STATIC ANALYSIS OF ELASTIC CABLE STRUCTURES UNDER MECHANICAL LOAD USING DISCRETE CATENARY THEORY


Silicone Structural Glazing Under Blast Loading

Silicone sealants have a long history of successful use in high performance windows and curtainwalls, such as structural glazing (bonding) systems which can contribute to bomb blast mitigating window designs.Previous experimental work illustrated the increase in strength and elongation for silicone sealants at the typically higher strain rates of b

Effects of kangaroo mother care combined with nurse-assisted mindfulness training for reducing stress among mothers of preterm infants hospitalized in the NICU: a randomized controlled trial

Abstract Background Kangaroo mother care (KMC) can have a positive effect on the mental well-being of a mother.However, there are specific challenges associated with the process that may contribute to increased anxiety for the mother.By integrating nurse-assisted mindfulness training alongside KMC guidance, nurses may effectively alleviate maternal
