This paper presents a nonlinear finite element analysis of non-seismically detailed RC beam column connections under reversed cyclic load.The test of half-scale nonductile reinforced concrete beam-column joints was conducted.The tested specimens represented those of the actual mid-rise reinforced concrete frame buildings designed according to the n
Progressive dyspnea and hypoxaemia in the subacute phase after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) are uncommon and warrant immediate assessment of valve and prosthesis leaflet function to exclude thrombosis, as well as investigation for other causes related to the procedure, such as left ventricular dysfunction, pulmonary LEGO Ninjago e
This pilot study aimed to identify postural strategies in response to sensory perturbations (visual, auditory, somatosensory) in adults with and without sensory loss.We tested people with unilateral peripheral vestibular hypofunction (N = 12, mean age 62 range 23-78), or with Unilateral Sensorineural Hearing Loss (USNHL, N = 9, 48, 22-82), or healt
A transequatorial radio-wave propagation experiment at shortwave frequencies (HF-TEP) was done between Shepparton, Australia, and Oarai, Japan, using the radio broadcasting signals of Radio Australia.The receiving facility at Oarai was capable of direction finding based on the MUSIC (Multiple Signal Classification) algorithm.The results were plotte
The optical behavior of devices based on thin films is determined by complex refractive index and thickness of each slab composing the stack; these Hormonal Imbalance important parameters are usually evaluated from photometric and/or ellipsometric spectral measurements, given a model of the stack, by means of dedicated software.In the case of compl
