The anchor pile is widely used in marine aquaculture, and its uplift resistance capacity determines the safety performance of aquaculture structure. Cyclic loads such as wind, waves, currents environment affect piles. By carrying out a cyclic loading model test piles for influence amplitude, initial tension angle, other factors on was investigated. experimental results showed that with an incre...

conclusions: using these factors, nephrologists may predict the occurrence of graft loss or death. if the probability of graft loss was higher, physicians can decrease the immunosuppressive medications dosage to decrease the incidence of graft loss. patients and methods: fine-gray model was used for 266 cases with post-transplant malignancy in iran. these patients were followed-up from the diag...

Benefitting from economic development and technological progress, long-span suspension bridges, with their superior span capacity good economy, have been built in large numbers recent decades. However, the excessive cumulative longitudinal displacement at girder ends process of bridge operation leads to degradation of, fatigue damage to, connecting components. This study aims solve problem an e...

[1] We analyze the kinematics of fault tip folding at the front of a fold-and-thrust wedge using a sandbox experiment. The analog model consists of sand layers intercalated with low-friction glass bead layers, deposited in a glass-sided experimental device and with a total thickness h = 4.8 cm. A computerized mobile backstop induces progressive horizontal shortening of the sand layers and there...

The in vivo lumbar spine of the anaesthetized feline was subjected to passive cyclic anterior flexion-extension at 0.25 Hz and 40 N peak load for cumulative 60 min duration. Displacement (or displacement neuromuscular neutral zones-DNNZ) and tension (or tension neuromuscular neutral zones-TNNZ) at which reflexive EMG activity from the multifidi muscles was initiated and terminated were recorded...

Biodegradable polymer nano- and microparticles are of interest as drug carriers due to their capability modulate release. Two different methods, including solvent displacement spray drying, used, resulting in the fabrication Artemisone (ART)-loaded polymeric microparticles, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission dynamic light scattering, asymmetric flow field fractionation (AF...

soil infiltration characteristics affect the design, evaluation and management of furrow irrigation over afield. on the other hand, different variables influence furrow infiltration, making infiltration modeling for afield a complex process. this study was conducted to investigate the direct and indirect effects of allvariables affecting furrow infiltration. the blocked furrow method was used t...

While much attention is focused on rape as a weapon of war, evidence shows that forced migrant women and girls face increased risks Sexual Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) both during following displacement. In this paper, we argue gendered forms structural symbolic violence enable compound the harms caused by interpersonal SGBV against girls. These are encountered in multiple contexts, including c...
