The Carter Constant for Inclined Orbits About a Massive Kerr Black Hole: I. circular orbits [PDF]
, 2010 In an extreme binary black hole system, an orbit will increase its angle of inclination (i) as it evolves in Kerr spacetime. We focus our attention on the behaviour of the Carter constant (Q) for near-polar orbits; and develop an analysis that is ...

The impact of loads on standard diameter, small diameter and mini implants: A comparative laboratory study [PDF]
, 2008 Objectives: While caution in the use of small-diameter (≤3.5 mm) implants has been advocated in view of an increased risk of fatigue fracture under clinical loading conditions, a variety of implant designs with diameters

Comparative study on indoor fungi growth incorporated with different antifungal and wall finishings [PDF]
, 2017 Indoor air quality is important to the health and comfort of building occupants. There are many sources of pollutants that can be found in the building. One of the sources of pollutants is fungus. Fungi are present almost everywhere in indoor and outdoor

Dynamic impedances of bridge abutments [PDF]
, 1992 The soil-structure interaction at bridge abutments may introduce important changes in the dynamic properties of short to medium span bridges. The paper presents the results obtained, through the use of the Boundary Element Method (B.E.M.) technique in ...

Hypersurfaces and the Weil conjectures
, 2009 We give a proof that the Riemann hypothesis for hypersurfaces over finite fields implies the result for all smooth proper varieties, by a deformation argument which does not use the theory of Lefschetz pencils or the l-adic Fourier transform.Comment: 12 ...

Integral Bridge for High-Speed Railway [PDF]
, 2011 The structural continuity of fully integral bridges entails many advantages and some drawbacks. Among the latter, the cyclic expansions and contractions of the deck caused by seasonal thermal variations impose alternating displacements at the piers and ...

Field Testing of Integral Abutments, Interim Report, HR-399, 1998 [PDF]
, 1998 Integral abutment bridges are constructed without an expansion joint in the superstructure of the bridge; therefore, the bridge girders, deck, abutment diaphragms, and abutments are monolithically constructed.
