Equations are established for the deformation of a viscoelastic porous solid containing a viscous fluid under the most general assumptions of anisotropy. The particular cases of transverse and complete isotropy are discussed. General solutions are also developed for the equations in the isotropic case. As an example the problem of the settlement of a loaded column is treated. The second-order e...

The Traditional data warehouse did not contain data as today. Hence, it is difficult to retrieve these data and treat them. Furthermore, its content is not updated, which may lead to bad decisions. Data are typically loaded from conventional operational systems. Given that today’s decisions, in the business world, are becoming more and more in real time. Thus, the system supporting these decisi...

Derivatives of the single molecule magnet (SMM) {[Re(triphos)(CN)(3)](4)[MnCl](4)} (Re(4)Mn(4)) {[Re(triphos)(CN)(3)](4)[Mn(CH(3)CN)](4)}(ClO(4))(4) (2) and {[Re(triphos)(CN)(3)](4)[Mn(ClO(4))](3)[Mn(CH(3)OH)(CH(3)O)]} (3), were prepared by reacting [Et(4)N][Re(triphos)(CN)(3)] (1) with Mn(ClO(4))(2)·6H(2)O. Reaction of sodium dicyanamide, NaN(CN)(2), with compound 2 in CH(2)Cl(2) results in th...

A terrified woman called police because her ex-boyfriend was breaking into her home. Upon arrival, police heard screams coming from the basement. They stopped halfway down the stairs and found the ex-boyfriend pointing a rifle at the floor. Officers observed a strange look on the subject’s face as he slowly raised the rifle in their direction. Both officers fired their weapons, killing the susp...

The scope of a site investigation, with an aim to accurately estimate the response of a foundation design, typically involves using the results of several geotechnical tests, located at various locations around a site. However, many of the traditional settlement relationships only use a single set of soil properties, generally varying with depth, to obtain a settlement estimate of a loaded area...

We obtain several sharp lower and upper bounds for the Euclidean operator radius of a pair bounded linear operators defined on complex Hilbert space. As applications these we deduce chain new classical numerical which improve existing ones. In particular, prove that A, $$\frac{1}{4} \Vert A^*A+AA^*\Vert +\frac{\mu }{2}\max \{\Vert \Re (A)\Vert ,\Vert \Im \} \le w^2(A) \, w^2( |\Re (A)| +i |\Im ...

OBJECTIVE The characteristics and causes of re-sweating after sympathetic surgery in hyperhidrosis patients have yet to be clearly documented due primarily to low incidence of re-sympathetic surgery. The purpose of this study is to identify the causes of re-sweating following sympathetic surgery, and to assess the outcomes of re-sympathetic surgery. METHODS From February 1997 to July 2003, 36...
