In mode II interlaminar fracture toughness tests of composite laminates, the evaluated based on linear elastic mechanics deviates from true due to material nonlinearity matrix. this study, an elastoplastic finite-element analysis was performed a new quasi-static test, i.e., doubly end-notched tension (DENT) investigate difference between perceived energy release rate and J-integral. The effect ...

The amino-acid taurine has been shown to be a normal urinary constituent (Dent, 1948). Employing a quantitative chromatographic technique a diminished taurine excretion in cystinuria (Stein, 1951) and in Wilson's disease (Stein, Bearn, and Moore. 1954) has been detected. An increased taurine excretion. on the other hand, has been used as a sensitive index of minor liver damage in infectious hep...

BRaliBase is a widely used benchmark for assessing the accuracy of RNA secondary structure alignment methods. In most case studies based on the BRaliBase benchmark, one can observe a puzzling drop in accuracy in the 40-60% sequence identity range, the so-called 'BRaliBase Dent'. In this article, we show this dent is owing to a bias in the composition of the BRaliBase benchmark, namely the inclu...

We provide a tight security proof for an IND-CCA RingLWE based Key Encapsulation Mechanism that is derived from a generic construction of Dent (IMA Cryptography and Coding, 2003). Such a tight reduction is not known for the generic construction. The resulting scheme has shorter ciphertexts than can be achieved with other generic constructions of Dent or by using the well-known Fujisaki-Okamoto ...

Although genetic control of crown diameters has been documented by a number of workers (R. H. OSBORNE ET AL, Amer J Hum Genet 10: 350-356, 1958; S. M. GARN ET AL, J Dent Res 44:228-242, 1965; D. W. LEWIS and R. M. GRAINGER, Arch Oral Biol 12:539-544, 1967; and D. H. GOOSE, J Dent Res 46:959-962, 1967), genetic involvement in crown-size patterning has not been ascertained for the whole dentition...

T w o run-o f f s were necessary to get a satisfactory ballot this week in the election for the President of the Senior Class. The first ballot was taken on Monday but w a s not counted after it was discovered; by officers of the S t u dent Association that i l legal practices w e r e committed around the polls.

Most large fire departments that participated in this study expressed confi­ dence in their ability to respond to typical hazardous materials (hazmat) events, such as hazardous cargo spills from trucks involved in highway accidents. In contrast, these same departments were greatly concerned about their ability to respond to large or multiple acts of terrorism. For instance, terrorism response c...
