Existing tunnels are often subject to longitudinal bending when undercrossing tunnelling. It is of significance more accurately evaluate the equivalent stiffness (LEBS) existing tunnel within influential zone. A new analytical method proposed for LEBS segmental lining joints with consideration incorporating combined action residual jacking force and moment. The solution can degenerate into a sp...

The temperature field evolving in the limestone around the district heating tunnel in Copenhagen due to operation of the long-distance heating pipelines is investigated by means of poro-hydro-thermal numerical analyses. The presented parametric studies illustrate the coupling between the temperature and the groundwater flow. It is shown how a general horizontal groundwater flow and the hydrauli...

Recent years have seen enormous progress in understanding the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an autoimmunological disorder that primarily affects the joints and leads to their progressive destruction. Advances in molecular biology techniques such as the use of gene transfer and gene silencing technology, the utilization of novel animal models of destructive arthritis–particularly in...

Underlying fabrics can change the appearance, function and quality of the garment, and also add so much longevity of the garment. Nowadays, with the increasing use of various types of fabrics in the garment industry, their resistance to bagging is of great importance with the aim of determining the effectiveness of textiles under various forces. The current paper investigated the effect of unde...

conclusion ped software of dual-source ct combined with perfusion imaging can significantly improve the detection rate of peripheral pulmonary embolism. results ctpa images revealed 50 (7.81%) segmental and 56 (4.38%) sub-segmental pulmonary embolisms, while the ped images showed 68 (10.63%) segmental and 94 (7.34%) sub-segmental pulmonary embolisms. thus, the detection rate on ped images for p...

Inter-segmental moments computed by inverse dynamic during gait come from active moments, due to muscle contraction, but also passive resulting the resistance of periarticular structures their deformation. The evaluation proportion inter-segmental that can be attributed has led divergent results. Thus, purpose this study was systematically search and synthesize evidence contribution healthy pat...

  The distribution and localization of acid and neutral mucins in various cells lining the olfactory epithelium of Cyprinus carpio have been studied histochemically by employing the PAS-AB technique. Variations in the localization of protein in different cells lining the olfactory epithelium have been correlated with the functional significance of the region concerned. Intense localization of t...
