Since the late 1990s, there have been tremendous strides made in improving the capacity for carrying out routine active surveillance of new vaccines in the United States. These strides have led to new surveillance systems that are now in place. Some of the critical elements that are part of successful vaccine or drug safety surveillance systems include their use of (i) longitudinal data from a ...

In the Present study, attempt will be made to propose a new method for prediction of long-term essential creep of concrete utilizing some short-term creep tests under high temperature. To do so, regarding the similarities between essential creep of concrete and creep in viscoelastic materials, the time–temperature equivalence relation in viscoelastic materials is evaluated for concrete. This re...

Emergent power and automation technologies provide new opportunities and challenges for multi-disciplinary ship design. In particular, these dynamically interdependent systems require dependable, fault-tolerant control to efficiently manage limited resources and to respond to casualty conditions. Design of an electric warship engineering and damage control system of systems is considered as an ...

creep phenomenon in rock engineering plays a key role in development of underground spaces as they must be stable enough for a long period of time. current research involved designing and manufacturing of a new creep testing machine. the equipment is capable to perform simultaneous light-duty creep tests on more than one cylindrical rock samples at a very low cost.to evaluate the equipment’s pe...

mechanism and factors influencing on creep behavior of clay soil have not been understood yet due to its complex structure. in this paper, to investigate the affecting parameters on the creep behavior of the clay soils such as stress level, over consolidated pressure and water pressure, odeometr test are performed in states of single stage, stepwise and overloaded-unloaded and the creep mechani...

materials exhibit significant creep behavior at temperatures above 40% of their absolute melt temperature. lead, tin and their alloys are such materials which experience significant creep behavior in room temperature. one of the most important applications of the tin-lead alloys is soldering electronic circuits in electronic industry, and for lead are isolation walls and wet batteries. room tem...

Time-dependent creep stress redistribution analysis of thick-walled FGM spheres subjected to an internal pressure and a uniform temperature field is investigated. The material creep and mechanical properties through the radial graded direction are assumed to obey the simple power-law variation throughout the thickness. Total strains are assumed to be the sum of elastic, thermal and creep strain...

Abstract Aim Appropriately used, percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) can be lifesaving. We have noted an increase their use. This may due to increasing population frailty combined with delayed presentations or treatment from the COVID pandemic. sought audit use of PC in our Trust. Method Retrospective analysis prospectively collected data 2020-2022 at a large DGH comparison insertion standards (f...
