Façade fires in tall buildings are currently occurring more than once a month globally that responsible for many casualties and billions of dollars losses. In particular, the tragic Grenfell Tower fire London with 70 fatalities raised profile façade hazard. This work used well-controlled irradiation up to 60 kW/m2 re-assess hazard typical flame-retardant aluminum composite panels (ACPs) dimensi...

Genome-wide association studies have successfully identified common variants that are associated with complex diseases. However, the majority of genetic variants contributing to disease susceptibility are yet to be discovered. It is now widely believed that multiple rare variants are likely to be associated with complex diseases. Using custom-made chips or next-generation sequencing to uncover ...

The need for reliable methodologies structural monitoring is certainly a current line of research in many engineering sectors. detection the impact on composite materials fact recent subject study, aimed at safeguarding mechanical integrity and improving useful life components. In such context, work deals with evaluation use neural algorithms localizing position impacts structures. Starting fro...

Health system leaders sometimes adopt quality metrics without robust supporting evidence of improvements in quality and/or quantity of life, which may impair rather than facilitate improved health outcomes. In brief, there is now no easy way to measure how much "health" is conferred by a health system. However, we argue that this goal is achievable. Health-weighted composite quality metrics hav...

In the context of panel ordered-response structures, the current paper compares the performance of the maximum-simulated likelihood (MSL) inference approach and the composite marginal likelihood (CML) inference approach. The panel structures considered include the pure random coefficients (RC) model with no autoregressive error component, as well as the more general case of random coefficients ...

In the light weight, high weather resistance and environmental protection requirements of panel used for motorhome, aluminum honeycomb composite, new material with mature quality improvement upgrading motorhome. this paper, existing problems motorhome properties composite are discussed, advantages applying to board analyzed. The application materials motorhomes will meet improving panels, such ...

Owing to the high potential application need in aerospace and structural industry for honeycomb sandwich composite, study on flexural behaviour of composite structure has attracted attention recent decades. The excellent bending structures is based their facesheet (FS) core materials. This research studied effect woven glass-fibre prepreg orientation panel. A three-point test was done as per AS...

Composite likelihood methods are extensions of the Fisherian likelihood theory, one of the most influential approaches in statistics. Such extensions are generally motivated by the issue of computational feasibility arising in the application of the likelihood method in high-dimensional data analysis. Complex dependence presents substantial challenges in statistical modelling and methods and in...

Two experiments were performed to determine the physical and mechanical characteristics of panels consisting of a veneer face and a particleboard core composed of mixed wood particles/powdered-recycled polyethylene (PE) bag waste (MWP) using urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin as a binder. The addition of 25 percent powdered-recycled PE bag waste to the MWP panels did not adversely affect nonaged bond...
