Telecommunication towers are essential infrastructure in today's fast-paced world. Lattice self-supporting towers, monopole towers, and guyed towers are the three types of structures that can be used for telecommunications towers. When analyzing telecom tower loads, wind loads are the most important ones to address. As a result, it is necessary to choose an appropriate structure that can withstand
Communication towers are vital assets in our daily lives as they transfer signals between cell phones facilitating communication and commerce among people and businesses all around the world. Wind loads are crucial in the communication towers design since they are tall and slender. With climate change bringing more storms and higher wind speeds, it is more crucial to research the finest tower
Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with inflammatory nature. One of the leading causes of death in SLE patients is cardiovascular (CVS) morbidity. MiRNA-24 is highly expressed in vascular endothelial cells (VECs). This dysregulated expression pattern is associated with dysfunction or even damage of VECs and leads to the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases
Introduction: Soil polluted with Nickel (Ni) adversely affects sunflower growth resulting in reduced yield. Counterbalancing Ni toxicity requires complex molecular, biochemical, and physiological mechanisms at the cellular, tissue, and whole plant levels, which might improve crop productivity. One of the primary adaptations to tolerate Ni toxicity is the enhanced production of antioxidant enzymes
The flow inside a solid rocket motor is considered taking into account the fluid-solid interaction between the combustion gases and the burning grain surface. An unsteady flow model is presented for the flow variables while the time-dependent burning surface is captured using the level set method. Then, a hybrid model is presented by coupling the flow model with the interface capturing technique
The lightweight refractory high entropy alloys (RHEAs) can be considered the best alternative to Ni-based superalloys, which has significantly increased the attention of researchers. In this study, the newly designed lightweight (ρ ∼ 6.2 g/cm3) Al0.5Ti2Nb1Zr1WX (X: 0, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7) RHEAs were prepared. Our results evidence that the microstructure of Al0.5Ti2Nb1Zr1W0.5 RHEA has a BCC structure
Anhydrous ammonia is a cheaper source of nitrogen (N) fertiliser than granular urea for rice production, but it is not widely used in developing countries. It can only be applied pre-crop with any in-crop applications being applied in the form of urea. This 2-year study conducted in the Nile delta region of Egypt compared pre-crop anhydrous ammonia injected to a depth of 20 cm with broadcast urea
Aim The aim of this research was to study serum vitamin D and micro-ribonucleic acid-146a (miRNA-146a) expression in dry eye disease (DED) associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and their clinical correlations to DED parameters. Setting and design This is an observational cross-sectional study that was conducted at Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt. Patients and methods The study participants were
Robot dynamic modeling and parameter identification are essential for many analyses. High-fidelity multi-body dynamics simulators can model the robot's dynamic behavior, but they can't identify the robot's non-linear dynamic model needed for controller design. This study proposes a three-step machine-learning framework for extracting the dynamic equations of serial manipulators from data. This
Impairments in the sensorimotor system negatively impact the ability of individuals to perform daily activities autonomously. Upper limb rehabilitation for stroke survivors and cerebral palsy (CP) children is essential to enhance independence and quality of life. Robot assisted therapy has been a bright solution in the last two decades to promote the recovery process for neurological disorders
