Lam This study evaluates energy and carbon use by two types of facilities—conventional confinement and hoop barn-based—within farrow-to-finish pig production systems scaled to produce 5200 and 15,600 market pigs annually i...

Retrospective review of 730 consecutive primary uncemented and cemented total hip arthroplasties revealed 19 intra-operative hoop-stress fractures of the femoral neck. These were incomplete, linear, and minimally displaced. Management was by cerclage wiring (12), bone graft and cerclage (two), further impaction (two), and the use of cement (three), with no change from our standard postoperative...

in this paper, an experimental and numerical investigation into the effect of the hoop welding in metallic pressure vessel is presented. in the experimental manufacturing, hoop welding was used to attach the cylindrical body of the vessel, and the effect of welding into stress and strain distribution is carried out. experimental strains are obtained by using the strain gauges attached to predet...

It is necessary to recognize masonry domes’ behavior under gravity loads in order strengthen, restore, and conserve them. The neutral hoop plays a crucial role identifying the dome’s distinguish between its tensile compressive regions. When it comes determining position dome with same brick material, addition curve thickness, support condition located on boundary line significant parameter that...

De vroege eenentwintigste eeuw zag een golf van literaire teksten waarin de klimaatverandering centraal staat. Dit artikel bespreekt wat tegenwoordig klimaatfictie of “clifi” wordt genoemd als alternatieve vorm klimaatcommunicatie, omarmd niet alleen door literatuurliefhebbers maar ook wetenschappers en activisten die tegen grenzen het informatietekort-model aanlopen in hun pogingen om bewustwo...

We investigate the occurrence of naked singularities in the spherically symmetric, plane symmetric and cylindrically symmetric collapse of charged null fluid in an antide Sitter background. The naked singularities are found to be strong in Tipler’s sense and thus violate the cosmic censorship conjecture, but not hoop conjecture. PACS number(s): 04.20.Dw That the end state of gravitational colla...
