This paper presents a theoretical model based on Biot theory to investigate the sound transmission loss (STL) of pyramidal lattice sandwich structure lined with porous material. is more accurate than equivalent methods and suitable for use in different complex filling configurations. Several patterns boundary conditions are studied, their governing equations derived by presenting exact displace...

Abstract We present the STLmc model checker for signal temporal logic (STL) properties of hybrid systems. The tool can perform STL checking up to a robustness threshold wide range Our utilizes refutation-complete SMT-based bounded algorithm by reducing robust problem into Boolean checking. If does not find counterexample, system is guaranteed be correct given bounds and threshold. demonstrate e...

This brief presents the implementation and experimental results of two frameworks for multi-agent systems under temporal logic tasks, which we have recently proposed. Each agent is subject to either a local linear (LTL) or signal (STL) task where each may further be coupled, i.e., satisfaction depend on more than one agent. The agents are represented by mobile robots with different sensing actu...

Twenty-four Swiss Large White barrows from six litters were given either ad libitum (A) or restrictive (R) access to a grower diet from 21 to 60 kg body weight (BW). At d 113 of age six pigs of the A(BW = 62 kg) and six siblings of the R-group (BW = 51 kg) were slaughtered. The remaining 12 barrows were fed a finisher diet from 60 kg BW until slaughter. The day of slaughter barrows were 154 d o...

introduction: excessive temperature rise during drilling of the mandible for dental implant placement might damage adjacent osseous tissues. various factors affect temperature rise, including the geometrical parameters of surgical drills, one of which is the drill bit head angle. the aim of this research was to determine suitable drill bit head angle to induce minimum temperature rise during ma...

Purpose Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is a structural interventional cardiology procedure that offers several possibilities for the application of additive manufacturing technologies. The literature shows growing interest in use 3D-printed models LAAO planning and device choice. This study aims to describe full workflow create LAA model planning. Design/methodology/approach starts with...

Model measurements and analysis are essential for the diagnosis of orthodontic cases in last decade has increased with technological advances, leaving aside traditional diagnostic methods, such as model analysis, especially when it comes to cross-sectional analysis. The present study seeks propose clinician a simple option transversal problem, through CBCT. To support this proposal, data was co...

The core losses prediction in laminated magnetic circuits has generated relentless scientific research efforts. In this domain, the almost forty years old Statistical Theory of Losses (STL) is still prevailing. Modern electrical energy conversion exposes to higher frequencies and larger excitation fields. STL, which requires a full flux penetration, poorly considered these intense stimuli. Rece...

STL polyomavirus (STLPyV) was recently identified in human specimens. To determine seropositivity for STLPyV, we developed an ELISA and screened patient samples from 2 US cities (Denver, Colorado [500]; St. Louis, Missouri [419]). Overall seropositivity was 68%-70%. The age-stratified data suggest that STLPyV infection is widespread and commonly acquired during childhood.
