Due to the high degree of improvement and prediction success of ab initio calculations, the advance in Materials Science has been partially shifted from the empirical chemical quest of new compounds to the systematic ...

To address a common problem of teaching the sliding filament theory (that is, students have difficulty in visualizing how the component proteins of the sarcomere differ, how they organize themselves into a single working ...

In this work two fiber optic sensing techniques are used to study the dimensional stability in fresh state of different cementitious materials. A conventional Portland cement mortar and two commercial grouts were selected. ...

This work studies the integrated lot sizing and cutting stock problem, where the goal is to capture the dependency that exists between two important decisions in the production process, in order to economize raw materials ...

The human body involves a large number of systems subjected to contact stresses and thus experiencing wear and degradation. The limited efficacy of existing solutions constantly puts a significant financial burden on the ...

Beyond the inherent attribute of reducing the dimensionality of the problem, the attraction of the Boundary Element Method (BEM) to deal with fracture mechanic problems is its accuracy to solve strong geometrical ...

It can be concluded that condensation silicones have a low dimensional stability. High stability condensation silicones are currently under development; however, no physico-chemical evidence to support this affirmation has ...
