Existing reinforced concrete (RC) members, designed in accordance with obsolete codes, are often characterized by high stirrup spacing. The collapse mechanisms generated spacing typically related to the buckling of longitudinal reinforcement and can be accentuated when corrosion takes place. In this paper, new refined material constitutive laws for steel, including inelastic reinforcement, impl...

Recently, the security of existing symmetric cryptographic algorithms and protocols has been threatened by new performance challenges vulnerabilities. In this paper, we propose a dynamic key-dependent approach, ”TRESC”, to make ciphers more efficient robust. This can be done using substitution permutation primitives reduce number rounds while providing better resistance against cryptanalysis im...

Life-cycle assessment (LCA) is currently one of the construction industry's most widely used methods environmental assessment. Because LCA calculations based on life-cycle thinking are lifespan building a sensitive parameter in relation to calculated overall impact building. More accurate assessments lifespans buildings therefore prerequisite for reducing errors and uncertainties Life Cycle Cos...

In this paper, we investigate the properties of some recently pro-posed fuzzy distance measures. We find out some shortcomings for these dis-tances and then the obtained results are illustrated by solving several examplesand compared with the other fuzzy distances.

Objectives: Cerebellar infarction is an ischemic type episode involving the three main cerebellar arteries. An infarction in each of these arteries causes different but common symptoms, requiring a particularly important contribution of physiotherapy to its treatment. This overview aimed to investigate the effectiveness of physiotherapy programs on the symptoms of patients with cerebellar infar...

autoimmunity and viral infections are closely associated fields, and viruses have been proposed as a likely aetiological, contributory or triggering factors of systemic autoimmune diseases. hepatitis c virus seems to be the virus usually associated with the appearance of autoimmune diseases, and the relationship between chronic hepatitis c virus infection and some autoimmune disease has been st...

purpose: to evaluate the diagnostic signs, intraoperative complications and postoperative outcomes in children with congenital cataract and pre-existing posterior capsule defect (ppcd). methods: this interventional case series was conducted on 14 eyes of 7 patients who underwent lensectomy-anterior vitrectomy for congenital cataract with ppcd. all children had bilateral cataract. preoperative d...
