The partially prefabricated laminated (RC) walls mentioned is this kind of seismic prevention element with part prefabricated concrete plate and cast in place concrete plate. 4 typical laminated walls without openings, 4 laminated walls with openings, and 1 common cast-in-place RC walls were tested under cyclic test. The seismic behaviour were analysed by the finite element software based on th...

BACKGROUND The search for new surgical flap techniques and modifications of already existing ones is gaining increasing popularity. Progress in flap designing and harvesting have improved the functional and aesthetic results, especially in head and neck reconstruction. MATERIAL/METHODS Ten pigs were used in this study. In the first operation, high-density porous polyethylene prefabrication wa...

Introduction: Intraradicular retention and stability in severely compromised anterior teeth, is an important factor for functional reconstruction of such teeth. Most commonly used posts are custom or prefabricated. the prefabricated posts include glass fiber, carbon fiber, metal or ceramics. However, till date none of the available posts meet all the biological requirements. this study is a bio...

UNLABELLED The present report describes the application of a miniplate in the hard palate of a 36-year-old patient with a large anterior maxillary defect. The combination of orthodontic elastics with a titanium miniplate improved the stability of the prefabricated prosthesis. This structure retained the ointment gauze covering the wounds and maintained the facial contour. In addition, contractu...

PURPOSE Biologic valved-conduit grafts avoid the need for anticoagulation and can exploit the excellent hemodynamic performance of stentless valves. Incorporation of sinuses of Valsalva into the neoaortic root can improve the function of the stentless valves. DESCRIPTION Here we present a novel prefabricated stentless valved conduit incorporating sinuses of Valsalva and describe the technique...

One of the common concrete channels in irrigation networks is the semielliptical prefabricated channels. Manning formula is usually used to design these channels. The cross-sectional area and the wetted perimeter are required to be calculated in Manning formula. There are no analytical solutions to directly compute these parameters. Thus, numerical integration methods are inevitably used. In th...

The increased use of prefabricated components, the complexity of new building shapes, and the speeding up of production in construction, demand an efficient and precise dimensional control. Meanwhile Information and Communication Technology (ICT) increasingly supports construction, among others, CAD systems and Total Stations, are being used for the purpose of dimensional control. In order to i...

The most important parameter in transformers life expectancy is the hot-spot temperature level which accelerates the rate of aging of the insulation. The aim of this paper is to present thermal models for transformers loaded at prefabricated MV/LV transformer substations and outdoor situations. The hot-spot temperature of transformers is studied using their top-oil temperature rise models. The ...

Robust Trust Reputation Systems (TRS) provide a most trustful reputation score for a specific product or service so as to support relying parties taking the right decision while interacting with an e-commerce application. Thus, TRS must rely on an appropriate architecture and suitable algorithms that are able to improve the selection, storage, generation and classification of textual feedbacks....

The application of prefabricated components (PCs) is accelerating the transformation traditional building model to supply chain, and it also places higher requirements on suppliers. How efficiently select high-quality suppliers has become an urgent problem for engineering general contractors. This paper fully considers characteristics elements supplier selection, combining Supply Chain Operatio...
