The Uniform Honeycomb-filled Tube (UHT) is one of the composite structures that has shown huge potential in absorbing energy. In this paper, Honeycomb (UH) filler replaced by an enhanced Modularized (MH). biggest advantage MH it can significantly enhance energy absorption without adding weight compared with its uniform counterpart. Finite element models are created, and then validated theoretic...

In this paper, we propose the use of modified Hough transforms to efficiently extract object feature parameters, which are usually contaminated by heavily noisy corrugation and discontinuity. The modified HT (MHT) is developed by introducing spatial and parameter weighting functions to improve the detection performance for the traditional Hough transform (HT), which generally fails to robustly ...

By far, the most complicated case in target tracking is to track multiple maneuvering targets in heavy clutter. Numerous methods and algorithms have been devoted to this problem and for any one of them pros and cons can be pointed out. Theoretically, for example, the MHT method is known to be the most powerful approach to tracking multiple maneuvering targets in clutter. This method, however, v...

b ackground : one of the main mechanisms of resistance to carbapenems is potential of klebsiella pneumoniae to produce k . pneumoniae carbapenemase (kpc). kpc is an important type of carbapenemase, which can hydrolyze carbapenems and other beta-lactam antibiotics. modified hodge test (mht) and  use  of  boronic  acid  as  a  kpc  inhibitor  are  two  types  of  phenotypic methods, which are use...

Ground contact pressures exerted by elements of the machine chassis on ground in forest are associated with impact soil during its operation. In case a crawler system, determining pressure appears simple, which is not entirely true. The aim study was to analyze loads (forest soil) MHT 8002HV harvester chassis. measurements were made Forest School Enterprise Kostelec nad Černými Lesy, Central Bo...

The problem of tracking under adverse conditions, such as when the target SNR is low, is known to be a difficult one. One approach to handling this problem is to use a sophisticated tracking method based on the multi-hypothesis tracking (MHT) algorithm. An alternative is to incorporate additional information such as the strength of the measured return. Another option is to combine the two appro...

BACKGROUND Bacterial resistance to antibiotics has become a major source of concern for public health. Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains are important opportunistic pathogens. These bacteria have a high resistance to a wide range of existing antimicrobials and antibiotics. OBJECTIVES The present study was performed to evaluate the frequency of KPC in P. aeruginosa isolated from clinical samples ...

BACKGROUND There is extensive epidemiological evidence that menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) increases breast cancer risk, particularly combinations of estrogen and progestagen (EP). We investigated the effects of the specific formulations and types of therapies used by French women. Progestagen constituents, regimen (continuous or sequential treatment by the progestagen), and time interval bet...

OBJECTIVES The negative publicity about menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) has led to increased use of complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) and non-pharmacological interventions (NPI) for menopausal symptom relief. We report on the prevalence and predictors of CAM/NPI among UK postmenopausal women. METHOD Postmenopausal women aged 50-74 years were invited to participate in the UK Colla...
