Based on shear strength reduction finite element method, stability of retaining wall with relieving plate has been analyzed. Due to the structure character of retaining wall with relieving plate, it can be found that fracture surface could hardly cross the triangle area of between lower wall and soleplate, between upper wall and relieving plate, so the second fractured surface occurred at there...

The flow field of a radial wall jet created by the impingement of a round synthetic jet normal to a flat surface was characterized using hot-wire anemometry. In the synthetic wall jets the width of the outer layer was observed to increase linearly with the radial distance along the wall, while the local maximum velocity varied inversely. The synthetic wall jet exhibits self-similar behavior as ...

The cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an elastic structure that provides osmotic and physical protection and determines the shape of the cell. The inner layer of the wall is largely responsible for the mechanical strength of the wall and also provides the attachment sites for the proteins that form the outer layer of the wall. Here we find among others the sexual agglutinins and the floc...

Transmural histological changes were determined morphometrically in the left ventricular free wall of 20 pigs after ligation of distal left anterior descending coronary artery for 10, 20, 40, and 120 minutes. Hemodynamics were recorded and regional blood flow distribution was measured in the ischemic zone. Coronary occlusion produced regional transmural ischemia without producing significant sy...

Highly turbulent natural circulation in an enclosed tall rod bundle is investigated using Large Eddy Simulation (LES). The consists of 36 heated rods and insulated central tubeenclosed by a cooled containment wall. This geometry directly relevant to nuclear fuel bundles generic heat exchangers. For bundles, importance accident scenarios. A 60° azimuthally periodic sector the modelled. Rayleigh ...

background: more diagnostic techniques require a better understanding of the forces and stresses developed in the wall of the left ventricle. the aim of this study was to differentiate significant coronary artery disease (cad) patients using a non-invasive quantification of myocardial wall stress in the diastole phase. methods: sixty male subjects with sinus rhythm (30 patients with significant...

INTRODUCTION Among cardiovascular diseases, arterials stenosis is recognized more commonly than the others. Hemodynamic characteristics of blood play a key role in the incidence of stenosis. This paper numerically investigates the pulsatile blood flow in a coronary bifurcation with a non-planar branch. To create a more realistic analysis, the wall is assumed to be compliant. Furthermore, the fl...

The investigation of damage to buildings in terms of non-structural walls collapse in the past earthquakes have caused researchers to study the seismic behavior of walls more extensively. Furthermore, seismic design codes have considered using wall posts to prevent wall damage, however, not many studies were done on seismic behavior change in structures due to the addition of wall posts. Theref...

Sex differences are prominent influences on spatial performance. One of the most common tasks to assess sex differences in spatial navigation in rodents is the Morris water task (MWT). In this task rats swim in a pool of water to locate a hidden platform employing the topographical relationships among the distal visual cues, pool wall, and goal location. Some evidence suggests that male rats di...
