Analysis of failure behaviour of the anisotropic rocks in the point load index test
Abstract The strength and deformational behaviour of rocks under loading conditions are important in underground excavations, mining and every civil engineering constructions as it determines the stability of such structures. This study aims to augment the existing know-how on such behaviour through analysis of point load tests conducted

Association between one-hour post-load plasma glucose levels and vascular stiffness in essential hypertension [PDF]
Objectives: Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a surrogate end-point for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. A plasma glucose value $155 mg/dl for the 1-hour post-load plasma glucose during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is able to identify ...

Reliability and evaluation of point load index values obtained from different testing devices [PDF]
In some rock mass classification methods, the point load index (PLI) value is used as a parameter in the determination of the class of rock mass. The PLI value may be used as a design parameter such as uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and tensile strength (TS), owing to its being simpler, faster, and cheaper and easier to prepare than the specimens ...
