The ultra-high tensile ductility of ECC provides an alternative way to enhance the ductility of Pizza Screens structural members by using high-ductile matrix material instead of simply increasing reinforcements.However, the application of ECC members is still limited due to the relatively short research time and the lack of design specifications.Be
Background.Neuropathies of the lumbar plexus trunks, in particular those of the femoral nerve, are the most common complications of lateral interbody fusion of the lumbar spine.Modeling of this surgical intervention in normal animals experimentally makes it possible to assess the degree of its trauma to the nervous structures, and to understand wha
Objective Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of dietary sucralose on diet preference and growth performance of weaned piglets, and a third experiment was a 28-d safety study to examine if high-dose sucralose could affect the health state of weaned piglets.Methods In experiment one, 48 piglets had free access to a corn-soybean
Abstract As NASA prepares for longer duration missions beyond the geomagnetic field, the possibility of intensifying galactic cosmic ray (GCR) exposure raises possible concerns for mission planning and crew health and safety.Spaceborne satellite measurements have exhibited increasing GCR intensities and dose‐rates over the past few solar minima,
