Indicators of loss of consciousness in slaughter without stunning: a neuroanatomical reappraisal [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science
Minimizing animal suffering during slaughter depends on appropriate pre-slaughter handling, technique, and post-slaughter assessment. The post-slaughter phase must include rapid determination of loss of consciousness (LOC) using scientifically based ...

Pre-failure indicators detected by Acoustic Emission: Alfas stone, cement-mortar and cement-paste specimens under 3-point bending

open access: yesFracture and Structural Integrity, 2018
Acoustic Emission (AE) is the technique most widely used nowadays for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). Application of this technique for continuous SHM of restored elements of stone monuments is a challenging task.

Non-Extensive Statistical Mechanics in Acoustic Emissions: Detection of Upcoming Fracture in Rock Materials

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Acoustic emission (AE), recorded during uniaxial compressive loading with constantly increasing stress and stepped stress increments until the fracture of prismatic marble specimens, were analyzed in terms of non-extensive statistical mechanics (NESM ...

Detecting Criticality by Exploring the Acoustic Activity in Terms of the “Natural-Time” Concept

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
The acoustic activity developed in marble specimens under various loading schemes is explored in terms of the recently introduced F-function. The novelty of the study is that instead of describing the temporal evolution of the F-function in terms of ...

Correlation of Acoustic Emissions with Electrical Signals in the Vicinity of Fracture in Cement Mortars Subjected to Uniaxial Compressive Loading

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
Acoustic emissions (AEs) and weak electrical signals, also known as pressure stimulated currents (PSCs), were concurrently recorded in order to investigate their behavior and detect precursory indicators when cement mortar specimens were subjected to ...

Optical strain based pre-failure indication in failure process of geomaterials [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2016
AbstractMultilevel extended digital image correlation (X-DIC) technique based on finite element method (FEM) is applied for measuring deformation of geomaterials under uni-axial loading condition. The concept of Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is introduced for smoothing computed displacements as well as for calculating strain tensors at every ...

Treatment outcomes of drug resistant tuberculosis patients with multiple poor prognostic indicators in Uganda: A countrywide 5-year retrospective study

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Tuberculosis and Other Mycobacterial Diseases, 2021
Background: Comorbid conditions and adverse drug events are associated with poor treatment outcomes among patients with drug resistant tuberculosis (DR – TB). This study aimed at determining the treatment outcomes of DR – TB patients with poor prognostic

Application of oXiris-continuous hemofiltration adsorption in patients with sepsis and septic shock: A single-centre experience in China

open access: yesFrontiers in Public Health, 2022
oXiris is a new, high-adsorption membrane filter in continuous hemofiltration adsorption to reduce the inflammatory response in sepsis. The investigators retrospectively reviewed patients with sepsis/septic shock who underwent at least one oXiris ...
