A method of assessing equivalent static wind loads that can represent all the real ultimate states a high-rise building and towering structure has still not been fully determined in engineering. Based on random vibration theory, wind-induced response loading buildings structures are investigated using decomposition method. Firstly, structural mean response, background resonant coupled studied t...

background: to determine if the glidescope® videolaryngoscope (gvl) could attenuate the hemodynamic responses to orotracheal intubation compared with conventional macintosh laryngoscope. objectives: the aim of this relatively large randomized trial was to compare the hemodynamic stress responses during laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation using gvl versus mcl amongst healthy adult individuals r...

A balance printout is a fixed record, and also called static data. But how are data when the weight used in chromatographic analysis? Also, have some regulatory integrity guidance documents failed to comply with their own regulations?

In this paper static and dynamic responses of a fixed-fixed microbeam to electrostatic force and mechanical shock for different cases have been studied. The governing equations whose solution holds the answer to all our questions about the mechanical behavior is the nonlinear elasto-electrostatic equations. Due to the nonlinearity and complexity of the derived equations analytical solution are ...

OBJECTIVE Patients with schizophrenia have an impaired ability to respond to faces and may specifically show an impaired response to dynamic facial expressions. Here we investigated the responses of schizophrenic patients and healthy controls to dynamic facial images using event-related potentials (ERPs). METHODS We showed 13 schizophrenic patients and 13 healthy controls visual stimuli compr...

We introduce the class of anti-coordination games, including the hawk-dove game as a special case. A symmetric two-player game is said to have the anti-coordination property if any worst response to a mixed strategy is in the support of that mixed strategy. Every anti-coordination game has a unique interior Nash equilibrium. We investigate stability of the static equilibrium under several dynam...

We determined the effects of static and dynamic muscle contraction at equivalent workloads on central aortic pressure and wave reflection. At random, 14 healthy men and women (23 +/- 5 yr of age) performed a static handgrip forearm contraction [90 s at 30% of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC)], dynamic handgrip contractions (1 contraction/s for 180 s at 30% MVC), and a control trial. During s...

Bridge management officials have expressed a keen interest in the use of low-cost and easy-to-install wireless sensors to record bridge responses during short-term load testing. To illustrate the suitability of wireless sensors for short-term monitoring of highway bridges, a wireless monitoring system is installed upon the Grove Street Bridge to monitor structural responses during static and dy...

In natural behavioral situations, saccadic eye movements not only introduce new stimuli into V1 receptive fields, they also cause changes in the background. We recorded in awake macaque V1 using a fixation paradigm and compared evoked activity to small stimuli when the background was either static or changing as with a saccade. When a stimulus was shown on a static background, as in most previo...
