Cost effective improvement of the mechanical performances of structural materials is an important goal in construction industry.To improve the flexural strength of plain concrete so as to reduce construction costs, the addition of fibers Bed Sheets to the concrete mixture can be adopted.The addition of small steel fibers with different lengths and
Technical and economic aspects of valve train wear during conversion of a gasoline internal combustion engine to gas engine fuel
Problem.The main trends in the car gasification are considered.It is shown that after the global automakers lost the interest in the creation and production of gas engines, the development of gas systems continues in the secondary market.A noticeable decrease in the valve train durability due to the valve recession was noted, which can make the con
Identifying Risk Factors for Premature Birth in the UK Millennium Cohort Using a Random Forest Decision-Tree Approach
Prior research on causes of preterm birth has tended to focus on pathophysiological processes while acknowledging the role of socioeconomic indicators.The present research explored a wide range of factors plausibly associated with preterm birth informed by pathophysiological and evolutionary life history perspectives on gestation length.To achieve
Identification of genes differentially expressed between a somatotrope and a lactotrope pituitary cell lines by representational difference analysis
The molecular and cellular processes leading to the development and differentiation of the anterior pituitary gland is well characterized both in rodents and in human and rely on the highly regulated expression of transcription and growth factors.Yet regulatory mechanisms and signature molecules implicated in postnatal pituitary homeostasis, cell a
