In recent years, studies on crack propagation analysis and evaluation methods for RC structural members have been carried out the sake of reparability performance. The purpose this study is to develop a simple method estimating without using advanced complicated analytical techniques. This paper divided into two main chapters: first focuses relationship between axial strain distribution length ...

Introduction . Trolleybuses and buses are the main type of railless public transport. This article examines factors affecting cost transportation, in terms maintenance repair rolling stock detail. The purpose this study is to compare values labour intensity for trolleybuses identify reasons that affect difference buses. Materials methods To achieve goal, following tasks were solved: 1. analysis...

The current prospective study examined how characteristic beliefs about mood affect illness and symptom reporting. Using the Trait Meta-Mood Scale, 134 undergraduate (76 females and 58 males) reported their beliefs about attention to, clarity, and reparability of mood. Self-reported stress, illness, and symptoms were collected at three times following assessment of trait meta-mood, during times...

Radiotherapy of solid tumors with charged particles holds several advantages in comparison to photon therapy; among them conformal dose distribution in the tumor, improved sparing of tumor-surrounding healthy tissue, and an increased relative biological effectiveness (RBE) in the tumor target volume in the case of ions heavier than protons. A crucial factor of the biological effects is DNA dama...

In recent years, many password-based remote user authentication schemes have been presented. In 2003, Shen et al. proposed a timestamp-based password authentication scheme using smart cards. In their scheme, the server does not need to maintain any verification table and only stores a secret key. However, Awasthi et al. found that Shen et al.’s scheme is vulnerable to impersonation attacks with...

Both engineered hydraulic systems and plant hydraulic systems are protected against failure by resistance, reparability, and redundancy. A basic rule of reliability engineering is that the level of independent redundancy should increase with increasing risk of fatal system failure. Here we show that hydraulic systems of plants function as predicted by this engineering rule. Hydraulic systems of...
