The current research is dedicated to studying the flexural behavior of composite box beams with corroded bottom flanges. Six simply supported beam specimens were manufactured and tested. fabricated steel 1100mm, 100mm, 100mm for length, width, height, respectively, while concrete deck slabs made dimensions 400mm, 50mm thickness, respectively. sections formed by connecting RC using a headed shea...

the aim of this study was to examine physiological load imposed on iranian elite soccer referees during actual match play in the 2007-2008 season. ten male elite soccer referees (age: 36.23±2.24 years, height: 180.1±4.48 cm, body mass: 78.18±8.4 kg, fat mass: 19.38±3.3 percent bmi: 23.98±1.53 kg.m-2) participated in the study. heart rate data were collected during match using the suunto t6 devi...

BACKGROUND A stable assessment of cognition is of paramount importance for forensic psychiatric patients (FPP). The purpose of this study was to compare repeated measures of IQ scores in FPPs with and without intellectual disability. METHODS Repeated measurements of IQ scores in FPPs (n = 176) were collected. Differences between tests were computed, and each IQ score was categorized. Addition...

OBJECTIVES To assess the reliability of intradiscal pressure measurement during in vitro biomechanical testing. In particular, the variability of measurements will be assessed for repeated measures by considering the effect of specimens and of freezing/thawing cycles. METHODS Thirty-six functional units from 8 porcine spines (S1: T7-T8, S2: T9-T10, S3: T12-T11, S4: T14-T13, S5: L1-L2 and S6: ...

We have modified zirconia-toughened alumina anvil geometry and systematically varied single-toroidal, encapsulated, Ti–Zr gasket dimensions, exploring the resulting effects on pressure maximum load performance, which been measured using a Paris–Edinburgh press. Reducing curvature depth of recess at rear appears to permit repeated use anvils higher loads, general trend indicates that thinner gas...

The writing can be improved by removing some redundancy though. For example, the findings of the paper are repeated (almost verbatim) four times just in the first two pages of the paper. I wouldn’t mind repeating as long as there are new points to be made, or a different perspective is provided, but this is not the case. Or, Section 2.1 defines what firewalls, IDS devices, and load balancers do...

The phytoremediation role of aquatic plants in situ is extremely important today when, due to repeated droughts and periodical shrinkage surface water resources, the load biogenic toxic substances these waters increasing dramatically. aim study was assess bioaccumulation heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mn Zn) by Groenlandia densa reintroduced area its historical occurrence habitat rivers characte...
