In this research paper, a 3-D finite element model was used for the analysis of curved concrete slab on steel girder bridges. A parametric study was carried out to calculate the load distribution factors for horizontally curved steel I-girder bridges based on (AASHTO LRFD) live loads .The bridges are analyzed by three dimensional finite elements using SAP 2…

This study aimed to examine how varying downward loads and rotational speeds affect the removal efficiency and torque/force generation of the HyFlex Remover. Sixty transparent straight resin canals filled with gutta-percha and AH Plus sealer were prepared using the HyFlex Remover at two rotational speeds (400 and 800 rpm) and three downward loads (2, 3, and…

Electric load forecasting for buildings is important as it assists building managers or system operators to plan energy usage and strategize accordingly. Recent increases in the adoption of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) have made building electrical consumption data available, and this has increased the feasibility of data-driven load forecasting.

© 2016 National Strength and Conditioning Association.Although previous studies have investigated exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) after a bout of unloaded drop jumps (DJs), none have investigated the effects of accentuated eccentric load (AEL) DJs on EIMD.

© 2016 National Strength and Conditioning Association.The aims of this study were (a) to investigate the acute effects of different drop jump (DJ) accentuated eccentric loading (AEL) protocols and (b) to investigate the effect of these AEL DJ protocols on subsequent countermovement jump (CMJ) performance.

A commonly used method is to divide the matrix into multiple non-intersecting blocks and concurrently calculate them. This operation causes the Load balance problem, which significantly impacts parallel performance and is a big concern.

The aim of this study was: 1) to identify which bumblebees pollinate Onobrychis pindicola, 2) to identify which plants compete for these pollinators with O. pindicola, 3) to use pollen load analysis to assess bumblebee flower constancy and spatial foraging patterns of bumblebee pollinators of O.

The article adopts the thesis of the presence, in many school trips, of an excessive cognitive load and affirms the need to devote the same attention to teaching in these learning contexts as in class work.

The MWWO method robustly and dynamically tunes the parameters of the Proportional Integral controller for effective operation. The efficiency of the proposed technique has been compared with the traditional methods regarding hydrogen consumption, load power deliberation, power quality and overall system efficiency.

Objective: Meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) is a joint-preserving option for patients with symptomatic meniscal deficiency unresponsive to nonoperative care. By restoring tibiofemoral load transmission, MAT can relieve pain, improve function, and potentially delay osteoarthritis progression.

Therefore, the authors propose an evaluation method that fuses expert features with multi‐image inputs and analyses the model evaluation process based on gradient. First, typical load profiles are extracted by the proposed procedure.

Resistance in commercial wheat varieties is poor, however, a link between reduced nitrogen availability and increased Septoria tolerance has been observed. We have shown that Septoria load is not affected by nitrogen, whilst the fungus is in its first, symptomless stage of growth.

The model includes three essential process parameters: sliding velocity (m/s), applied load (kg), and sliding distance (km), in addition to the chamber temperature (°C). A total of 27 experimental designs were devised using a Box-Behnken design.

© 2020 Elsevier LtdCarbohydrate-based porous scaffolds are promising biomaterials to support cartilage regeneration. In this respect, their composition could be designed to face clinical challenges, i.e., articular load bearing, infections and oxidative stress.

In the athletes, while both groups had improved exercise performance, the maximal aerobic speed increased only in the control group. A mitochondrial DNA analysis revealed that the control group responded to training by increasing the mitochondrial load whereas the cocoa group showed no increase.

Research Gap: The integration of telescopic crown systems with semi-precision attachments incorporating a rotational latching mechanism has not been previously described as a unified approach to optimise load distribution and prosthesis stability in maxillary defect rehabilitation.

Bounded by the macroscopic Geometric Yield Coefficient (Y_max ≈ 0.2055), the model establishes a theoretical expansion ceiling of H_fast ≈ 74.69 km s⁻¹ Mpc⁻¹. We analytically derive an “Inertial Counter-Load” (Ωₘᵉᶠᶠ ≈ 0.3639) generated by this late-time macroscopic drag, predicting a decelerated theoretical terminal velocity of H₀ ≈ 72.71 km s⁻¹ Mpc⁻¹.

The cryogenic loop heat pipe is a high-efficiency two-phase heat transfer device that is commonly used in space thermal control systems. In order to investigate the suitable working fluids for LHP in 180～230 K for space exploration applications, the effects of working fluids on the operating characteristics including start-ups, responses of the operating te…

Pretransplant, both donor and recipient variables, must be carefully chosen to ensure optimal surgical success. Risk factors must be identified and HCV viral load must be reduced to a minimum.

During the development process of heavy transmission,a cyclic loading fatigue life test is required to carry out in a certain load to verify the reliability of the internal gear,shaft,bearing,box,and the overall system.
