Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-reinforced concrete (RC) elements fail under one-way shear in a devastating and complicated manner with no adequate warning. In recent decades, there has been pioneering research this area; however, is agreement among researchers regarding mechanically-based models. Thus, current study, plasticity-based model developed for FRP-RC shear. A selected was firstly asse...

l-tyrosine, b6 and folic acid are involved in biosynthesis of dopa and consequently dopamine. the aim of this study was to investigate the antiparkinsonian effect of these agents in perphenazine-induced catatonia in rats. murprogo method or scored muscular rigidity, which is induced by a phenothiazine, was used to evaluate the antiparkinsonian effect of these agents. a significant decrease in m...

Torsion is an important testing modality commonly used to calculate structural properties of long bones. However, the effects of size and geometry must be excluded from the overall structural response in order to compare material properties of bones of different size, age and species. We have developed a new method to analyze torsional properties of bones using actual cross-sectional informatio...

Abstract. The Ross Ice Shelf (RIS) is currently stable but recent observations have indicated that basal melt rates beneath the ice shelf are expected to increase. It important know which areas of RIS more sensitive enhanced melting as well other external forcings or internal material properties understand how climate change will influence mass balance. In this paper, we use automatic different...

We develop a continuum theory for equilibrium elasticity of a network of crosslinked semiflexible filaments, spanning the full range between flexible entropy-driven chains to stiff athermal rods. We choose the 3-chain constitutive model of network elasticity over several plausible candidates, and derive analytical expressions for the elastic energy at arbitrary strain, with the corresponding st...

The elasticity and viscosity of the human erythrocyte membrane were measured as a function of the concentration of wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) in a suspending solution containing 1 mg/ml albumin, approximately 5 X 10(5) cells/ml and between 0.0 and 0.2 microgram/ml WGA. Membrane elasticity was characterized by the elastic shear modulus, which provided a measure of the resistance of the membrane...
