The cyclic actions due to waves, currents and winds on offshore platforms frequently cause fatigue cracks at hot-spot locations.The socialstudiesscholar.com remaining fatigue life of such connections depends significantly on the fatigue driving force often measured by the stress-intensity factors.This study examines the fatigue performance of tubul
Urban agglomerations are becoming an increasingly important factor in advancing regional development and reshaping a new pattern of regional competition.However, few studies are focused on the impact of expanding urban agglomerations on reducing carbon emissions and its possible mechanism.Based on 285 city-level panel data from 2006 to 2017, this p
Abstract Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) established from tissues from various tumor types gave the foundation of ex vivo models to screen and/or validate the activity of many cancer drug candidates.Due to their phenotypic and genotypic similarity to the tumor of which they were derived, PDOs offer results that effectively complement those obtaine
Abstract Background A more extensive surgical resection of glioma contributes to improved overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS).However, some patients miss the chance of surgical resection when the tumor involves critical structures.Purpose The present study aimed to assess the feasibility of neoadjuvant 125I brachytherapy follo
In this paper, a Lyapunov-based method is used in order to determine the stability boundaries of here the grid-connected voltage source converter (VSC).To do so, a state space model of the VSC is used to form the Lyapunov function of the system.Then, by using the eigenvalues of the Lyapunov function, the system stability boundaries will be determin
