A new calculation method for disc springs with contact flats and reduced thickness is presented in this paper. The analysis aims at putting in evidence the contradiction in standard norms where the standard calculation method for this kind of Belleville springs is used. On the basis of this analysis it is found that standard methods do not work for reduced disc springs because they lead to dang...

Voelz et al. conducted a study of 7,112 white male workers employed at Rocky Flats between 1952 and 1979. Deaths in workers were compared with those in the U.S. white male population. Fewer deaths were observed than expected based on rates in the U.S. population from most causes. The only cause of death significantly elevated in these workers was brain cancers. There were eight deaths in the Ro...

The genus Chaetomium is a frequently occurring fungal taxon world-wide. and Chaetomium-like species occur in indoor environments, where they can degrade cellulose-based building materials, thereby causing structural damage. Furthermore, several of this may also cause adverse effects on human health. aims research were to identify strains isolated from environments Hungary Finland, two geographi...

The aim of the present study was to determine the vertical distribution and abundance of Aedes mosquitoes in multiple storey buildings in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Ovitrap surveillance was conducted for 4 continuous weeks in multiple storey buildings in 4 residential areas located in Selangor [Kg. Baiduri (KB)] and Kuala Lumpur [Student Hostel of University of Malaya (UM), Kg. Kerinc...

The worldwide dissemination of the pilotis multi-storey RC buildings, generally attributed to architect Le Corbusier, was contemporary with a structural engineering line thought that advocated soft first storey as means filtering down seismic inertia forces in upper storeys. These two architectural and international trends, combined outdated detailing low-code design, greatly increase risks dev...

the nonlinear static pushover analysis technique is mostly used in the performance-based design of structures and it is favored over nonlinear response history analysis. however, the pushover analysis with fema load distributions losses its accuracy in estimating seismic responses of long period structures when higher mode effects are important. some procedures have been offered to consider thi...

1 Summary. Sample size estimation is important in microarray or proteomic experiments since biologists can typically afford only a few repetitions. Classical procedures to calculate sample size are based on controlling type I error, e.g., family-wise error rate (FWER). In the context of microarray and other large-scale genomic data, it is more powerful and more reasonable to control false disco...

The performance of buildings subjected to earthquake loads has shown that asymmetric structures are caused more extensive damages in comparison with symmetric structures. Hence, the seismic performance of asymmetric structures should be assessed due to future random earthquakes. Reliability-based seismic assessment as one of the tools in performance-based earthquake engineering has been introdu...

N MOST parts of the geographic distribution of Drosophila psezcdoobscura, I chromosomal types which differ in gene arrangement in the third, the X, and, less frequently, in other chromosomes occur in the populations. The diversity of the gene orders is due to inversion of chromosome sections. Since the chromosomal types interbreed a t random, inversion heterozygotes and homozygotes are found in...
