As large span steel bridges develop rapidly, the type of deck paving is also diversifying. However, current layer a dense-graded mixture both upper and lower layers. This makes it difficult for water to drain out dense when enters interior deck, easily damaged by traffic load. paper aims prolong service life pavement solve problem that prone damage under existing system. In this paper, new brid...

We present a complete Raman spectroscopic study in two structurally well-defined diradical species of different lengths incorporating oligo p-phenylene vinylene bridges between two polychlorinated triphenylmethyl radical units, a disposition that allows sizeable conjugation between the two radicals through and with the bridge. The spectroscopic data are interpreted and supported by quantum chem...

In this paper, the academic wireless monitoring system with smart sensing units developed at Stanford University and Michigan University is applied for the ambient vibration study of a steel arch bridge in Xiamen, China. Ambient acceleration responses of the bridge measured by the wireless sensing units are compared with those collected by a traditional wire-based data acquisition system. Clock...

into a short “handle”. This was a full-thickness skin bridge at the pivot point where the proximal flap was rotated 180 degrees downward towards the recipient site. The bridge acted to offer cutaneous and subcutaneous continuity and maintained an intact subdermal plexus to serve as additional channel for venous drainage [2]. After the flap was transposed to the knee, a vein graft was utilised t...

Dealing with the wicked problem of global food waste and loss is a complex challenging area. In Australia, increased political will has landed diversion domestic from landfill squarely at feet local government (councils), often requiring significant change to kerbside collections systems. This paper discusses how post-kerbside household treatment systems can encourage pro-environmental behaviou...

Using a tight-binding model of charge transport in systems with static and dynamic disorder, we present a theoretical study of the positive charge transfer in molecular assemblies that involve a hole donor and an acceptor connected by fluorene and phenyl bridges. Two parameters that determine the rate of charge transfer within the proposed model are the charge transfer integral between neighbor...

BACKGROUND During total hip arthroplasty (THA) drainage is used by most surgeons. However, the optimal drainage strategy remains controversial. The aim of this prospective cohort study was to determine the safety and efficacy of a four-hour drainage clamping technique in patients undergoing THA. MATERIAL AND METHODS There were 64 patients who underwent THA from March 2012 to December 2015 who w...

This article reported the ultilization of cross-bridge flap transplantation and combined free-tissue flap transplantation to treat a 54-year-old male with Gustilo type III-C injuries. Thorough debridement, external fixation and vacuum sealing drainage were performed in the fist-stage treatment. After the removal of negative pressure on VSD devices, the joined free-tissue flaps and the cross-bri...
