The energy absorption of concrete filled, hollow-steel bracing was analyzed respect to geometric and mechanical parameters including the width-to-thickness section ratio, slenderness level, and strength of the steel and concrete. Local buckling and ductility were also investigated with respect to variation in the cross-section. The infill increased the compression resistance, even after multipl...

Significant production of breath hydrogen has been shown in premature infants, suggesting limited intestinal capacity for digestion of carbohydrate. To evaluate net absorption of carbohydrate 24 three day balance studies were carried out in seven preterm infants fed pasteurised banked human milk and in 17 preterm infants fed a formula containing 75% lactose and 25% glucose polymers. Because car...

The total reaction cross section of high-energy nucleus-nucleus collision refects the nuclear density profiles colliding nuclei and has been a standard tool to investigate size properties short-lived unstable nuclei. This basis relies on assumption that is strongly absorptive in sense an optical model. However, this property does not hold completely, while incomplete absorption occurs when over...
