Slenderness Ratio and Influencing Parameters on the NL Behaviour of RC Shear Wall

Shear walls are very efficient structural elements to resist lateral seismic disturbance. Despite the aforementioned seismic performance, recent investigations report that they have suffered from significant structural damage after recent seismic activity, even for those complying with seismic provisions. These deficiencies in resistance and deformation capacities need to be explored. This study considers the influence of plastic length Lp, concrete compressive strength f_c28, longitudinal reinforcement ratio ρl, transverse reinforcement ratio ρsh, reduced axial load ν, confinement zone depth CS and focusing on the geometric slenderness λ. The parametric study has been conducted through NL pushover analysis using Peform3D software. The chosen coupled shear-flexure fiber macro model was calibrated with well-known cyclic experimental specimens. The paper points out the discrepancy between the two well-known codes EC8 and ASCE/SEI 41-13. In fact, the value of the slenderness ratio (λ) that trigger the beginning of a purely flexural behaviour recommended by EC8 (λ>2) is very different from the value of the ASCE/SEI 41-13 (λ>3) without accounting for the effect of the reduced axial force. Finally, it was found that RCW capacities are very sensitive to f_c28, ν, ρl, Lp and less sensitive to ρsh and CS. However, (λ) is the most decisive factor affecting the NL wall response. A new limit of slenderness and appropriate deformations of rotations are recommended to provide an immediate help to designers and an assistance to those involved with drafting codes. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091777 Full Text: PD

Left Ventricle Diverticulum with Partial Cantrell's Syndrome

Cantrell syndrome is a very rare congenital disease associating five features: a midline, upper abdominal wall disorder, lower sternal abnormality, anterior diaphragmatic defect, diaphragmatic pericardial abnormality, and congenital abnormalities of the heart. In this paper, we report a case of partial Cantrell's syndrome with left ventricular diverticulum, triatrial situs solitus, ventricular septal defect, dextrorotation of the heart, an anterior pericardial diaphragmatic defect, and a midline supraumbilical abdominal wall defect with umbilical hernia. The 5-month-old patient underwent a successful cardiac surgical procedure. A PTFE membrane was placed on the apex of the heart to facilitate reopening of the patient’s chest. Postoperative course was uneventful. The patient was discharged with good clinical condition and with a normal cardiac function

THEORETICAL APPROACH ON THE STUDY OF TURBULENT WATER FLOW OVER SMOOTH AND L-SHAPED RIBLETS SURFACES

A very important research effort has been developed at many world laboratories these last years in order to reduce the friction drag. For the aircraft and the submarine applications, friction contributes respectively for about 50% and 70% of the total resistance. The use of surface modifications riblets as a means of reducing viscous drag on a body has potential aerodynamic and hydrodynamic applications. In the present study, the theoretical approach allow to determine the velocity field, the wall shear stress, the local skin friction, the boundary layer thickness, the laminar sub layer thickness and the dimensionless drag coefficient. The results found, indicate that the presence of L-shaped riblets surfaces provide changes in the characteristics of the turbulent boundary layer, which are in favor of wall skin friction. Un effort très important a été fourni ces dernières années à travers les laboratoires du monde dans le domaine de la réduction de traînée visqueuse. Pour les avions de transport et les sous marins, la traînée visqueuse contribue respectivement d’environ 50% à 70% de la résistance totale. L’utilisation des modifications au niveau de la surface est un moyen efficace pour réduire la traînée visqueuse dans les applications aérodynamique et hydrodynamique. Dans cette étude, l’approche théorique permis de déterminer le champ de vitesse, la contrainte de cisaillement à la paroi, le coefficient de frottement local, l’épaisseur de la couche limite, l’épaisseur de la sous couche visqueuse et finalement le coefficient non dimensionnel de traînée sont représentés. Les résultats trouvés ont montré que la présence des rainures en lames " L " fournie des changements dans les caractéristiques de la couche limite turbulente, qui sont en faveur du coefficient de frottement pariétal

DYNAMICAL STUDY OF THE FLOW ALONG A TWO-DIMENSIONAL CHANNELWITH A RIGHT ANGLED BEND

A two-dimensional incompressible laminar flow passing through a constant width channel with a ninety-degree turn is investigated. Based on the flow separation and recirculation phenomena downstream of the inner corner , a model profile for the axial velocity component is chosen. Concerning the channel segments upstream and downstream of the previous corner, the insertion of the velocity profiles (incorporating a distortion profile function) in the Navier-Stocks equations and the use of the integral method lead to a linear differential equation for the previous function. Whereas, the corresponding previous differential equation is not linear in the corner region. The analytical and numerical solutions for the first and last equations respectively are obtained and the Reynolds number Re as well as recirculation bubble effects on the flow variables are presented for () 540 Re 100 ≤ ≤ ; the experimental range of flow visualisation and measurement )L'écoulement incompressible, laminaire et bidimensionnel le long d'une conduite coudée à 90° a été étudié. En se basant sur le phénomène de séparation et de recirculation just après le coude, un modèle de profil de la composante de vitesse axiale est choisie. Concerant les deux parties en amant et en aval du coude, l'introduction du profile de vitesse (introduction du profil de la function de deformation) à l'interieur des équations de "Navier Stocks" et l'utilisation de la méthode intégrale menent à une équation différentielle linéaire dont l'inconnue est bien la fonction de déformation. Alors que, l'équation différentielle précédente est non linéaire au niveau du coude. Les solutions analytique et numérique respectivement pour la première et la dernière équation différentièlle sont obtenues. L'effet du nombre de Reynolds aussi bien de la bulle de recirculation sur les variables de l'écoulement est présenté pour 100 Re 540 ≤< (plage expérimentale de mesure et visualization)

