In this joint work, a complete framework for modeling, simulating and visualizing multiphase fluid flow within an extraction column is presented. We first present a volume-of-fluid simulation, which is able to predict the surface of the droplets during coalescence. However, a fast and efficient model is needed for the simulation of a liquid-liquid extraction column due to the high number of occ...

In this work, we propose a novel extension of pseudo 2D image warping (P2DW) which allows for joint alignment and recognition of non-rectified face images. P2DW allows for optimal displacement inference in a simplified setting, but cannot cope with stronger deformations since it is restricted to column-to-column mapping. We propose to implement additional flexibility in P2DW by allowing deviati...

A 22-year-old male European brown bear (Ursus arctos arctos) was presented to the Onderstepoort Veterinary Academic Hospital after an acute onset of hind limb paralysis 4 days earlier. Previous radiographs revealed marked degenerative joint disease of the stifles, tarsi and digits. The clinical findings were consistent with acute disc prolapse. Lateral radiographs of the entire vertebral column...

fracture mapping of late permian-early triassic flat-lying sedimentary rocks in the sydney basin,new south wales, australia, shows that joints developed originally in extension were faulted in subsequentevents. joints with a regional distribution fall into two (early and late) formed groups. group i joints propagatedhorizontally and never interfered with each other. these joints were subsequent...

The principal objective for this work was to extend the field of application FEM space frame beam-column connections under static loading and with lateral displacements. A four-storey building modelled load condition. Horizontal vertical structural elements were designed according Eurocode 2. In order understand behavior external node made by column, two beam upper models using correct boundary...

This paper presents the effect of experimentally evaluated nonlinearities in a machine joint on the overall machine tool dynamic performance using frequency response functions and stability lobe diagrams. Typical machine joints are very stiff and have weak nonlinearities. The experimental evaluation of the nonlinear joint parameters of a commercial translational guide has been discussed in Dhup...

This study presents a novel energy-dissipating prefabricated joint for connecting beam to column in precast frame structure. The joints are characterized by replaceable steel hinge and tube confined core, providing advantages concrete reinforced frames, such as complete assembly, damage control, maintainability of the structure after an earthquake. hysteretic behavior proposed was studied throu...

missioners approved a final set of standardized performance measures for the Disease-Specific Care Comprehensive Stroke Center (CSC) advanced certification program. The comprehensive stroke (CSTK) measures are designed to evaluate the management of both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke patients in hospitals equipped with the clinical expertise, infrastructure, and specialized neurointerventional...

The craniovertebral junction (CVJ) consists of the occiput and the first two cervical vertebrae, and functions as an articulation point capable of complex motions distinct from the remainder of the spinal column. These unique features make the CVJ more mobile than any of the other joints in the cervical spinal column, and important biomechanical properties must be understood in order to properl...

The most critical failure regions are the joints between beams and columns. Under dynamic loads, bonding of rebars in concrete will be severely stressed fail. In addition to damaging column loading paths, collapse joint point may also affect structure's overall ductility capacity dissipate energy. This study examined relationship natural fiber beam-column by adding 0.5% 1.5% with an increment 0...
