Bearing Capacity of the Working Platform with Kinematic Method
Bearing capacity of the working platform for heavy tracks was analysed using Distinct Layout Optimization (DLO) method. The platform layer constructed from cohesionless soils is resting on weak cohesive subgrade.

Dedicated TEM study from the core structure of adiabatic shear bands in dynamical deformed Ti6Al4V [PDF]
Metals and alloys deformed at high strain rates, which are occurring during impact or metal forming situations can suffer from premature failure due to the introduction of so called adiabatic shear bands (ASB).

Immune mechanisms in heart failure [PDF]
Elevated levels of circulating pro‐inflammatory biomarkers in patients with both ischaemic and non‐ischaemic heart failure (HF) correlate with disease severity and prognosis. Experimental studies have shown activation of immune response mechanisms in the heart to provoke cardiac adverse remodelling and cause left ventricular dysfunction.

Plastic mechanisms for thin-walled cold-formed steel members in eccentric compression. [PDF]
The Eurocode 3 concerning thin-walled steel members divides members subjected to compression into four classes, considering their ductility. The representatives of the class C4 are short bars, for which the load-capacity corresponds to the maximum ...

Nuclear factor κB-inducing kinase activation as a mechanism of pancreatic β cell failure in obesity [PDF]
The nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) pathway is a master regulator of inflammatory processes and is implicated in insulin resistance and pancreatic β cell dysfunction in the metabolic syndrome.

Erosion, corrosion and erosion-corrosion of EB PVD thermal barrier coatings [PDF]
Electron beam (EB) physical vapour deposited (PVD) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) have been used in gas turbine engines for a number of years. The primary mode of failure is attributed to oxidation of the bond coat and growth of the thermally grown ...

Discretionary policy, strategic complementarity and tax evasion. A strategic analysis of the Italian audit mechanism [PDF]
Underlying this work is the idea that there is a problem of strategic complementarity of individuals who choose to evade. Complementarity results from the discretionary policies of governments and the strategic implications of the Studi di Settore ...
