A new type of isolation bearing with advantages low carbon, cost and light weight is designed for rural buildings by using reinforced recombined bamboo board instead steel plates. First, the compression shear static load test composite carried out. The results show that: When pure pressure 20 MPa, through cracks begin to appear along grain direction board; capacity 5 MPa 3 there are a few in tr...

the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of outside board on rm value in tehran stock exchange (tse) from the perspective of information transaction costs. to do so, a sample of 96 firms listed in tse is selected to be studied during the period of 2003-2012. tobin q ratio is used to measure rm's value and bid-ask spread for information transaction costs. in addition to these v...

package design is an important factor in product manufacturing that must be performed based on customer requirements. this paper introduces cardboard approach using raw materials according to standards and also effective requirements so, using materials based on specific standards will play important role. the materials and its production process used for packaging manufacturers to supply produ...

the ability of boards to perform their roles depends largely on their composition. board composition refers to the number of directors and type of members as determined by the usual insider or outsider classification. several empirical studies in other country have concluded that board composition determines a board’s power as an instrument of corporate control and contributes to company perfor...

The design of a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), which is an extremely important device for firefighting on board of ships, covers not only in-service loadings, but also a proper selection of materials, manufacturing processes, as well as the specification of other construction details, such as hydrostatic test parameters, among others. The work developed and presented in this manuscr...

INTRODUCTION Optimal ventilator management for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains uncertain. Lower tidal volume ventilation appears to be beneficial, but optimal management of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) remains unclear. The Esophageal Pressure-Guided Ventilation 2 Trial (EPVent2) aims to examine the impact of mechanical ventilation directed at maintain...

BACKGROUND The value of American Board of Internal Medicine certification has been questioned. We evaluated the Association of Interventional Cardiology certification with in-hospital outcomes of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in 2010. METHODS AND RESULTS We identified physicians who performed ≥10 PCIs in 2010 in the CathPCI Registry and determined interventional...
