Roads and highways are used by different vehicle types, the heavy vehicles among them can be considered most critical in loading, which causes failure pavement structure increases rehabilitation maintenance costs. In this study, composite effects for wheel loads temperature were finite element analysis using Abaqus 6.14. The asphalt layer was modeled as an elastic material, while base subbase l...

We evaluated the effect of combination anti-retroviral treatment (cART) on the host control of EBV infection in moderately immunosuppressed HIV-1 patients. Twenty HIV-1 infected individuals were followed for five years with repeated measurements of EBV DNA load in peripheral blood lymphocytes in relation to HIV-RNA titers and CD4+ cell counts. Individuals with optimal response, i.e. durable non...

This paper reports the experimental investigation conducted on unwrapped and latex wrapped cold-formed steel column. Various column cross-sections are subjected to repeated lateral loading till failure. All columns were observed fail in local buckling. The cross-section dimension, provision of interior exterior lip, wrapping influenced load Increasing web length a section from 100 200 mm increa...

BACKGROUND Recent papers have suggested that expanded combination antiretroviral treatment (cART) through lower viral load may be a strategy to reduce HIV transmission at a population level. We assessed calendar trends in detectable viral load in patients recruited to the Australian HIV Observational Database who were receiving cART. METHODS Patients were included in analyses if they had star...

The robot is a repeated task plant. The control of such a plant under parameter variations and load disturbances is one of the important problems. The aim of this work is to design Geno-Fuzzy controller suitable for online applications to control single link rigid robot arm plant. The genetic-fuzzy online controller (indirect controller) has two genetic-fuzzy blocks, the first as controller, th...

In this study, the crack distribution and electromagnetic shielding characteristics of UHPFRCC before after cracking were evaluated according to fiber combinations. After evaluating mechanical electrical properties each combination, an test a non-cracked panel specimen was conducted. Subsequently, subjected monotonic load or repeated load. case with repetitive load, length, area, measured at st...

The brain controls both the physiologic and the behavioral coping responses to daily events as well as major stressors, and the nervous system is itself a target of the mediators of those responses through circulating hormones. The amygdala and hippocampus interpret what is stressful and regulate appropriate responses. The amygdala becomes hyperactive in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and...

Railway concrete sleepers have been developed and utilized in railway industry for over 50 years. Cyclic loading because of vibration on sleepers due to the train loading and the velocity of train itself and also a small percentage of bad wheels, can eventually lead to a crack network and failure of component. The objective of this study is to investigate the load carrying capacity of the selec...
