concrete bridge deck damage detection by measurement and monitoring variables related to vibration signatures is one of the main tasks of any bridge health monitoring system (bhms). generally damage puts some detectable/discoverable signs in the parameters of bridge vibration behavior. however, differences between frequency and mode shape before and after damage are not remarkable as vibration ...

Current climate change is confronting farms with extreme conditions, severe drought for a good part of the year and flooding rains month. The changes taking place on our planet make it necessary farmers to understand assess how they can counteract damage by adopting sustainable strategies cope future. This makes environmental, economic social sustainability more relevant than ever in production...

T he spondyloarthritis (SpA) complex includes ankylosing spondylitis (AS), reactive arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, arthritis related to inflammatory bowel disease and forms that do not meet established criteria for these definite categories which are designated as undifferentiated SpA. In the early 1990s, two sets of classification criteria were suggested with the purpose to cover the whole cl...

Pragmatic assessment and consistency in rating are among the subject matters which are still in need of more profound investigations. The importance of the issue is highlighted when remembering that inconsistency in ratings would surely damage the test fairness issue in assessment and lead to much diversity in ratings. Our principal concern in this study was observing the criteria that American...

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the context of new aspects of cellular adaptation in physical activity with a focus on delayed pain approach, the nature and types of pain, several preventive and non-pharmacological approaches to delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and to achieve a desirable conclusion and provide more relevant information from previous research. In this stu...

PURPOSE To better understand the relationship between the amplitude of the pattern electroretinogram (PERG) and visual loss, measured with static automated perimetry. METHODS Transient PERGs were recorded in 15 patients (31-77 years) and 16 normal individuals (26-65 years). An eye was considered to have glaucomatous damage only if there was an abnormal disc, an abnormal 24-2 Humphrey visual f...
