Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFinite Element Analysis of Plasticity- Induced Fatigue Crack Closure with Singular ElementR. Rahgozar, H. Saffari, R. TabatabaeiDeveloping a new method is presented to compute crack opening values in planar geometries using the crack surface nodal force distribution under minimum loading as determined from finite element analyses (FEM). In this technique, two-dimensional elastic-perfectly plastic finite element analyses of middle-crack tension (MT) geometry is conducted to study fatigue crack closure and to calculate the crack opening values under … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,850 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAssessment of Phenotypic Plasticity in Dairy Production Traits of Toggenburg Goat Genotypes Across South African Agro-ecological ZonesMatshebuka Tshepho, Obert Tada, Louis Thobela TyasiThe study evaluated phenotypic plasticity (PP) in reproductive and milk production traits of Toggenburg (TOG) goat genotypes across five South African agro-ecological zones (AEZ) using a longitudinal observational design. Data from 2,417 does representing five genotypes (Founders, CP, Appendix A, Appendix B, and StudBook Proper) were sourced from the Milch Breeders Society of South Africa LOGIX database. Descriptive statistics and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 25 Nov 2025 · 2,378 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleImpact of Ultra Violet Radiation on Polyethylene Packaged Water Exposed at Varying Conditions: Are we Drinking Micro-Plastics?James Matthew Anayo, Victor Eshu Okpashi, Ikechukwu N.E. OnwurahThe public is worried about how their health is impacted by microplastics in sachet water. This awareness has repercussion for water producing factories and public health organization in managing health hazard associated with microplastic ingestion. Many countries in Africa, with concern to Nigeria, the act of packaging water in polyethylene materials by water producing factories has become accustomed. These packaged … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2018 · 9,915 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHormetic and Non-Hormetic Dose-Response Functions in Stress Effects on Memory and Synaptic Plasticity: Issues and MechanismsPhillip R. Zoladz, David M. DiamondOver a century of behavioral research has shown that stress can exert both positive and negative effects on memory. We have explored the idea that the complex effects of stress on learning and memory can be characterized by hormetic- and non-hormetic dose-response functions, in which stress may either stimulate or impair brain memory mechanisms, depending, in part, on the timing … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,184 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStudy on the Suitable Irrigation Amount of Microporous Membrane Water-Fertilizer Integration of Tomato in Spring in Plastic GreenhouseXiao Huaijuan, Du Qingjie, Zhang Jiaxin et al.Water-saving irrigation is an important measure to alleviate the shortage of water resources in China. In this study, the growth, nutrient distribution, quality and yield of Tomato under different irrigation treatments are studied by using microporous membrane water-fertilizer integrated technology and the optimal irrigation water quantity under the condition of microporous membrane water-fertilizer integration was determined. The results show that … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 15 Jun 2020 · 7,403 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Triune Brain: Limbic Mind Mind Plastic, Emotional MindFelice Corona, Francesco Perrotta, Carla CozzarelliProblem statement: The theory discussed is revealing, as compared to studies on the human brain, the fact that he has inherited the structure and organization of three fundamental types of reptiles, ancient or primitive mammals and mammals, or recent evolved. What is very disconcerting is that nature has been able to connect with each other and establish a sort of … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 15 Aug 2011 · 8,354 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTechnical Buckling, Stress and Strain Simplified Analysis of Semi-Slender Thin-Walled Cylindrical Pinned ColumnKrzysztof MurawskiThe stability of load-bearing members is a challenging issue for designers. The avoidance of possible stability troubles is a mandatory step of the overall design process. The paper presents and discusses two simplified methods based on the Technical Stability Theory (TSTh) of loss of stability of lateral buckling in elastic-plastic states of semi-slender columns axially compressed by force. It is … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 27 May 2021 · 6,823 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsExperimental Comparison of the Known Hypotheses of the Lateral Buckling for Semi-Slender Pinned ColumnsKrzysztof MurawskiThe paper presents the comparison of experimental results obtained from tests on semi-slender columns with pinned ends made of steel R35 to simplifications and hypotheses of loss of stability by lateral buckling in elastic-plastic states of columns axially compressed by force. The Tetmajer-Jasiński’s and Johnson-Ostenfeld’s simplifications, as well as the hypotheses given by Engesser and Kármán and Shanley, Ylinen, Březina, … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 14 Apr 2021 · 6,411 accessesView PDF Cite
