ANALYTICAL SOLUTION FOR A 1D HEXAGONAL QUASICRYSTAL STRIP WITH TWO COLLINEAR MODE-III CRACKS PERPENDICULAR TO THE STRIP BOUNDARIES

Analytical Solution for a 1D Hexagonal Quasicrystal Strip with Two Collinear Mode-III Cracks Perpendicular to the Strip Boundaries

We considered the problem of determining the singular elastic fields in a one-dimensional (1D) hexagonal quasicrystal strip containing two collinear cracks perpendicular to the strip boundaries under antiplane shear loading.The Fourier series method was used to reduce the boundary value problem to triple series equations, then to singular integral

Laparoscopic repair for vesicouterine fistulae

ABSTRACT Objective: The purpose of this video is to present the laparoscopic repair of a VUF in a 42-year-old woman, with gross hematuria, in the immediate postoperative phase following a cesarean delivery.The obstetric team implemented conservative management, including Foley catheter insertion, for 2 weeks.She subsequently developed intermittent

Protection patterns in duck and chicken after homo- or hetero-subtypic reinfections with H5 and H7 low pathogenicity avian influenza viruses: a comparative study.

Avian influenza viruses are circulating continuously in ducks, inducing a mostly asymptomatic infection, while chickens are accidental hosts highly susceptible to respiratory disease.This discrepancy might be due to a different Disinfectants host response to the virus between these two bird species and in particular to a different susceptibility to

Reconstructing Nonparametric Productivity Networks

Network models provide a general representation of inter-connected system dynamics.This ability to connect systems has led to a proliferation of network models for economic productivity analysis, primarily estimated non-parametrically using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA).While network DEA models can be used to measure system performance, they lack
