Abstract This paper presents the computational-based ballistic limit of laminated metal panels comprised of high strength steel and aluminium alloy Al7075-T6 plate at different thickness combinations to necessitate the weight reduction of existing armour sony c steel plate.The numerical models of monolithic configuration, double-layered configurati
A note on computing average state occupation times
Objective: This review discusses how biometricians would probably compute or estimate expected waiting times, led cocktail smoker if they had the data.Methods: Our framework is a time-inhomogeneous Markov multistate model, where all transition hazards are allowed to be time-varying.We assume that the cumulative transition hazards are given.That is,
Homogeneous nucleation rates of nitric acid dihydrate (NAD) at simulated stratospheric conditions – Part II: Modelling
Activation energies ΔGact for the nucleation of nitric acid dihydrate (NAD) in supercooled binary HNO3/H2O solution droplets were calculated from volume-based nucleation rate measurements using the AIDA (Aerosol, Interactions, and Dynamics in the Atmosphere) aerosol chamber of Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe.The experimental conditions covered te
Methods of the physical medicine therapy in prevention of heterotopic ossification after total hip arthroplasty
Background/aim: In the prevention of periarticular heterotopic ossification (HO), a common complication after total hip arthroplasty (THA), nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAID) and irradiation are used.Some theories presume that local hypoxia of the soft tissue causes HO.The aim of this study was to investigate if the early use of pulsed ele
