SEISMIC PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF SHAPE MEMORY ALLOY (SMA) REINFORCED CONCRETE BRIDGE BENTS UNDER LONG-DURATION MOTION

Seismic Performance Evaluation of Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) Reinforced Concrete Bridge Bents Under Long-Duration Motion

The emergence of Ovulation Test the Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) rebar has paved the way toward resilient bridge design through improved post-earthquake functionality.The focus of this study is to numerically examine the effects of SMA rebar inclusion on the seismic performance of a reinforced concrete (RC) bridge bent under long-duration motions and p

Differential target multiplexed spinal cord stimulation using a paddle-type lead placed at the appropriate site for neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury in patients with past spinal surgical histories: study protocol for an exploratory clinical trial

Abstract Background Neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury (SCI), both traumatic and non-traumatic, is refractory to various treatments.Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is one of the neuromodulation therapies for neuropathic pain, although SCS has insufficient efficacy for neuropathic pain after SCI.The reasons are presumed to be inappropriate loca