Synthesis and coordination chemistry of 2-(di-2-pyridylamino)pyrimidine; structural aspects of spin crossover in an Fe(II) complex

This paper was accepted on February 26 20122-(Di-2-pyridylamino)pyrimidine (L), a potentially ditopic tetradentate ligand, was synthesized from commercially available di-2-pyridylamine and 2-chloropyrimidine. Despite being capable of bridging two metal atoms with bidentate chelation of both metal centres, L prefers to chelate or bridge through the more basic pyridyl donors of the di-2-pyridylamine moiety. Mononuclear trans-[Fe(NCS)2(L)2] and [Cu(L)2(H2O)](BF4)2•H2O complexes, and a discrete [Ag2(L)4](PF6)2 metallomacrocycle were isolated and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. A mononuclear palladium complex [PdCl2(L)]•(solvate), where solvate = ½H2O or CH2Cl2, was also readily obtained in 71% yield. One example of the ligand acting as a bis(bidentate) bridging ligand was observed in a dinuclear [(PdCl2)2(L)]•¾H2O complex that was obtained only in very low yield (ca. 3%) from the reaction that produced [PdCl2(L)]•½H2O. trans-[Fe(NCS)2(L)2] undergoes a temperature dependent HS-LS (HS = high spin; LS = low spin) crossover at ca. 205 K that was 2 observed by X-ray crystallography and magnetic measurements and attempts were made to understand the structural basis of this process. Despite efforts to isolate examples of L bridging two iron(II) centres, only the mononuclear trans-[Fe(NCS)2(L)2] species could be obtained.Rachel S. Crees, Boujemma Moubaraki, Keith S.

Les facteurs prédictifs de morbimortalité chez les patients sous ballon de contre pulsion intra-aortique en chirurgie cardiaque

Le ballon de contre pulsion intra-aortique (BCPIA) est fréquemment utilisé en chirurgie cardiaque, comme moyen d'assistance circulatoire en cas de bas débit cardiaque. Il est d'intérêt clinique de déterminer les facteurs pronostiques chez les patients porteurs d'un BCPIA en chirurgie cardiaque, et qui restent un sujet rarement élucidé dans la littérature. L'objectif de notre travail est de déterminer les facteurs prédictifs de morbimortalitéchez les patients sous ballon de contre pulsion intraortique en périopératoire d'une chirurgie cardiaque. Il s'agit d'une étude rétrospective portant sur l'ensemble des patients opérés en chirurgie cardiaque sous circulation extracorporelle, et ayant bénéficiés de la mise en place d'un ballon de contre pulsion intra-aortique en périopératoire, au service de chirurgie cardiovasculaire de l'Hôpital Militaire Mohamed V de Rabat, entrele mois de janvier 2005 et le mois d'aout 20014. Soixante dix patients ont été inclus dans notre étude. En analyse univariée l'âge, la dyspnée de stade III et IV, l'insuffisance cardiaque, la présence d'un infarctus du myocarde, d'une coronaropathie mono et bitronculaire, les anomalies du doppler de trons supra-aortique et du membre inférieur, le caractère urgent de la chirurgie, la durée de la circulation extracorporelle, l'instabilité hémodynamique postopératoire, le saignement et l'insuffisance rénale postopératoire étaient statistiquement associés à une mortalité postopératoire élevée. La dyskinésie préopératoire et la sortie de circulation extracorporelle sous drogues étaient associées à une morbidité globale élevée. En analyse multi variée, seule l'âge, constituait un facteur de risque indépendant de mortalité dans notre série avec un Odds Ratio (OR): 1,89 ; un Intervalle de Confiance (IC) 95% de (1,52-4,97) et un p =0,045. Au terme de notre étude, le taux de mortalité était de 48,57% et de morbidité globale était de 87,1%. Il nous parait donc nécessaire pour diminuer l'incidence de cette morbimortalité dans notre population, d'agir sur les facteurs que nous jugeons modifiables tels l'amélioration de la fonction cardiaque préopératoire, l'optimisation de la fonction rénale, la réduction de la durée de CEC et le contrôle du saignement

Interpreting Reactor Antineutrino Anomalies with STEREO data

Anomalies in past neutrino measurements have led to the discovery that theseparticles have non-zero mass and oscillate between their three flavors whenthey propagate. In the 2010's, similar anomalies observed in the antineutrinospectra emitted by nuclear reactors have triggered the hypothesis of theexistence of a supplementary neutrino state that would be sterile i.e. notinteracting via the weak interaction. The STEREO experiment was designed tostudy this scientific case that would potentially extend the Standard Model ofParticle Physics. Here we present a complete study based on our full set ofdata with significantly improved sensitivity. Installed at the ILL (InstitutLaue Langevin) research reactor, STEREO has accurately measured theantineutrino energy spectrum associated to the fission of 235U. Thismeasurement confirms the anomalies whereas, thanks to the segmentation of theSTEREO detector and its very short mean distance to the core (10~m), the samedata reject the hypothesis of a light sterile neutrino. Such a directmeasurement of the antineutrino energy spectrum suggests instead that biases inthe nuclear experimental data used for the predictions are at the origin of theanomalies. Our result supports the neutrino content of the Standard Model andestablishes a new reference for the 235U antineutrino energy spectrum. Weanticipate that this result will allow to progress towards finer tests of thefundamental properties of neutrinos but also to benchmark models and nucleardata of interest for reactor physics and for observations of astrophysical orgeo-neutrinos.<br
