Experimental investigation was conducted on corroded composite push-out specimens to study the behavior of shear studs subjected to fatigue loading. A total of eight standard EC4 push-out specimens were tested. The expected corrosion rate of test specimens ranged from 0 to 50%. The main purpose of these tests was to determine the fatigue life and the reduction effect caused by the corrosion on ...

A fabrication process has been developed for fully planarized Nb-based superconducting inter-layer connections (vias) with minimum size down to 250 nm for superconductor very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuits with 8 and 10 superconducting layers on 200-mm wafers. Instead of single Nb wiring layers, it utilizes Nb/Al/Nb trilayers for each wiring layer to form Nb pillars (studs) providing ve...

The present study is an attempt to enlist plants used to increase the secretion of milk among new mothers and lactating woman and to gather information on how this plant resources are used by indigenous people in Andhra Pradesh. This stud have brought to light 13 useful plants that were formerly either less known or unknown.

there is no reason to think that the losers, in terms of relative position, had any entitlement to their antecedent relative position; and we are not, after all, speaking of redistribution from poor to rich. On distributional concerns and cost-benefit analysis, see various papers in Symposium, J. Legal Stud.

The primrose path and prisoner’s dilemma paradigms may require cognitive (executive) control: The active maintenance of context representations in lateral prefrontal cortex to provide top-down support for specific behaviors in the face of short delays or stronger response tendencies. This perspective suggests further tests of whether altruism is a type of self-control, including brain imaging, ...

Considerable difficulty has been experienced in interpreting the results of toxicity tests on certain antibiotics employing aqueous solutionsas recommendedby various Pharmacopoeias. The strain of mice as a possible factor influencing the results has been emphasised. Ionic concentration of the solutions and the rate of injection are other factor~ considered responsible for the immediate mortalit...

An expression in the exterior algebra of a Peano space yielding Pappus' theorem was originally given by Doubilet, Rota, and Stein [Doubilet, P., Rota, G.-C. & Stein, J. (1974) Stud. Appl. Math. 8, 185-216]. Motivated by an identity of Rota, I give an identity in a Grassmann-Cayley algebra of step 3, involving joins and meets alone, which expresses the theorem of Pappus.
