Bracing elements and their connections have played a key role in the steel bracing frame energydissipation through yielding and buckling.Whereas it is normally expected that gusset plates yield and buckleafter that of bracing elements.Moreover, bracing elements buckling go with the plastic hinge formation ingusset plates.However, the Stickers geome
Prevalence of acute adverse reactions among whole blood donors: A 7 years study
Background: Donor reaction has the most negative impact on the blood donor return rate.Amelioration of some adverse events has the potential to meaure improve return rate.This study was initiated with the aim to determine the frequency of various adverse reactions.Materials and Methods: The study was conducted over a period of 7 years and 1 month,

A systematic review of nonpharmacological interventions to reduce procedural anxiety among patients undergoing radiation therapy for cancer
Abstract Procedural anxiety is a concern for a number of patients undergoing radiation therapy.While procedural anxiety is often treated pharmacologically, there is a clinical need for effective alternative strategies for patients who are contraindicated from medication use, and those who prefer not to take unnecessary medications.Objectives The pr
Use of piezoelement in ultrasound generation
At present, ultrasonic (piezoelectric) transducers are the most promising electromechanical transducers for use in miniature electronic devices.However, the PSP calculation of the piezoelectric element for an ultrasonic environment poses certain problems due to the large number of problems to be solved and its nonlinearity.The article describes the
