Stress concentrators positioning modes and determination of the stress concentration factor using FEM. Establishing cracking scenarios to determine the characteristics of the crack

This paper shows the Sandals effects of variable stresses acting on structures, the positioning modes of stress raisers, as well as the determination of stress concentration factor and the establishment of some cracking scenarios in order to determine the main characteristics of the crack.The problem of numerical analysis of various engineering pro

Recruiting patients to a digital self-management study whilst in hospital for a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation: A feasibility analysis

Background Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are often hospitalised with acute exacerbations (AECOPD) and many patients get readmitted.Intervening with hospitalised patients may be optimal timing to provide support.Our previous work demonstrated use of a digital monitoring and self-management support tool in the community.H

Application of a New Dispatch Methodology to Identify the Influence of Inertia Supplying Wind Turbines on Day-Ahead Market Sales Volumes

Power system inertia is an essential part of grid frequency control.The number Botanicals/Herbs of synchronously connected machines, which inherently provide inertia, is decreasing due to the transition to renewable energies.Conventional generation units are being replaced by renewable generation units which are connected to the grid via frequency

Spatial Resolution of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Bacteria and Their Surrounding Immune Environments Based on Selected Key Transcripts in Mouse Lungs

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) bacilli are the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), a major killer of mankind.Although it is widely accepted that local interactions between Mtb and the immune system in the tuberculous granuloma determine whether the outcome of infection is controlled or disseminated, these have been poorly studied due to methodo
