In civil structures and infrastructure, assessing true performance and characterizing unusual structural behaviors can help avoid severe structural problems.To further refine or validate the conclusions from structural health monitoring (SHM) analyses, nondestructive evaluation or techniques (NDE or NDT) can be applied in conjunction with SHM appro
Eighteen pregnant dromedary females (Camelus dromedarius) were used to determine the effect of concentrate supplement on growth and reproductive performances in peri-partum period.The females were divided into supplemented (n = 9; S) and unsupplemented (n = 9; C) experimental groups.All animals grazed, with one mature male, 7 to 8 hours per day on
This paper reports the first steps in determining the effects Cosmetic Bag of fluid flow on the performance of the mitral valve of the heart that is relevant to surgical repair of the valve.In this paper, blood flow in idealised two-dimensional models of the mitral valve was studied using a numerical fluid-structure interaction (FSI) and experiment
Abstract Background We dissected total power into its primary components to resolve its relative contributions to tissue damage (VILI).We hypothesized that driving power or elastic (dynamic) power offers more precise VILI risk indicators than raw total power.The relative correlations of these three measures of power with VILI-induced histologic cha
