Application of Incremental Growth Standards

WHO child growth standards.

comprehensive review of the uses and interpretation of anthropometric references. The review concluded that the NCHS/WHO growth reference, which had been recommended for international use since the late 1970s, did not adequately represent early childhood growth and that new growth curves were necessary. The World Health Assembly endorsed this recommendation in 1994. The WHO Multicentre Growth R...

Application of Pulse Method to Incremental Slitting Measurement of Residual Stresses in Laminated Composites

In this research, the incremental slitting method was employed to determine throughthickness residual stress profile of a carbon/epoxy laminate. The method involves measuring strains at the back surface of the stressed specimen, while a narrow slit is cut by a CNC milling machine progressively from the top surface of the specimen. "Pulse Method" was selected as the computational approach for th...

Semantic enterprise application integration standards

This paper investigates the potential of the Semantic Web technologies to support a semantic-based Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) standards architecture. We give detailed information of the support that these technologies and the underlying Description Logics (DL) formalism provide for the integration task. Our main aim is to assess the potential impact of these emerging technologies ...

Incremental explosive analysis and its application to performance-based assessment of stiffened and unstiffened plates

In this paper, the dynamic behavior of square plates with various thicknesses and stiffening configurations subjected to underwater explosion (UNDEX) are evaluated through a relatively novel approach which is called Incremental Explosive Analysis (IEA). The IEA estimates the different limit-states and deterministic assessment of plats’ behavior, considering uncertainty of loading conditions and...
