Geometry of eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) in some cases causes the connection of link beam to the column. The details of such conditions should be studied carefully due to the full plastic rotation in the link beam. In this research, the behavior of link-to-column connection is modeled and the failure modes are considered. Based on the previous researches shear link can exhibit better beha...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to observe the rotation patterns at the papillary muscle plane in the Left Ventricle(LV) with normal subjects using two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging(2D-STI). METHODS We acquired standard of the basal, the papillary muscle and the apical short-axis images of the LV in 64 subjects to estimate the LV rotation motion by 2D-STI. The rotational degrees a...

Objectives Tooth rotation is one of the most prevalent dental anomalies. Early management of rotated teeth would prevent possible occlusal interferences. The purpose of this case report was to introduce a fixed-removable appliance, which can efficiently correct severely rotated anterior teeth in a short duration of time in mixed dentition period. Case A 7-year-old boy with a Class I malocclusi...

Ecosystem water-use efficiency (WUE) has been central in revealing the variability terrestrial carbon and water cycles. Short-rotation plantations such as Eucalyptus can simultaneously impact net primary production (NPP) actual evapotranspiration (ETa), components of WUE, resulting changes However, there are few detailed studies on WUE at catchment scale with high spatial remote sensing imagery...

in order to evaluation the effect of different crop rotation, fertilizer and protection managements on weed seed bank properties an experiment was conducted in close house experimental glass house on the soil of 5th year of organic rotation that is conducting in university of newcastle’s nafferton experimental farm. rotation was started with grass/clover for first two years and continued with w...
