Externally Bonded Reinforcement on Grooves (EBROG) is a new method that has been introduced to postpone or eliminate debonding of FRP sheets from concrete surface in concrete beams strengthened for flexure and increase loading capacity. For strengthening reinforced conceret beams in strructure, use of different types of FRP like: laminate, AFRP, CFRP, and GFRP. By there is some differences bet...

I. Urinary excretion of tryptophan metabolites of the kynurenine pathway before and after a loading dose of 2 g of L-tryptophan (both before and during supplementation with vitamin B6) was studied in normal young male subjects and in elderly male subjects with prostatic diseases. 2. The increase in urinary excretion of tryptophan metabolites in the normal male subjects after a loading dose of 2...

Interference with mitochondrial calcium regulation is proposed to be a primary causative event in the mechanism of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. We previously reported disruption of mitochondrial calcium homeostasis after chronic doxorubicin administration (Solen et al. Toxicol. Appl. Pharmacol, 129: 214-222, 1994). The present study was designed to characterize the dose-dependent and cum...

composite couple beams are the concrete elements consisting of longitudinal bars and steel plate, therefore suitable for shear transferring in couple shear walls with arranged gates in its height. in this paper, after modeling couple beams with and without steel plates with f.e methods and calibration the models with experimental results, effects of parameters such as thickness, height, length ...

The use of composite materials is an effective technique to enhance the capacity of reinforced concrete columns subjected to the seismic loading due to their high tensile strength. In this paper, numerical models are developed in order to predict the experimental behavior of square reinforced concrete columns strengthened by glass fiber reinforced polymer and steel bars and unstrengthened colum...

Lithium/sulphur batteries are promising candidates for future energy storage systems, mainly due to their high potential capacity. However low sulphur utilization and capacity fading hinder practical realizations. In order to improve understanding of the system, we investigate Li/S electrode morphology changes for different ageing steps, using X-ray phase contrast tomography. Thereby we find a ...

Due to its high theoretical capacity, high energy density, and easy availability, the lithium-sulfur (Li-S) system is considered to be the most promising candidate for electric and hybrid electric vehicle applications. Sulfur/carbon cathode in Li-S batteries still suffers, however, from low Coulombic efficiency and poor cycle life when sulfur loading and the ratio of sulfur to carbon are high. ...
