BACKGROUND The major objective of the present study is to investigate the differences in the load and strain changes in the intertrochanteric region of human cadaveric femora between the loss of medial or lateral wall and after treatment with proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA). METHODS After measuring the geometry of the proximal femur region and modeling the medial or lateral wall def...

Population genetic studies suggest that most amino-acid changing mutations are deleterious. Such mutations are of tremendous interest in human population genetics as they are important for the evolutionary process and may contribute risk to common disease. Genomic studies over the past 5 years have documented differences across populations in the number of heterozygous deleterious genotypes, nu...

The generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method is used to obtain the computational results of two-layer cross-ply laminated shell under rapid uniform heat induced vibration. In the thermally insulated vibration analyses of a laminated shell, the sudden uniform heat input over its lower surface only and temperature load is linear of axial coordinate. The GDQ method provides a method for ca...

When mutations have small effects on fitness, population size plays an important role in determining the amount and nature of deleterious genetic variation. The extent to which recent population size changes have impacted deleterious variation in humans has been a question of considerable interest and debate. An emerging consensus is that the Out-of-Africa bottleneck and subsequent growth event...

the effect of microbial load on the condition index of the edible oyster, saccostrea cucullata were analysed on monthly basis during 2010 and 2011 from the three different stations (namkhana, frasergaunge and sajnekhali) of indian sundarbans. the results showed significant variation with respect to microbial load between stations and seasons, which is reflected in the tissue of edible oyster. s...

This paper describes the testing of Profiled Steel Sheet Dry Board (PSSDB) load bearing wall system. Experimental tests were conducted on various PSSDB wall samples, with and without infill materials to study its effect on the PSSDB load bearing wall performance. A proprietary profiled steel sheet, Ajiya Cliplock (0.48 mm thick) attached to Cemboard (10 mm thick) on one side, and Cemplank (10 m...

It is known that arteries experience significant axial stretches in vivo. Several authors have shown that the axial force needed to maintain an artery at its in vivo axial stretch does not change with transient cyclical pressurization over normal ranges. However, the axial force phenomenon of arteries has never been explained with microstructural considerations. In this paper we propose a simpl...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the stiffness characteristics of Taylor Spatial Frame (TSF) fixed with transverse wires and half pins. DESIGN & METHODS Experiments were carried out at the biomechanics laboratory at Cardiff University. All mechanical testing was performed with a servo hydraulic test frame (MTS 858 Mini Bionix II(R), MTS Corp., Mineapolis, USA). Custom built mou...

determination of volume change of unsaturated soils during loading and suction change is one of the most important difficulties in testing unsaturated specimens. it is revealed from literature review that various attempts have been made to invent an apparatus that can be used in testing on unsaturated soil specimens, simply and accurately. in this research, details of design and manufacture of ...

Bu çalışmada, makine öğrenme teknikleri kullanılarak içi beton dolu dairesel kesitli çelik boruların (BDÇK) basınç altındaki nihai eksenel yük kapasiteleri tahmin edilmiştir. BDÇK kolonlar hem yükler, de yatay yükler performanslarından dolayı yapılarda çok tercih edilmektedirler. Bunun başlıca nedeni betonun ve çeliğin süneklilik rijitlik özelliklerinden kaynaklanmaktadır. Özellikle deprem etki...
