Civilian Occupational Exposure to Vapors, Gas, Dust, or Fumes and Respiratory Health Among United States Military Veterans

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background We investigated associations of self‐reported and job exposure matrix (JEM) assigned civilian occupational exposure to vapors, gas, dust, or fumes (VGDF) with respiratory symptoms among previously deployed US Veterans. Methods An interviewer‐administered questionnaire ascertained self‐reported civilian occupational VGDF exposure.

Effect of soil-pile contact parameters on pile bearing capacity value [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
The soil and foundation elements are fundamental to the behavior of a structure. When the foundation soil has a low capacity, it is necessary to transmit the loads to a deeper and more resistant layer, using deep foundations.

Technological features of arrangement Continuous Flight Auger piles (CFA) in clay soils [PDF]

Bases and Foundations, 2019
Recently bored piles are widespread. Bored piles are produced by drilling borehole with its subsequent concreting and reinforcement. The main complication in the manufacture of these piles is to ensure the stability of the borehole walls while filling them with concrete.

Multimorbidity and Associations with Cognition and Alzheimer's Disease Biomarkers

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Multimorbidity, the coexistence of 2 or more chronic conditions, has been linked to cognitive aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD‐related dementias, yet the mechanisms remain unclear. We aimed to examine the associations of multimorbidity with cognition and biomarkers across multiple mechanistic pathways.

THE INFLUENCE OF REPEATED STATIC LOADING ON CFA-PILE SETTLEMENT

Bridges and tunnels: Theory, Research, Practice, 2015
Purpose. To investigate the influence of repeated static preloading on CFA-pile settlement.  To conduct two cycles of large diameter CFA-pile field tests with pressing loading after a stress-relief period. Methodology. The first pile preloading was performed after a 28-day stress relief period, the repeated pile preloading - in 26-day period.
