The inverse associations between birth weight and later adverse health outcomes and the positive associations between adult body size and poor health imply that increases in relative body size between birth and adulthood may be undesirable. In this paper, the authors describe life course path analysis, a method that can be used to jointly estimate associations between body sizes at different ti...

determination of the optimum loading path (internal pressure- axial feeding) to restrict the bursting, buckling and wrinkling through tube hydroforming process is necessary to produce an acceptable tube. in this paper, the wrinkling and fracture criteria are implemented to an finite element code devoted to the simulation of tube hydroforming processes. using the ansys parametric design language...

Constant-pressure MD simulations complement constant-volume MD simulations and naturally allow the study of systems where external pressure is a driving force for a structural transformation. These transformations take place in crystalline as well as amorphous systems. Besides studies of bulk systems there is also growing interest in simulations of finite systems, such as clusters and nanocryst...

The life path and formation as a scientist of an outstanding in the field materials processing by pressure Sokolov Lev Nikolaevich is considered.

Iron is known to undergo a pressure-induced phase transition from the ferromagnetic (FM) body-centered-cubic (bcc) alpha-phase to the nonmagnetic (NM) hexagonal-close-packed (hcp) epsilon-phase, with a large observed pressure hysteresis whose origin is still a matter of debate. Long ago, Burgers [Physica (Amsterdam) 1, 561 (1934)] proposed an adiabatic pathway for bcc to hcp transitions involvi...

Using the first principles pseudopotential plane-wave method and the full-potential linearized muffin-tin orbital method, we study how the geometry and the electronic structures change along the orthorhombic transition paths of zinc blende ~ZB! to rocksalt ~RS! under high pressure. Two different paths, called the fixed strain ~force-free! path and the fixed position ~hydrostatic stress! path, p...

The familial resemblance in blood pressure in Middle Dalmatia, Croatia, has been analyzed using the Path-analytic approach. The sample consisted of 1,126 examinees (526 males and 600 females, aged 17 to 87), inhabitants of the Middle Dalmatia's islands of Brac, Hvar, Korcula and the Peljesac peninsula. The Path analysis was performed with the assumption that each family member (father, mother, ...

BACKGROUND There are limited data to inform the choice between early treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and early surfactant treatment as the initial support for extremely-low-birth-weight infants. METHODS We performed a randomized, multicenter trial, with a 2-by-2 factorial design, involving infants who were born between 24 weeks 0 days and 27 weeks 6 days of gestation...

because of the role of climate parameters in climate change and improve the efficiency of climate and rainfall prediction models, the study of these parameters are very important in the world. the study of clouds have special important, because the clouds make connection between the synoptic patters and surface climate conditions and any change in its properties, can start a chain reaction in o...
