Abstract:

Highway engineers, when asked to state the safety of a particular design, are usually at a loss to give a single meaningful measure as is possible in structural or geotechnical engineering. This paper outlines a method to estimate the margin of safety and reliability index for isolated highway components. The stopping sight distance is used to demonstrate the method. The method uses the basic highway design equations. On the assumption that the variables are random, the expected value of the mean and the variance are estimated; and from these the margin of safety and the reliability index are

Abstract:

Background: Kienbock’s disease is a rare and debilitating condition. The decision for surgical intervention majorly depends on the extent of the carpal collapse. Therefore, the accurate measurement of carpal collapse is of critical importance. Objectives: The current study assessed the inter and intra-observer reliability of the three most frequent methods in measuring carpal height and determining carpal collapse. Methods: Fifty-Nine photocopied radiograms were reviewed by three observers (one senior orthopedic resident, one fellowship-trained hand surgeon, and one senior radiology resident)

Abstract:

Complex selection indexes are proposed for bulls of Holstein cattle in the Czech Republic. Partial breeding values for milk performance, fertility and body conformation are combined in the index. Conformation is expressed either by linear classification or by general characteristics and body measurements. Variants according to the traits included in breeding objective and in performance recordingwere tested &ndash; breeding objective comprised milk, meat, milkability, health, reproduction, longevity; production traits and linear classification of body conformation or production traits and

Purpose – The construction and use of composite indicators has recently increased considerably because such indicators permit the comparison and ranking of countries with respect to complex phenomena of global importance. Together with the diffusion of these composite indicators, a major debate has emerged over their real capacity to produce objective and reliable results. The paper aims to discuss these issues.

Abstract:

Balanced cantilever construction phases are of great importance for the total life cycle processes of super long-span cable-stayed bridges. For assessment purpose, a systematic study on the reliability evaluation of these phases is carried out. Taking Sutong bridge as the sample structure studied, a series of load and resistance models are then established on the basis of field measurement. Using all these achievements, a typical phase of girder segment 6# lifting is chosen for reliability evaluation. Results of the analysis show that the established models are quite representative and reflect

To date, there has been little research on the motivation underlying engagement and adoption of telehealth systems. Given this, the present study tested a new measure, the mHealth Technology Engagement Index (mTEI), across two student samples ( N = 191). Participants interacted with two types of telehealth devices or two types of telehealth interfaces, then reported their motivation to engage with these devices or interfaces. The purpose of this res
