this article considers the seismic behavior of beam-to-column joints in steel frames for different bolt arrangements by using of finite element modeling. as the most important beam-to-column joint type, the beam-to-column joints with end-plate is chosen for the analysis. four different specimens have been analyzed. these models had some differences such as bolt arrangement and the presence or a...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES It has already been proved that procainamide potentiates the neuromuscular blockade of d-tubocurarine; however, the mechanism of this potentiation is controversial. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of procainamide on the neuromuscular blockade produced by rocuronium and investigate the mechanisms of this interaction. METHODS Fifteen rats (250 to 300 ...

License plate detection is the first and essential step of license recognition system still challenging in real applications, such as on-road scenarios. In particular, small-sized multi-oriented plates, mainly caused by remote mobile camera, are to detect. We propose a novel applicable method for degraded via vehicle-plate relation mining this work. The proposed can detect coarse-to-fine scheme...

an experimental study was carried out on the wake of a cylinder on the back of which a plate is installed parallel to the fluid flow, with different terminal angles, where the reynolds number is 50000. at the end of the plate, blades with the height of 0.25 equal to the cylinder diameter and with 45, 90 and 135 degrees angle from the horizon, are installed where the cylinder diameter is equal t...
