In recent years, the authors have developed a dedicated strain gage (hereafter referred to as K-value gage) and an analysis method that can analyze stress intensity factor of crack with single element. The single-element K value obtain opening mode simulated within ±5% theoretical value. this study, using gage, was inserted into one side edge strip attempt made when out-of-plane bending load ap...

serovar isolated from a canal in Louisiana in 1978 revealed it to be identical to that of V. cholerae 01 isolated in 1905 from a pilgrim at the El Tor quarantine station. The two strains are associated with sharply contrasting habitats. Ranges of variation of 5 to 15% in procaryotic 5S rRNA sequences between species are typical; variation within species may be 2% or greater. Because the 5S rRNA...

This empirical analysis examines the use of the live-streaming application Periscope in three crises that occurred in 2015. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of tweets relating to the Amtrak derailment in Philadelphia, Baltimore protests after Freddie Grey’s death, and Hurricane Joaquin flooding in South Carolina reveal that this recently deployed application is being used by both citizens ...

In August 2007, several horses showed pyrexia and respiratory signs while in post-arrival quarantine in Australia. Subsequent investigations diagnosed equine influenza by serology and PCR in two quarantine stations. A common origin in a shipment of horses from Japan was indicated.

the lack of reliable and updated precipitation datasets is the most important limitation in the study of many climatological and hydrological subjects, including climate change and temporal variability of precipitation in many data sparse areas around the globe. this is particularly valid for iran where vast areas of central-eastern country that host the iranian deserts, suffer from an inadequa...
