Particle breakage continuously changes the grading of granular materials and has a significant effect on their mechanical behaviors.Revealing the evolution pattern of particle breakage is valuable for development and validation of constitutive models for crushable materials.A series of parallel triaxial compression tests along the same loading path
Background.An estimated 159 million children under five are affected by malnutrition, with an additional 101 million children under five being underweight in sub-Saharan Africa.In Namibia, 24% of children under age 5 are stunted and 8% are severely stunted.The Kavango region has the highest rate of stunting (38.8%) in the country.Objective.The purp
The development of closed-loop circuit realizations of chaotic synchronization and control is considered a promising aspect of analog electronics.Therefore, this paper explores the use of the sigr function in the implementation Football - Shoes - Junior of finite-time terminal sliding mode control.A CFOA-based implementation of the sigr function is
Population-based febrile respiratory illness surveillance conducted by the Department of Defense contributes to an estimate of vaccine effectiveness.Between January and March 2011, 64 cases of 2009 A/H1N1 (pH1N1), including one fatality, were confirmed in immunized Brass Flare T-Union recruits at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, suggesting insufficien
