Accurate identification of tension in multiwire strands is a key issue to ensure structural safety and durability of prestressed concrete structures, cable-stayed bridges, and hoist elevators.This paper proposes a method to identify strand tensions based on scale energy entropy spectra of ultrasonic guided waves (UGWs).A numerical method was Genera
Evaluation of Non-Conventional Biological and Molecular Parameters as Potential Indicators of Quality and Functionality of Urban Biosolids Used as Organic Amendments of Agricultural Soils
Biosolids POOL ACCESSORIES are waste from wastewater treatment and have a high content of organic matter and nutrients.In this study, not conventional physicochemical and biological properties of biosolids produced during different seasons of the year were evaluated.These properties are not considered in environmental regulations; however, they are
An Efficient Dummy-Based Location Privacy-Preserving Scheme for Internet of Things Services
With the rapid development of GPS-equipped smart mobile devices Range Accessories and mobile computing, location-based services (LBS) are increasing in popularity in the Internet of Things (IoT).Although LBS provide enormous benefits to users, they inevitably introduce some significant privacy concerns.To protect user privacy, a variety of location
Changed Expression of Cytoskeleton Proteins During Lung Injury in a Mouse Model of Streptococcus pneumoniae Infection
Infections by Streptococcus pneumoniae are a Heat Pump major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, often causing community-acquired pneumonia, otitis media and also bacteremia and meningitis.Studies on S.pneumoniae are mainly focused on its virulence or capacity to evade the host immune system, but little is known about the injury caused in l
