High strain-rate tensile testing and viscoplastic parameter identification using microscopic high-speed photography

A combined experimental/numerical method for determination of constitutive parameters in high strain-rate material models is presented. Impact loading, using moderate projectile velocities in combination with small specimens (sub mm) facilitate tensional strain rates in the order of 10(4)-10(5) s(-1). Loading force is measured from one-dimensional wave propagation in a rod using strain gauges and A combined experimental/numerical method for determination of constitutive parameters in high strain-rate material models is presented. Impact loading, using moderate projectile velocities in combination with small specimens (sub mm) facilitate tensional strain rates in the order of 104–105 s−1. Loading force is measured from one-dimensional wave propagation in a rod using strain gauges and deform

Effects of gradual benzodiazepine taper during a fixed 10-day schedule: a pilot study

The aim of this pilot study was to investigate clinical symptoms during a 10-day benzodiazepine (BZD) taper procedure. Twenty-one BZD-dependent patients attended a fixed 10-day inpatient tapering program. The patients developed mild to moderate withdrawal symptoms. Concomitant codeine dependence and initially high BZD serum levels were associated with a worse prognosis.

Overtakes and dwell time delays for Japanese commuter trains

Reducing train delays important in many countries, even in those like Japan, where punctuality is already high. There is a clear pattern across the literature that the delays typically occur at stations and are recovered on line sections. Previous work has shown that one explanation for this is that trains interact at stations. When trains have different speeds or stopping patterns, overtakes are Reducing train delays important in many countries, even in those like Japan, where punctuality is already high.

A Comparative Study of Railway Planning, Operations and Delays in Japan and Sweden

Japan is well-renowned in the international community for its expertise in high-capacity, punctual railway operations. Particularly the high-speed trains, the Shinkansen, are very well known and respected internationally, but the knowledge outside Japan is more limited regarding more conventional lines, commuter trains, and the metro. Despite this, during rush hours trains in the Tokyo area can be

Nociceptive inhibition of withdrawal reflex responses increases over time in spinalized rats

Time-dependent changes of nociceptive inhibition of hindlimb withdrawal reflex (WR) pathways were investigated in acute decerebrate spinal rats. Electromyographic recordings of WR of peroneus longus and extensor digitorum longus muscles were made. For each muscle, both short and long latency WR evoked by subcutaneous electrical stimulation and WR evoked by noxious pinch could be inhibited by noxio
