Significant strain-gage errors may exist in measurements acquired in transient thermal environments if conventional correction methods are applied. Conventional correction theory was modified and a new experimental method was developed to correct indicated strain data for errors created in radiant heating environments ranging from 0.6 °C/sec (1 °F/sec) to over 56 °C/sec (100 °F/sec). In some ca...

In this study, the static safety factor and fatigue life of fastening devices an agricultural by-product collector were evaluated under hard flat ground driving conditions. The strain gage-based measurement system was constructed, gage attached on highest stress spot derived from structural analysis. calculated using measured values by converting it into data. two operating conditions are consi...

Despite considerable advances in the understanding of thyroid gland biology, correctly diagnosing thyroid nodules and treating high-grade thyroid carcinoma remains challenging. Cancer/testis (CT) antigens have emerged as potential diagnostic tools as well as targets of potential cancer vaccinations. In the present study, a total of 117 patients who underwent surgical therapy for thyroid disease...

The objective of this study was to investigate the possibility of a generic rating curve with a small number of adjustable parameters for the restricted class of bedrock step-pool rivers. The motivation for this study arose from Utah Valley University’s long-term program of groundwater development in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, which requires hydrographs for bedrock step-pool rivers near r...

Final step of rail manufacturing is cold rolling straightening process and it hassignificant effects on mechanical properties, straightness, flatness and development of residualstresses. Measurement of residual stresses after straightening process is obligated by railmanufacturing standards. In the present investigation, an attempt has been made to evaluateresidual stresses after straightening ...

Abstract This article describes the mixed-methods approach used by Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence (GAGE) research programme. It discusses how qualitative quantitative methods can be both in isolation combined to learn about lives of adolescents low- middle-income countries (LMICs), focusing on methodological ethical approaches reach socially marginalised (including with disabilities, n...

Sustainable water resources management is a critically important priority across the globe. While water scarcity limits the uses of water in many ways, floods may also result in property damages and the loss of life. To more efficiently use the limited amount of water under the changing world or to resourcefully provide adequate time for flood warning, the issues have led us to seek advanced te...

Experimental heat flux measurements are made using both thermocouple and thin film gages in high-temperature, hypersonic flows. Thermocouple and thin film gages have individually been extensively used in relatively high and low enthalpy conditions respectively. In this study, three test conditions with varying (intermediate) stagnation enthalpies, Mach and Reynolds numbers are created in an exp...

We have developed a computer-based screening strategy to search the dbEST database to find differentiation antigens that are expressed by cancers arising in nonessential normal tissues such as prostate, breast, and ovary (G. Vasmatzis et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 95: 300-304, 1998). Here, we report the identification of three new members of the GAGE/ PAGE family, termed XAGEs. XAGE-1 and...
