On Adequacy of Two-point Averaging Schemes for Composites with Nonlinear Viscoelastic Phases

Acta Polytechnica, 2004
Finite element simulations on fibrous composites with nonlinear viscoelastic response of the matrix phase are performed to explain why so called two-point averaging schemes may fail to deliver a realistic macroscopic response. Nevertheless, the potential

Novel Mutations in  the TAZ Gene in  Patients with Barth Syndrome

Prague Medical Report, 2013
Barth syndrome is an X-linked recessive disorder that is caused by mutations in  Taffazin gene (TAZ), leading to severe cardiolipin deficiency which results in respiratory chain dysfunction. Barth syndrome is characterized by cardiomyopathy, neutropenia,

Simple Numerical Model of Laminated Glass Beams

Acta Polytechnica, 2008
This paper presents a simple Finite Element model aimed at efficient simulation of layered glass units. The approach is based on considering the independent kinematics of each layer, tied together via Lagrange multipliers.

Is Consciousness primary? [PDF]

, 2008
Six arguments against the view that conscious experience derives from a material basis are reviewed. These arguments arise from epistemology, phenomenology, neuropsychology, and philosophy of quantum mechanics.

Effects of Y and Ho doping on microstructure evolution during oxidation of extraordinary stable Hf-B-Si-Y/Ho-C-N films up to 1500 °C

Materials & Design
Hard, and optically transparent amorphous Hf6B12Si29Y2C2N45 and Hf5B13Si25Ho3C2N48 films were prepared by reactive pulsed dc magnetron co-sputtering and annealed up to 1500 °C in air.

Homogenization of composites with interfacial debonding using duality-based solver and micromechanics

Computer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science, 2017
One of the key aspects governing the mechanical performance of composite materials is debonding: the local separation of reinforcing constituents from matrix when the interfacial strength is exceeded. In this contribution, two strategies to estimate the

Novel Mutations in the Tyrosine Hydroxylase Gene in the First Czech Patient with Tyrosine Hydroxylase Deficiency

Prague Medical Report, 2012
Tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency manifests mainly in early childhood and includes two clinical phenotypes: an infantile progressive hypokinetic-rigid syndrome with dystonia (type A) and a neonatal complex encephalopathy (type B).
