drawback of the current methods is they result in designs having more individual mshe sections than essential, correspond to the enthalpy intervals on temperature vs. enthalpy diagra...

background: palladium-103 (103pd) is a brachytherapy source for cancer treatment. the monte carlo codes are usually applied for dose distribution and effect of shieldings. monte carlo calculation of dose distribution in water phantom due to a med3633 103pd source is presented in this work. materials and methods: the dose distribution around the 103pd model med3633 located in the center of 30×30...

Reinforced concrete frame buildings with Open Ground Story (OGS) are one of the most common building configurations in urban habitat. These configurations are known to be vulnerable to seismic excitations, primarily due to the sudden loss in strength in the ground story and differential stiffness distribution throughout the structure. The differential stiffness distribution is attributed primar...

Methods A group of patients with mitral regurgitation underwent electrocardiography, chest teleradiography, venous blood withdrawal, and transthoracic echocardiography. Based on an analysis of the echocardiographic variables, 62 patients had mild and moderate mitral regurgitation (GI) and 34 had severe mitral regurgitation (GII). The discriminating capacity of the BNP for detecting patients wit...

In a finite temperature Thomas-Fermi theory with realistic nuclear interactions, we construct caloric curves for finite nuclei enclosed in a sphere of about 4− 8 times the normal nuclear volume. The specific heat capacity Cv shows a peaked structure that is possibly indicative of a liquid-gas phase transition in finite nuclear systems.

in this paper, we study spacelike dual biharmonic curves. we characterize spacelike dual biharmonic curves in terms of their curvature and torsion in the lorentzian dual heisenberg group . we give necessary and sufficient conditions for spacelike dual biharmonic curves in the lorentzian dual heisenberg group . therefore, we prove that all spacelike dual biharmonic curves are spacelike dual heli...

Background Scoliosis can lead to a decrease in total lung capacity (TLC) and alterations in maximal flow – volume curves, associated with structural deformities and curve magnitude, but also with chronicity of the problem and respiratory muscle inefficiency [1-4]. However, evidence confirming the assumption of beneficial, long lasting influence of scoliosis specific exercise on respiratory func...
