Abstract Colloidal silica (CS) grouting is a soil improvement technique introduced as an innovative remedial measure against seismic liquefaction. It consists of injecting soils with time-hardening, nanosilica-based solution forming gel among particles. This paper presents the results experimental study on effects initial static shear stress behaviour cyclically loaded clean sand stabilised 5% ...

the amount and consistency of the applied forces to the tooth are important factors in tooth movements; therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the initial force and the force loss of three brands of elastics in 24 hours.in this in-vitro study sixty non-latex elastics (3/16 medium) from three companies (forestadent, dentaurum and ortho technology) were randomly selected. two static test...

Background: Among non-communicable diseases, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) account for 44% of all deaths. Among natural alternatives, Nigella sativa (NS) exert beneficial effects on cardio-metabolic factors. This is the first systematic review and meta-analysis protocol aimed to identify all the findings relevant to the effects of NS on cardio-metabolic factors among adults. Methods: This stud...

In this paper, the effects of initial deflection on static and dynamic behaviors circular capacitive transducers are experimentally investigated. The obtained results in good agreement with numerical simulations. It is shown that has a major impact response resonator by shifting pull-in voltage, its increasing resonance frequency modifying bifurcation topology from softening to hardening behavi...

It is generally believed that the spatial distribution of galaxies does not trace that of the total mass. The understanding of the bias effect is therefore necessary to determine the cosmological parameters and the primordial density fluctuation spectrum from the galaxy survey. The deterministic description of bias may not be appropriate because of the various stochasticity of galaxy formation ...
