In recent years, numerous research works have been reported on the flexural response of aluminium alloy tubular cross-sections. However, studies monosymmetric cross-sections and particularly channel (C-) sections are limited, albeit their increased usage in structural applications. This paper aims to address this knowledge gap providing an improved understanding about minor axis bending behavio...

Abstract We analyzed the minor-axis spectra of elliptical planetary nebula (PN) NGC 7009 observed with Keck HIRES a 0.″862 × 10″ slit placed at about 7.″5 and away from center 14″ center. The mean densities derived integrated [S ii ] 6716/6731 Å fluxes along length indicate density range 10 3.7 –10 4.1 cm −3 , while local spectral images show large variation 2.8 4.6 : vary more substantially th...

This study was designed to investigate the changes in dimensions of the left ventricular minor axis that occur during the pre-ejection period of systole. Three groups of subjects were studied: 29 normal subjects (group 1); 16 patients with mitral regurgitation and 2 patients with ventricular septal defect (group 2); 11 patients with left ventricular volume overload (excluding those with mitral ...

A small placental surface area at birth is associated with an increased risk of hypertension in the offspring in later life. Preeclampsia is associated with impaired implantation and with increased blood pressure in the offspring. We hypothesized that preeclampsia would be associated with a small placental surface area. We studied placental size in 6410 deliveries at the Helsinki University Cen...

NGC 3628 is a well-studied starburst/low level AGN galaxy in the Leo Triplet noted for its extensive outgassed plumes of neutral hydrogen. QSOs are shown to be concentrated around NGC 3628 and aligned with the HI plumes. The closest high redshift quasar has z=2.15 and is at the tip of an X–ray filament emerging along the minor axis HI plume. Location at this point has an accidental probability ...

same variables in corresponding patients. The echo-measured left ventricular enddiastolic chamber dimension (Dd) correlated closely with the angiographic minor axis in the AP plane (correlation coefficient 0.87 and SE -+-0.45 cm) and with the minor axis from the lateral film (r 0.91, SE +0.39 cm). Similar correlations were found between measurements by these methods of wall thickness (r = 0.89,...
