Reinforced steel is one of the most important building materials in civil engineering and improving intelligence reinforcement can greatly promote intelligent development construction industry. This research addressed problems slow speed poor accuracy manually extracting rebar processing information, which leads to a low degree intelligence. Firstly, based on digital image technology, preproces...

Clad rebars of four different base materials (20MnSiV, 35# steel, 45# and 55# steel) were successfully produced by a vacuum hot rolling process. A metallographic optical microscope (OM), electron backscatter diffractometer (EBSD), probe micro-analyzer (EPMA), salt spray corrosion chamber used to investigate the clad contour, properties, composite interface microstructure all rebars. The results...

We analysed the length distributions of different types of beta-strand in a high resolution, non-homologous set of 500 protein structures, finding differences in their mean lengths. Antiparallel edge strands in strand-turn-strand motifs show a preference for an even number of residues. This propensity is enhanced if the length is corrected for beta-bulges, which insert an extra residue into the...

Bonded lingual retainers are becoming more popular to stabilize the results of orthodontic treatment. The in vitro shear strength of a flexible spiral wire (FSW) retainer (Zachrisson, 1977, 1983) bonded with Prisma Fil was compared to the 'A'-Company bonded lingual retainer system, bonded with either Concise or Right-On, to human enamel. Statistical analysis of the results showed no significant...

introduction: one of the clinical problems in orthodontics is the bonding of brackets tocomposite restorations. the aim of this study was to evaluate the shear bondstrength of brackets bonded to composite restorations using excite. methods:forty brackets were bonded to composite surfaces, which were embedded inacrylic resin. one of the following four protocols was employed for surfacepreparatio...

Bonded labor, which is characterized by a long-term relationship between employer and employee, is usually solidified through a loan, and is embedded intricately in India’s socio-economic culture—a culture that is a product of class relations, a colonial history, and persistent poverty among many citizens. Also known as debt bondage, bonded labor is a specific form of forced labor in which comp...
