The use of current seat belts has been shown to be effective in reducing deaths and serious injuries to restrained car occupants by 50% compared to unrestrained. Real world accident studies have identified limitations to the performance of set belts. This has led to the next major evolution in restraint design which is the development of the intelligent restraints. The options for intelligent r...

Design of foundations in earthquake prone areas needs special considerations. Shallow foundations may experience a reduction in bearing capacity and increase in settlement and tilt due to seismic loading. The reduction in bearing capacity depends on the nature and type of soil and ground acceleration parameters. In the case of piles, the soil-pile behavior under earthquake loading is generally ...

• The fifth objective of the AASHO Road Test was as follows: "To develop instrumentation, test procedures, data, graphs and formulas which will reflect the capabilities of the various test sections; and which will be helpful in future highway design in the evaluation of the loadcarrying capabilities of existing highways and determining the most promising areas of further highway research." It w...

or intact muscle. End-systolic pressure-volume relations of frog hearts have been found to be load dependent, whereas those of the mammal are relatively load independent. On the other hand, myocardial relaxation as studied at the muscle level is load independent in the frog but markedly load dependent in the mammal. Interpretation of these studies is complicated because of the unknown contribut...

Free lateral flow tests will be available until the end of August, but it has yet to determined whether they continue have a role once most adults are fully vaccinated, head agency responsible for health protection in UK said. Currently, all and secondary school pupils encouraged use rapid on themselves at home twice week. Although not as accurate polymerase chain reaction tests, devices able ...

Pile foundations are used to support both vertical and horizontal loads in many geotechnical projects, such as coastal offshore engineering. In this project, the Finite Difference Method is proposed solve differential equation governing lateral axial pile response. Initially, behaviour of subjected load will be analysed. The effect various parameters like head fixity, cohesion surrounding soil,...

statement of problem: few longitudinal studies have evaluated the reproducibility of natural head position (nhp) with more than six months follow-up. purpose: the present investigation was conducted to estimate the reproducibility of nhp in adult cases after three years. materials and methods: this descriptive study was performed on 27 volunteer dental students, 19-29 years of age. one radiogra...
