In this study, the fatigue behavior of Engineered Cementitious Composites incorporating high tenacity polypropylene fiber was investigated.The strain curves, cycle numbers, crack numbers and stiffness values were obtained from the experiments carried out with the load-controlled fatigue method at 80, 90 and 110% stress level (maximum stress/ultimat
The method of the optimization of material flows for functioning of the recovery system
To solve the problem of timely provision of military formations (units) with the logistical means (LM), the method of optimization of material flows is proposed in the work.To implement this method, the system of the material flows management, storage and transportation of the logistical means is divided into strategic, operational and tactical lev
Friend or foe: effects of social experience and genetic line on responses of young gilts in a social challenge paired interaction test
The increased focus on group housing of sows in commercial pig production emphasises the importance of saving appropriate gilts which later become sows that are well-adapted to group housing systems.This study aimed to assess the short-term effects of social mixing experience and genetic line on social and exploration responses of Compression Sock
Functional connectivity within sensorimotor cortical and striatal regions is regulated by sepsis in a sex-dependent manner
Sepsis is a state of systemic immune dysregulation and organ failure that is frequently associated with severe brain disability.Epidemiological studies have indicated that younger females have better prognosis and clinical outcomes relative to males, though the sex-dependent response of the brain to sepsis during post-sepsis recovery remains largel
Synergic Effects of Bed Materials and Catalytic Filter Candle for the Conversion of Tar during Biomass Steam Gasification
This work concerns the activities of the European project BLAZE that aims to integrate a pilot-scale gasifier unit with a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC).The objective is to identify the optimal operating conditions for a gasifier and hot gas cleaning Progesterone Cream and conditioning unit to produce H2-rich syngas with contaminants levels within th
