The current practice of detailed seismic risk assessment cannot be easily applied to all the bridges in a large transportation networks due to limited resources.This paper presents a new approach for seismic risk assessment of large bridge inventories in a city or national bridge network Keypad Assembly based on the framework of probabilistic perfo
Multiharmonic vector rf voltage control for wideband cavities driven by vacuum tube amplifiers in a rapid cycling synchrotron
Beam loading compensation in the rf cavities is a key for acceleration of high-intensity beams in the 3 GeV rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS) of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC).Since we employ wideband magnetic alloy rf cavities for the J-PARC RCS and the wake voltage contains several harmonics, multiharmonic beam loading compe
Reduced clot strength upon admission, evaluated by thrombelastography (TEG), in trauma patients is independently associated with increased 30-day mortality
Abstract Introduction Exsanguination due to uncontrolled bleeding is the leading cause of potentially preventable deaths among trauma patients.About one third of trauma patients present with coagulopathy on admission, which is associated with increased mortality and will aggravate bleeding in a traumatized patient.Thrombelastographic (TEG) clot str
Diagnostics for Developing Countries
Improving the availability of high quality diagnostic tests for infectious diseases is a global priority.Lack of access by people living in low income countries may deprive them of life saving treatment and reduces opportunities to prevent onward transmission and spread of Lamp Shades the disease.Diagnostic laboratories are often poorly resourced i
Thyroid disorders in women with dysfunctional uterine bleeding
Background: Thyroid hormones play a key role in the Concealer menstrual and reproductive function of women.It is recognized universally that menstrual disturbances may accompany clinical alteration in thyroid function and every clinician has encountered altered menstrual pattern among women suffering from thyroid disorders.The aim of this study was
