To investigate the changes in soil dynamic response around tunnel periphery under vibration loads generated by train operation on curved sections, field measurements were carried out to observe void water pressure, level, and settlement ground. Additionally, simulation modeling using MIDAS was employed simulate analyze soil’s impact of loads. Based track stress diagram combined with axle weight...

solute transport processes are affected by soil pore water velocity distribution. pore size distribution, which can be used to infer pore water velocity distribution, can be estimated from a soil water retention curve (n). in this study, a solute breakthrough curve was simulated using soil hydraulic parameters in four different soils. to evaluate the proposed model, predictions were compared to...

description of lactation curve were investigated using sine function, compare it with two functions (dijekstra and wood). the data contained 32233 dairy milk yield records from 93 first parity iranian holstein cows that had calving between aug. 2008 and jul. 2009. actual milk production per day and subsequently the actual production of each animal were available in the first lactation. lactatio...

Some important areas use more and more piezoelectric force test systems, due to their high sensitivity and natural frequency. To study the dynamic testing performance of the system in the conditions of high natural frequency, one of the effective methods is establishing the mathematical model of dynamic response of test system. By improving specific algorithm of the conventional nonlinear modal...

We have developed practical methods for evaluating the magnitude of the random errors in radioimmunoassay dose--response variables, and the relationship between this error and position on the dose--response curve. This is important: to obtain appropriate weights for each point on the dose--response curve when utilizing least-squares curve-fitting methods; to evaluate whether the standards and t...

BACKGROUND The use of beta blockers is limited by their ability to produce bronchospasm in asthmatics. Third generation beta-blockers like Nebivolol may show better tolerability because they may augment the release of nitric oxide (NO) from endothelial cells. However the involvement of NO in the respiratory effect of Nebivolol remains controversial. The present study, carried out on isolated tr...
