Tuned liquid dampers (TLDs) have been broadly applied to suppress structural vibrations.In the present study, a novel vibration mitigation device consisting of non-Newtonian fluids coupled with an elastic baffle is proposed.The fluid-structure interaction is studied numerically.To optimize the system, different fluids, including the Bingham fluid,
Protection of the environment was not a specific importance to the Community although the Treaty of Rome expressly specified that "health, safety environmental protection" shall be based on "a high level of protection".In deciding upon a framework for a European environmental policy, the Community was also responding Detergent Drawer Insert to incr
Payments for Environmental Services (PES) Programs 3 Piece Queen Panel Bed can be useful policy instruments for achieving conservation objectives through incentive mechanisms.However, the success of such programs depends on the particular solutions that are given to political economy constraints and challenges.The Mexican case provides helpful less
Ground conditioning agents are often needed when performing earth pressure balance shield tunneling in sand soils due to its high internal friction, low plastic ductility, and low compressibility.In this work, vane shear and compression tests for standard sand were performed using a homemade test device, and three types of conditioning agents compo
Abstract Background Recently, it has been suspected that there is a relationship between therapy with some antibiotics and the onset of autism; but even more curious, some children benefited transiently from a subsequent treatment with a different antibiotic.Here, we speculate how aminoglycoside antibiotics might be associated with autism.Presentat
