A 3-D finite element (FE) numerical model was used to analyze structurally a proposed subsurface concrete dam to serve as a strategic water supply storage for the Holy city of Makkah, Saudi Arabia. The work was done mainly to show the behavior of the subsurface dam under the subjecting loads. The plastic concrete was chosen for the construction of the cut-off wall required for the reservoir. Th...

We consider current-induced domain wall motion and, the reciprocal process, moving domain wall-induced current. The associated Onsager coefficients are expressed in terms of scattering matrices. Uncommonly, in (Ga,Mn)As, the effective Gilbert damping coefficient alphaw and the effective out-of-plane spin-transfer torque parameter betaw are dominated by spin-orbit interaction in combination with...

In the construction process of a plastic concrete cut-off wall, concreting is usually performed using the termie pipe method. In this method, concreting is performed from the lowest point in the excavated trench (containing the slurry) using a funnel and the pipe connected to it. The concrete poured in the funnel gradually settles in the panel through the termie pipe which is beneath the slurry...

background: we investigated whether the lungheart ratio parameter (lhr) can be used to identify the optimum cut off frequency for butterworth filter in 99mtc myocardial spect imaging. materials and methods: this study involved a cardiac phantom system consisting of cardiac insert in which 1.10 cm cold defect was inserted into its myocardium wall and filled with 4.0 μci/ml (0.148 mbq/ml) 99mtc c...
