In the current paper, different methods of repairing a pre-cracked reinforced concrete beam (RCB) were reviewed and described briefly. Afterward, near-surface mounted (NSM) technique was used to simulate reinforcement RCB using carbon fiber polymer (CFRP) laminated layer. To do this end, Firstly, based on previous experimental analytical studies limitations dimensions specified, then Minitab so...

The fifth-order accurate Weighted Essentially Nonoscillatory space discretization developed by Jiang and Shu (WENO-JS) is studied theoretically. An exact Nonlinear Spectral Method (NSM) based on an innovative yet simple methodology. NSM explains the behaviour of nonsmooth solutions because it valid for arbitrary modified wave numbers (MWN). clarifies effects time integration methods Courant num...

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) material is currently being produced in different configurations and widely used to strengthen and retrofit concrete structures and bridges. It is also possible to apply other strengthening methods without changing the appearance or the dimensions of the structure. Near Surface Mounted (NSM) is a recent strengthening method using CFRP bars (rods or laminate strips...

Mulberry vein banding associated virus (MVBaV) that infects mulberry plants with typical vein banding symptoms had been identified as a tentative species of the genus Tospovirus based on the homology of N gene sequence to those of tospoviruses. In this study, the complete sequence of the tripartite RNA genome of MVBaV was determined and analyzed. The L RNA has 8905 nucleotides (nt) and encodes ...

BACKGROUND Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) is gaining popularity due to its superior aesthetic results. When reconstructing the breast with free abdominal tissue transfer, we must readdress the recipient vessel, because NSM can cause difficulty in access to the chest vessel. METHODS Between June 2006 and March 2011, a total of 92 women underwent NSM with free abdominal tissue transfer. A late...

Binary neutron stars merger (NSM) at cosmological distances is probably the only γ-ray bursts model based on an independently observed phenomenon which is known to be taking place at a comparable rate. We describe this model, its predictions and some open questions. Cosmological γ-Ray Bursts and Fireballs Compton-GRO has demonstrated, quite convincingly, that γ-ray bursts (grbs) originate from ...
