The distribution of end-plate lesions (Schmorl's nodes) and their relationship to bone density and disc degeneration have been studied in 50 post-mortem spines below D9 in subjects aged 13-96 years. Lesions were present in 76% of cases with a predominance in males. They were found more frequently in the lower than in the upper vertebral end-plate. They were also more common and more severe in t...

Two japonica rice cultivars with different panicle trait index (PTI), HP917 (a high-PTI cultivar) and DP128 low-PTI were used to investigate the effects of nitrogen (N) rate plant density on grain distribution secondary branches axis, leaf photosynthetic characteristics, yield by a split plot design. The main plots assigned four N rates (0, 140, 200, 260 kg ha-1), subplots two densities: (D20, ...

The current trend of building construction is using steel frames and reinforced concrete frames. design concept based on strength limit analysis (ultimate strength) which has sufficient ductility to absorb earthquake energy according applicable regulations. In addition this, it also necessary consider the economic aspect. All these structural considerations will influence planning alternatives,...

Three Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) including Grid Partitioning (GP), Subtractive Clustering (SCM) and Fuzzy C-means clustering Methods (FCM) have been used to predict the groutability of granular soil samples with cement-based grouts. Laboratory data from related available in litterature was used for the tests. Several parameters were taken into account in the proposed models: water:ce...
