The purpose of this prospective investigation was to compare two methods for sheathing of the endovaginal ultrasound-probe. The study was conducted over a 7-month period in 1991-1992. In the first half of the investigation, latex examination gloves were used to sheath the endovaginal probe; during the second half of the investigation, latex condoms were used. Following the ultrasound examinatio...

Engineering judgement and intuition are vital characteristic of the design profession. Engineering judgement and intuition are developed through experience. This experience is gained by designing a building (working with industry disciplines and the owner); analyzing the building (calculations); being part of the construction process (constructability), and walking through the final product (en...

Abstract Between September 2012 and February 2013, archaeological excavations carried out in the riverside area of Lisbon (Portugal) revealed remains two wooden ships: Boa Vista 1 (BV1) 2 (BV2), both dating from late seventeenth or early eighteenth century. BV1 ship consists scattered hull timbers which were damaged their original positions. Some ship’s features are common Mediterranean like a ...

This study presents an innovative design for a cold-formed steel polyurethane (CFS-PU) composite wall panel, combining frame, foam infill, and gypsum fibreboard sheathing. The filling process, in which the is injected under pressure, ensures uniform distribution, bonding, interaction of all panel components. aim to evaluate behaviour CFS-PU panels influence PU sheathing on performance CFS frame...

Human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) has been recently found to be associated with slowly progressive myelopathy. We have seen 12 patients with HTLV-I associated myelopathy (HAM), three of whom showed retinal vasculitis. In addition two patients had ocular symptoms of vitreous opacity. Retinal vasculitis in these patients appears to be phlebitis and sheathing of retinal veins in the perip...

In light-frame timber construction, the shear wall is one of most important components that provide resistance to lateral loads such as earthquakes or winds. According KDS (Korea Design Standard) 42 50 10, walls are be constructed using wood-based structural sheathing, with studs connected by 8d nails spaced 150 mm along edge and 300 in field. Even though small-scale residential building can de...

Light-gauge steel framed (LSF) walls used in low- and mid-rise buildings are usually sheathed with gypsum plasterboard to protect the thin-walled studs fire. The structural failures of these fire mostly associated local in-plane shear or pull-through at their stud-to-gypsum sheathing screw fastener connections. reductions mechanical properties cold-formed elevated temperatures significantly red...
