RISA Novel Single-Photon Counting Technique Applied to Highly Sensitive Measurement of [Ca2+]i Transient in Human Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study demonstrates that aequorin, a luminescent natural dye, is useful for vascular cell intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) determination. A new single-photon counting technique was ...
Three-Dimensional Identification of Semi-Elliptical Crack on the Back Surface by Means of Direct-Current Electrical Potential Difference Method With Multiple-Probe Sensor (PVP2006-ICPVT-11-93359)
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cracks are popular defects initiated in structural components and their accurate evaluation is very important to assure the reliability of various plants. The direct-current electrical potential ...
Electric Field Analysis of Simultaneous Evaluation of Crack on an Inner Pipe Surface and Pipe Wall Thickness Using Direct-Current Potential Difference Method of Multiple-Probe Type
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The direct-current potential difference method (DC-PDM) is a promising nondestructive technique for evaluating cracks in the conductors on the basis of change in current paths or the potential ...
Water Migration Phenomenon in Concrete in Postpeak Region
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An experimental and analytical study on pore-water pressure occurring in the postpeak region of concrete due to the external load is performed to investigate the mechanism of water migration in concrete. In the experiment, ...
Water Migration Phenomenon Model in Cracked Concrete. I: Formulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A mathematical model for water migration in concrete that changes from a homogeneous to a nonhomogeneous material due to its loading history is developed in detail. In the proposed model, concrete is assumed to be composed ...
Water Migration Phenomenon Model in Cracked Concrete. II: Calibration
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The material parameters to express the degree of discontinuity of hydraulic gradient in the developed model (Part I) are calibrated based on the sensible analysis of the experimental results, and then the applicability of ...
Modeling of Water Migration Phenomenon in Concrete as Homogeneous Material
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A mathematical model for water migration in concrete as a homogeneous material (one that does not contain cracks) is developed in detail. In the proposed model, concrete is assumed to be composed of aggregate, cement paste, ...
Water Migration Phenomenon in Concrete in Prepeak Region
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An experimental and analytical study on pore-water pressure occurring in the prepeak region of concrete due to the external load is performed to investigate the mechanism of water migration in concrete. In the experiment, ...
Tension Stiffness Model for Cracked Reinforced Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: It is known that the consideration of tension stiffening effect resulting from bond slip between reinforcement and surrounding concrete is very effective for the deformation analysis of reinforced concrete members. In the ...
The Top With a Blunted Vertex Slipping With Light Friction at a High Rate of Spin
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The problem of determining the motion of a top is a classic example of a complex analysis in analytical dynamics. Adding a blunt tip to the top and setting it spinning on a surface with ...
