The nonlinear dynamic responses of a wire rope under periodic excitation in a friction hoisting system are investigated.Longitudinal excitation experiments of different periodic excitation frequencies are performed.The nonlinear dynamic THICKENING SHAMPOO characteristics of the rope, including transverse, longitudinal, and coupled vibrations, are d
Buildings are one of the systems that more energy consumed in the European Union.The study of the thermal envelope is interesting in order to reduce the energy losses.For that, a mathematical model able to predict the system response to external Sponges temperature variations is developed.With the mathematical model, different thermal envelope elem
Biomphalaria glabrata (B.glabrata) is an air-breathing aquatic mollusc found in freshwater habitats across the Western Hemisphere.It is most well-known for its recognized capacity to act as a major intermediate host for Schistosoma mansoni, the human blood fluke parasite.Ionotropic receptors (IRs), a variant family of the ionotropic glutamate recep
Background: Seizure duration has long been measured as a potential marker of ECT treatment efficacy, with concern that short seizures may be clinically ineffective.Relatively small studies have documented a trend towards shorter seizures during acute course ECT, but data from large cohorts would help provide normative data on seizure duration chang
Planning the operation scheduling with optimization heuristic algorithms allows microgrids to have a convenient tool.The developments done in this study attain this scheduling taking into account the impact of energy storage useful life in the microgrid operation.The scheduling solutions, proposed for the answer of an optimization problem, are obta
