The aim of this study was to evaluate sound and decayed wood of Iranianbeech (Fagus orientalis) with a nondestructive stress wave method. Wood samples,with dimensions of 9 by 19 by 200 mm were decayed in laboratory soil-bed tests,based on European pre-standard ENV-807. The decay was evaluated by measuringbending dynamic modulus of elasticity (MOEd) and longitudinal dynamicmodulus of elasticity ...

in this paper, full scale load test of a horizontally curved steel box-girder bridge is carried out in order to detect structural defects, which reportedly result in unwanted vibrations in nearby buildings. the bridge is tested under the passage of six heavy vehicles at different speeds, so as to determine its static and dynamic responses. a total number of one hundred and two (102) sensors are...

The ability of the Transgrow and JEMBEC systems to yield positive cultures when transported to a central laboratory was compared. There were no significant differences in the recovery rates of the two systems. Statistically significant decreases in recovery rate were noted when each system was compared with the traditional plate-candle jar technique.

This article presents an optimization of the drinking water treatment process at SUCRIVOIRE station. The objective is to optimize coagulation and flocculation (fundamental said plant)by determining optimal dosages products injected then proposes a program for calculating dose coagulant in order automatically determine latter according raw quality. contribution has advantage saving user from any...

BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common diagnosis at autopsies of military and civil aircrews. Identifying aviators with a high risk of an acute coronary syndrome is of aeromedical interest as it allows flight surgeons to employ prevention and intervention strategies to avoid death or a lifelong duties not including flying (DNIF) status of aircrew members. The aim of this study was...

This paper describes how to resign Jar files. Jar files (Java archives) are used by technologies (like Java Web Start) to deploy applications that are run with increased privileges. The Jar files are signed with certificates that generally expire after a year. The annual resigning of the files is therefore an event that occurs after the signer has forgotten how resigning is done. Manual resigni...
