Hot forging is a common manufacturing process for the production of large quantities of engineering components. Residual stresses are developed in forged components as a result of various aspects of the manufacturing process, including subsequent cooling, and heat treatment. Residual stresses can significantly affect the deformation and fatigue failure of materials. Hot forged EN15R steel bars ...

We model the household disposable income distribution in Lithuania and explore drivers of increase inequality between 2007 2015. quantify contributions four factors to changes distribution: (i) demographics; (ii) labor market structure; (iii) returns prices; (iv) tax–benefit system. Results show that effects were substantial reflected heterogeneous developments over two subperiods: tax benefit ...

Almost all of electric utility companies are planning to improve their management automation system, in order to meet the changing requirements of new liberalized energy market and to benefit from the innovations in information and communication technology (ICT or IT). Architectural design of the utility management automation (UMA) systems for their IT-enabling requires proper selection of ...

development of tourism activities motivated tourist attractions often subject to diverse natural, cultural, and historical. leading countries in terms of tourism or natural landscapes such as lakes, sunny beaches and high mountain snow, or the old historical terms or in terms of its other elements and create some artificial gravity and create the organizational structure and provide broad conte...

Background and Purpose—The SAINT I trial demonstrated that the neuroprotective agent NXY-059 improves the distribution of acute stroke patient outcomes on the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) of global disability. Standard dichotomized number-needed-to-treat (NNT) analyses for the magnitude of treatment benefit range widely, from 22.7 to infinity, and each capture only a portion of the observed bene...

Pangaea is a system that can distribute centralized Java programs, based on static source code analysis and using arbitrary distribution platforms, such as RMI or CORBA, as a backend. Pangaea takes the idea of distribution transparency one logical step further: both the decision for an appropriate distribution strategy for a program, and the realization of that strategy on a particular distribu...
