Abstract: Abstract. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) involves maternal hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and inflammation, impairing placental function through overexpression of nutrient transporters and altered vascular responses. ...

Abstract: Urban water supply headworks systems are usually designed to provide high security against drought. The best way to evaluate this security is to use Monte Carlo simulation which is computationally expensive. The advent of ...

Abstract: Simulation models in conjunction with synthetic multiple hydro-climate replicates provide the most realistic assessment of the performance of urban water supply headworks systems. However, optimization using such models ...

Abstract: The finitetime synchronization for the highdimensional chaotic system is studied. A method is derived from the finitetime stability theory and adaptive control technique. To show the wider applicability of our method, an ...

Abstract: Due to the various requirements of users and large volume of machine tools, most machine tool manufacturers are adopting the smalllot production mode, which largely prolongs the product development cycle. To raise the ...

Abstract: Sheet metal forming of parts with microscale dimensions is gaining importance due to the current trend toward miniaturization, especially in the electronics industry. In microforming, although the ...

Abstract: The cone penetration test is widely used to interpret the undrained shear strength of soil. The interpretation methods are commonly based on bearing capacity, cavity expansion, or strain-path methods. In this paper, the ...

Abstract: Using conjugate heat transfer calculations, the heat transfer in straightthrough labyrinth seals with and without rub damages (bending and mushrooming damages) were numerically investigated. Firstly, the numerical methods ...
