Charged aerosol particles and water droplets are abundant throughout the lower atmosphere, and may influence interactions between small cloud droplets. This note describes a small, disposable sensor for the measurement of charge in non-thunderstorm cloud, which is an improvement of an earlier sensor [K. A. Nicoll and R. G. Harrison, Rev. Sci. Instrum. 80, 014501 (2009)]. The sensor utilizes a s...

the gastrointestinal tract to evaluate because of its long length, complex looped configuration, and also because of its distant location. Only the proximal portion of the jejunum and the terminal ileum can be examined with the use of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and colonoscopy. Thus, other examination tools such as small bowel follow-through, enteroclysis, capsule endoscopy and double-bal...

In this paper, a new type of prefabricated concrete structure system is put forward, and bi-directional multi-ribbed floor forward in combination with system.Finite element analysis carried out on the floor, its mechanical properties are analyzed, compared test hysteresis curve, rationality correctness finite obtained.

P. Pokorný, D. Dobiáš, M. Vokáč – Czech Technical University – Klokner Institute, Prague, Czech Republic This paper evaluates the effect of initial corrosion damage to the surface of the hot dip galvanized steel coating in fresh concrete on its final bond strength. The tests were performed on uncoated and hot-dip galvanized ribbed reinforcements. The measurement of bond stress (τm) according to...

An analytical model is developed for examining the vibro-acoustic properties of a fluid-loaded plate reinforced by periodic ribs of finite width. This model is used to understand the frequency filtering properties of the flexural wave and the structural-borne sound wave of the ribbed plate under different fluid loading conditions. The relationships between the flexural waves and the related sou...

Three species of mussels collected from fresh- and low salinity (10 psu or lower) brackish-water environments in southern Thailand, Singapore, northern Borneo south Sulawesi formed a new, well-supported distinct mytilid clade based on molecular phylogeny. All are small (< 30 mm) with either radially ribbed smooth shells. Internally, the upper edges ascending lamellae outer inner demibranchs are...

Expansive soils shrink and swell with drying wetting cycles. The shrink-swell capacity of expansive can result in differential movement beneath foundations which is a very common cause foundation problems. Ribbed slab, often called waffle one the efficient inexpensive solutions for use under light structures resting on soils. This paper presents numerical analysis that used to calculate displac...

CASE A 67-year-old woman complaining of continuous fresh vaginal hemorrhage came to our emergency department in a pre-shock state. Examinations revealed an irregularly shaped mass in the uterus and active arterial bleeding. Emergent hysterectomy and interventional radiology were not immediately available. Foley catheter with 20mL water was inserted into the uterine cavity, then the balloon was ...
