At electrophysiologic study in a patient with the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, intracardiac catheter recordings demonstrated a deflection that occurred 30 ms before ventricular activation. The rapid deflection was present during ventricular preexcitation but not during normal atrioventricular conduction. All QRS complexes were preexcited to varying degrees during atrial fibrillation, yet the...

reinforced concrete (rc) slabs exhibit complexities in their structural behavior under load due to the composite nature of the material and the multitude and variety of factors that affect such behavior. current methods for determining the load-deflection behavior of reinforced concrete slabs are limited in scope and are mostly dependable on the results of experimental tests. in this study, an ...
