The anchor pile is widely used in marine aquaculture, and its uplift resistance capacity determines the safety performance of aquaculture structure. Cyclic loads such as wind, waves, currents environment affect piles. By carrying out a cyclic loading model test piles for influence amplitude, initial tension angle, other factors on was investigated. experimental results showed that with an incre...

BACKGROUND Uterine contractile activity is very important for many reproductive functions including embryo transport, implantation, gestation and parturition. Abnormal contractility leads to implantation failure, spontaneous miscarriage, preterm birth and many other disorders. The objective of the present study was to assess the effects of acetylcholine (ACh), noradrenaline (NA), oxytocin (OT) ...

This study conducts stress-controlled cyclic tension-tension tests from room temperature (RT) to 200 °C, at 50 °C intervals, on high-purity Cu films comprehensively understand the temperature-dependent fatigue life and related microstructural fracture characteristics. As evidenced by electron backscattering diffraction analysis, Ʃ3 boundary fraction decreases low-angle grain increases as increa...

BACKGROUND The tensile force applied to an anterior cruciate ligament graft determines the maximal anterior translation; however, it is unknown whether the tensile force is transferred to the intra-articular portion of the graft and whether the intra-articular tension and maximal anterior translation are maintained shortly after ligament reconstruction. METHODS Ten cadaveric knees were recons...
