Estimation of Tendon Force Distribution in Prestressed Concrete Girders Using Smart Strand
Applied Sciences, 2017 The recently developed smart strand offers the possibility of measuring the prestress force of the tendon from jacking and all along its service life. In the present study, a method estimating the force distribution in all the tendons of a prestressed ...

Sequencing double-stranded DNA by strand displacement [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 1997 Duplex probes with five base single-stranded overhangs can capture dsDNA targets from type IIS restriction nuclease digests. Ligation generates a predesigned nick site, where DNA polymerase can generate sequencing ladders by strand displacement or nick translation in the presence of trace amounts of dideoxynucleotides.

Validation of whole genome sequencing from dried blood spots
BMC Medical Genomics, 2021 Background Dried blood spots (DBS) are a relatively inexpensive source of nucleic acids and are easy to collect, transport, and store in large-scale field surveys, especially in resource-limited settings.

Impact of hyperthyroidism on in-hospital outcomes of patients with heart failure
Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives, 2021 Congestive heart failure (CHF) exacerbations are a frequent cause of hospitalization. Thyroid hormones impact myocardial function; elevated levels of thyroxine, as seen in hyperthyroidism (HT), can worsen CHF symptoms.

Enhanced Strain Measurement Range of an FBG Sensor Embedded in Seven-Wire Steel Strands
Sensors, 2017 FBG sensors offer many advantages, such as a lack of sensitivity to electromagnetic waves, small size, high durability, and high sensitivity. However, their maximum strain measurement range is lower than the yield strain range (about 1.0%) of steel ...

Structured transverse orbital angular momentum probed by a levitated optomechanical sensor
Nature Communications, 2023 The momentum carried by structured light fields exhibits a rich array of surprising features. In this work, we generate transverse orbital angular momentum (TOAM) in the interference field of two parallel and counter-propagating linearly-polarised ...

A Sensor-Type PC Strand with an Embedded FBG Sensor for Monitoring Prestress Forces
Sensors, 2015 Prestressed Concrete Wire and Strand (PC) strands are the most used materials to introduce prestress in a Pre-Stressed Concrete (PSC) structure. However, it is difficult to evaluate the final prestress force of the PC strand after prestressing or its ...
