This paper is the result of research and contemplation on the actual usefulness of topology-based methods in real-world applications. We recapitulate commonly used arguments in favor of topology-based approaches first to realign our expectations with respect to the utilization of topology extraction in the context of concrete applications. To illustrate some of our considerations, we take a clo...

The fate is described of 11 patients who had a stored pulmonary valve homograft mounted on a frame or in a Dacron jacket used for mitral valve replacement. Mitral regurgitation due to holes in the attenuated cusps occurred in nine by one year, requiring re-operation or causing death. Only one patient remains well with moderate mitral regurgitation after two years. Since January 1967, 118 patien...

Abstract Rehabilitation, upgrading, or strengthening of structural members, especially columns, has become the target many researchers because columns are most important members in a building and failure causes direct collapse building. This study aims to get an assessment best pattern steel-framed jacket used for axially loaded concrete by numerically studying behavior column different cases s...

In this paper prediction of the fatigue reliability of a fixed jacket offshore wind turbine designed for a North Sea site in a water depth of 70 m is performed. The longterm statistical distribution of stress ranges of tubular joints is obtained by combination of time domain simulation for representative sea states. The load histories are normalised to ensure that fatigue design criteria based ...

This paper presents the propagation of dual-band diamond dipole antenna on three various jackets. The jackets are purely fleece fabric with Shieldit patches top it. network analyzers flexible lossless coaxial cable used to measure communication antennas. experiment involves a man ideal body mass index (BMI) wearing by placing antennas It is observed that best on-body engineered jacket. 10 dB im...
