Vaults are ubiquitous ribonucleoprotein complexes involved in a diversity of cellular processes, including multidrug resistance, transport mechanisms and signal transmission. The vault particle shows a barrel-shaped structure organized in two identical moieties, each consisting of 39 copies of the major vault protein MVP. Earlier data indicated that vault halves can dissociate at acidic pH. The...

The Fuzzy Vault scheme is an encryption scheme, which can tolerate errors in the keys. This leads to the possibility of enhancing the security in environments where these errors can be common, such as biometrics storage systems. Although several researchers have provided implementations, we find that the scheme is vulnerable to attacks when not properly used. This paper describes an attack on t...

INTRODUCTION We aimed to evaluate the local incidences of hydronephrosis and renal impairment in the presence of severe uterovaginal or vault prolapse, and determine whether treatment by surgery or ring pessary resulted in the resolution of hydronephrosis in these patients. METHODS This was a retrospective case study of 121 patients who presented with severe uterovaginal or vault prolapse. Al...

The purpose of this study was to examine reaction forces transmitted to the upper extremities of high-level gymnasts during the round-off phase of the Yurchenko vault. A secondary purpose of this study was to compare reaction forces during the Yurchenko vault to reaction forces observed in a tumbling pass during the floor exercise. Ten high-level, female gymnasts volunteered to participate. Con...

UNLABELLED Complete dentures often fracture during normal masticatory function. The reason could be due to the shape of the palate, i.e. deep, medium or shallow palatal vault. This in vitro study was performed to determine the relationship of palatal vault depth and flexural strength of two different permanent denture base resins. Edentulous maxillary casts of patients were collected from the d...

The open excavation and concealed construction method is widely adopted for the of bias double-arch tunnels. However, mechanical behavior tunnel during whole period by using not well understood, basis organization optimization lacking. Based on an open-buried Xiajuan Road, Changsha City, China, on-site monitoring was carried out in terms deformation steel arch primary lining, stress reinforceme...

Taking the Jiangluling Carbonaceous Shale Tunnel as an example, this study aims to investigate mechanism of large deformation and design construction technology carbonaceous shale tunnels. Using theoretical analysis comparative numerical simulation field measured data, mechanism, mechanical properties, causes squeezing were analyzed. The results are follows: 1) Six failure modes support structu...

Affected by dip angle and thickness of strata the tunneling method, soft rock tunnel has obvious characteristics large deformation, long deformation time difficult support. Based on a case study Gelong failure mechanism surrounding rock, stress supporting structural control method section highway passing through strong-medium weathered carbonaceous slate stratum are studied. This paper proposed...

In the present article, we revisit question of structural characteristics and building methods two most famous Hungarian Late-Gothic net vaults, nave vault Franciscan Church Szeged-Alsóváros Reformed Nyírbátor. Based on data gathered by laser-scanning buildings, geometric system as opposed to former state research, differ significantly from each other. While rib webbing have features characteri...

Water inrush is one of the most frequent and catastrophic hazards in tunnel engineering, poses serious threats to safety engineering personnel. This paper presents a case study water ground collapse Qingdao Metro Line 4, which caused cave-in with diameter depth about 30 m 6 m, respectively. Based on field data numerical modelling, causes disaster were analyzed. A model was used analyze changes ...
