BACKGROUND Atrophic gastritis can be classified according to characteristic mucosal patterns observed by Blue LASER Imaging (BLI) in a medium-range to distant view. AIMS To facilitate the endoscopic diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori (HP)-related gastritis, we investigated whether atrophic mucosal patterns correlated with HP infection based on the image interpretations of three endoscopists bli...

DRDC Valcartier is actively working on the assessment of the extent of energetic materials contamination on Canadian DND training ranges. This work is carried out with the objective of creating sustainable training conditions for the Canadian Forces. As part of this effort, research is being undertaken to study, in laboratory conditions, the leaching of explosives from cracked or opened munitio...

Zeolite coated quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) is proposed as an efficient sensor for the detection of ethanol at room temperature. In this work, three zeolites DaY, ZSM-5, and BEA were investigated in order to determine most adsorbent sensing The performances found be mostly influenced by acid site density zeolite's pore size. QCM exhibited best with a high relative frequency shift from 9.0 ...

If you have an Andrew account, there’s a one in three chance you did. ‘It’ is an e-mail with the subject, “Andrew account password insecure!” that claims your password has been cracked. The message goes on to say that in addition to the risks they pose to personal account security, slipshod passwords are a potent...

Elastic liners are used for in situ repair and retrofitting of pipes as a cost effective alternative to the replacement of damaged parts and sections. In this paper, we studied the role of an elastic liner on the buckling behavior of a cracked cylindrical shell using finite element method. A special meshing scheme that could mimic the stress singularity at the crack tip was employed to model th...

A study of the mechanisms of cracking-induced mistuning in bladed disks is presented in this paper. An analytical model for a bladed disk was formulated using lumped-mass-beams, and a cracked blade was represented by a beam with a through-crack at the root. Local stiffness reduction due to cracking was incorporated using a flexibility matrix method. The dynamic characteristics of the bladed dis...
