Advances in the production of optical fibers made possible recent development innovative sensing systems for health monitoring civil structures. The main reasons this are reduced weight and dimensions fiber optic sensors, strong immunity to electromagnetic interference, improved environmental resistance scale flexibility small-gauge long-gauge measurements. These can provide high-resolution measurement capabilities that not feasible with conventional technologies. In addition, they be...
Abstract: The important advances achieved in the modal identification, sensors, and structural monitoring of bridges have motivated bridge engineering community to develop damage detection methods based on vibration monitoring. Some these already been demonstrated under certain conditions with deliberate damage. However, performance for has not fully proven so far more research needs be done this direction. In article, six are evaluated two case studies. First, dynamic simulation parameters...
The oxygen purity produced by pressure swing adsorption (PSA) processes is limited to 95%, with the rest being essentially argon. This grade suitable for many industrial applications. However, medical applications, cylinder filling, oxyfuel cutting in metal fabrications, and fuel cells technology recirculation loop, among others, require a higher (99% or above). In this paper, study of high-purity production PSA unit using silver exchanged zeolite from Air Products Chemicals, Inc.,...
Abstract This paper presents probabilistic models for mechanical properties of pre-cast and cast-on-site concrete as well reinforcing pre-stressing steel. An extended review available in the literature is made new are developed based on a significant amount data collected by authors. New proposed ultimate strength (separately precast cast-in-place concretes), yield steel proportionality limit The account recent improvement production more appropriate assessment modern structures then...
Abstract Melamine can be incorporated in the synthesis of urea‐formaldehyde (UF) resins to improve performance particleboards (PB), mostly terms hydrolysis resistance and formaldehyde emission. In this work, melamine‐fortified UF were synthesized using a strong acid process. The best step for melamine addition effect reaction pH on resin characteristics evaluated. Results showed that incorporation is more effective when added initial acidic stage. condensation has significant A below 3.0...
The main objective of a bridge manager is to find the best maintenance plan for group bridges over prescribed time horizon. usually faces conflicting objectives, as plans resulting in safer and less deteriorated structures also lead higher costs. In general, problem posed deterministic single-objective optimization where cost minimized keeping performance above predefined thresholds. However, results only one optimal solution that does not provide advantages considering other objectives...
Os Hemangiossarcoma são neoplasias consideradas benignas, entretanto transformações malignas podem ocorrer em alguns casos de tumores que sofrem alteração celular, devido à exposição ao sol e multicêntricos. O objeto do presente trabalho é relatar o caso um canino, da raça York Shire, fêmea, seis anos idade, atendido numa clínica particular Belém Pará, apresentando apenas abdome abaulado escore corporal abaixo média, animal evolui a óbito mês depois. já estava processo metastático, órgão...
Compounding (FM) is a drug prepared according to the specific needs of patient, under medical prescription, when marketed medicines are not adequate patient's pathology. This why FM last link in Health System, which prescription one critical elements preparation process. study analyzes distribution FM, most frequent errors and if there any relation between format used detected or where has it been prescribed. Human compounding prescriptions were obtained from third party manufacturing...
A general step-by-step model for the nonlinear and time-dependent analysis of reinforced concrete, prestressed composite steel-concrete planar frame structures is presented. The can simulate segmental construction processes such as changes in either longitudinal cross-sectional geometry or properties materials; placement removal elements, prestressing tendons, stays; modifications internal external boundary conditions. materials properties, structural effects delayed deformations,...
