Sonic Echo (SE) testing method is a well-known, versatile method to gather information pertaining to unknown bridge foundations. Many studies on the applicability and methodology improvement of SE tests to evaluate individual piles and foundations supporting the superstructure have been reported previously. However, there is a rare opportunity for obtaining the performance of SE tests without t...

Spin dynamics in crossing a single depolarization resonance is a well-studied subject. One well-known example is that of Froissart and Stora in 1960 [1]. More is needed to complete the understanding, particularly of the transient effects, when crossing a single resonance [2]-[4], but question arises what happens if we cross two resonances or cross a single resonance twice. When a resonance is c...

Abstract The ekphrasis of Herakles’ shield in Pseudo-Hesiod’s Aspis comprises an immersive experiment the poetics sound. As complement to standard modes visualization that are crucial effective ekphrasis, this poem’s rich soundscape invites audience ‘auralize’ sounds described by internal observer. From monstrous noises emitted from shield’s iconographic world overdetermined correspondence soni...

Introduction Flow weighted gradient echo MRI techniques can be used for angiography. Furthermore, these techniques allow to visualise the ventilation of aquatic animals (1). Therefore using MRI, it should be possible to observe ventilation and blood flow in marine animals at the same time. Biochemical investigations led to the hypothesis that thermal tolerance is limited by insufficient oxygen ...

Objective The present study is planned to discuss the clinical value of prenatal 3D ultra-sonic diagnosis on fetus hemivertebra deformity through the retrospective analysis of clinical data of fetus hemivertebra deformity. Methods Selected 9 fetus hemivertebra deformity cases, which have been admitted to our hospital during the period from January, 2010 to January, 2016 as study samples, and ...

ABSTRACT Using nondestructive testing techniques to evaluate the length of a pile in capped group is always an important issue for its high value potential applications. One applicable occasions decide whether underneath piles are broken after attack severe earthquakes. There seems no economically feasible way at current stage achieve this goal piles. In paper essence difficulty further illu...

In recent years there has been a great deal of attention paid by researchers in investigating ionic liquids (ILs) mainly due to the tremendous potential that ionic liquids have in reaction and separation technology. Sonic speed is an important thermodynamic property of ionic liquids (ILs) and always chosen as a source to determine other properties. A database for the sonic speed of pure ILs cre...
