The response of a poroelastic ice cover to an external load is considered. modeled by thin floating plate within the linear theory hydroelasticity. porosity parameter defined as coefficient proportionality velocity liquid penetration into and hydrodynamic pressure. fluid under inviscid incompressible. flow caused deflection potential. localized smooth two-dimensional problem waves periodic pres...

A few epidemiologic studies have shown an increased risk of death from external causes among men with hypertension. Previous studies were limited by small numbers of events, however, and none assessed the association of blood pressure with specific types of ‘‘accidental’’ death. The authors examined data obtained from baseline interviews and 25 years of mortality follow-up (1973 1999) for 347,9...

A significant numbers of ‘mad cow’ disease outbreaks around the globe as well as the recent food safety concerns in Japan, Europe, and Korea increase the necessity of a lifetime traceable information system of animals. Ideally, this system would generate a lifetime history of the potentially affected animals and simultaneously allow unaffected livestock owners to continue to trade. Therefore, a...
