The investigation of stress field and plastic zone distribution at the closed crack tip provides a fundamental basis for failure analysis and life prediction of geotechnical materials.Closed crack is a common crack in geotechnical materials.Studying the distribution of stress field and plastic zone at the tip of closed crack can provide theoretical
For energy efficient scheduling of task graphs on multiprocessors, dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) and duplication are two widely used techniques.DVFS is generally used to utilize the execution slack by lowering Shampoo the voltage and frequency of a task to decrease the dynamic energy consumption.Whereas duplication decreases the sche
Abstract Background One of the most challenging tasks in wildlife conservation and management is clarifying which and how external and intrinsic factors influence wildlife demography and long-term viability.The wild population of the Crested Ibis (Nipponia nippon) has recovered to approximately 4400, and several reintroduction programs have been ca
Adolescence is a critical period of development with increased sensitivity toward psychological stressors.Many psychiatric conditions emerge during adolescence and animal studies have shown that that acute stress has long-term effects on hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis function and behavior.We recently demonstrated that acute stress produces lo
Many wastes are commonly produced during the ceramic tiles manufacturing process such as: Roller kiln grinding waste, cyclone dust waste, 1100 and ceramic sludge.Those wastes are landfilled because they have been predictable to be less conducive to recycling.In this study, the recyclability of the mentioned wastes is enhanced to minimize natural re
