Effect of Geotextile Reinforcement on Shear Strength of Sandy Soil: Laboratory Study

Studia Geotechnica et Mechanica, 2016
This paper presents results of a series of undrained monotonic compression tests on loose sand reinforced with geotextile mainly to study the effect of confining stress on the mechanical behaviour of geotextile reinforced sand.

Digit Ratio (2D:4D): A Biomarker for Prenatal Sex Steroids and Adult Sex Steroids in Challenge Situations [PDF]

, 2014
Digit ratio (2D:4D) denotes the relative length of the second and fourth digits. This ratio is considered to be a biomarker of the balance between fetal testosterone (T) and estrogen (E) in a narrow window of early ontogeny.

Effects of cyclic loading on lateral bearing capacity of single pile in silty seabed

Yantu gongcheng xuebao
Under larger wave loading, the bearing capacity of marine single pile foundation will be reduced, even instability occurs. A series of undrained shear triaxial tests on the remolded marine silt in Hangzhou Bay are carried out by means of the GDS triaxial

Injection molded noil hemp fiber composites: interfacial shear strength, fiber strength, and aspect ratio

, 2016
Noil hemp fiber-reinforced polypropylene composites were fabricated using intermixer and injection molding machines. X-ray microtomography and Weibull statistical methods were employed to characterize the aspect ratio distributions of noil hemp fibers in

Borrowing strength: a likelihood ratio test for related sparse signals [PDF]

Bioinformatics, 2012
Abstract Motivation: Cancer biology is a field where the complexity of the phenomena battles against the availability of data. Often only a few observations per signal source, i.e. genes, are available. Such scenarios are becoming increasingly more relevant as modern sensing technologies generally have no trouble in measuring lots of ...

Effects of inclusion size and stress ratio on fatigue strength for high-strength steels with fish-eye mode failure

, 2013
Experimental results indicate that the fatigue life reduces by about two orders of magnitude when inclusion size doubles. Then, a model is proposed for predicting the fatigue strength of high-strength steels with fish-eye mode failure based on the ...

Grip strength ratio: a grip strength measurement that correlates well with DASH score in different hand/wrist conditions [PDF]

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2014
Grip strength correlates with personal factors such as gender, age and nutritional status and has a good inter-rater reliability. It reflects fairly well how much people can use their hands.The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) Outcome Measure 3 is a 30-item, self-report, questionnaire that reflects the patients' opinion on their ...
