Analisis Perpindahan Besar Akibat Gaya Non-Konservatif
Structural applications based on large displacement analysis are widespread in various fields, such as the application of aircraft structures, membranes, cables, pipelines and risers. In this study, the author reviews the structural responses based on large displacement theory and non-conservative load models, assuming linear sections and materials. The parameters reviewed are the variation of the load factor and the variation of the slope angle of the load P at the end of the span. Solving non-linear differential equations with non-conservative force, using numerical integration method. The simulation results with the variation of the load factor with the angle of inclination, vertical and horizontal displacements are obtained, where the final orientation of the acting force corresponds to the deformation of the structure, and the maximum deformation occurs at a load angle of 90o, the deformation decreases for the angle orientation is getting smaller.Structural applications based on large displacement analysis are widespread in various fields, such as the application of aircraft structures, membranes, cables, pipelines and risers.

Nonlocal calculation for nonstrange dibaryons and tribaryons
We study the possible existence of nonstrange dibaryons and tribaryons by
solving the bound-state problem of the two- and three-body systems composed of
nucleons and deltas. The two-body systems are , , and
, while the three-body systems are , ,
, and . We use as input the nonlocal ,
, and potentials derived from the chiral quark cluster
model by means of the resonating group method. We compare with previous results
obtained from the local version based on the Born-Oppenheimer approximation.Comment: 19 pages. To be published in Physical Review
Expansion of Vortex Cores by Strong Electronic Correlation in LaSrCuO at Low Magnetic Induction
The vortex core radius \rv, defined as the peak position of the supercurrent
around the vortex, has been determined by muon spin rotation measurements in
the mixed state of \lscox for , 0.15, and 0.19. At lower doping (x=0.13
and 0.15), \rv(T) increases with decreasing temperature T, which is opposite to
the behavior predicted by the conventional theory. Moreover, \rv(T\to0) is
significantly larger than the Ginsburg-Landau coherence length determined by
the upper critical field, and shows a clear tendency to decrease with
increasing the doping x. These features can be qualitatively reproduced in a
microscopic model involving antiferromagnetic electronic correlations.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, to be published in Phys. Rev.
Parity Violation in Proton-Proton Scattering
Measurements of parity-violating longitudinal analyzing powers (normalized
asymmetries) in polarized proton-proton scattering provide a unique window on
the interplay between the weak and strong interactions between and within
hadrons. Several new proton-proton parity violation experiments are presently
either being performed or are being prepared for execution in the near future:
at TRIUMF at 221 MeV and 450 MeV and at COSY (Kernforschungsanlage Juelich) at
230 MeV and near 1.3 GeV. These experiments are intended to provide stringent
constraints on the set of six effective weak meson-nucleon coupling constants,
which characterize the weak interaction between hadrons in the energy domain
where meson exchange models provide an appropriate description. The 221 MeV is
unique in that it selects a single transition amplitude (3P2-1D2) and
consequently constrains the weak meson-nucleon coupling constant h_rho{pp}. The
TRIUMF 221 MeV proton-proton parity violation experiment is described in some
detail. A preliminary result for the longitudinal analyzing power is Az = (1.1
+/-0.4 +/-0.4) x 10^-7. Further proton-proton parity violation experiments are
commented on. The anomaly at 6 GeV/c requires that a new multi-GeV
proton-proton parity violation experiment be performed.Comment: 13 Pages LaTeX, 5 PostScript figures, uses espcrc1.sty. Invited talk

Stress corrosion crack (SCC) growth rates at room temperature for peak- and over-aged tempers in saline environments are minimized for Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys containing less than ~8 wt pct Zn when Zn/Mg ratios are ranging from 2 to 3, excess magnesium levels are less than 1 wt pct, and copper content is either less than ~0.2 wt pct or ranging from 1.3 to 2 wt pct. A minimum chloride ion concentration of ~0.01 M is required for crack growth rates to exceed those in distilled water, which insures that the local solution pH in crack-tip regions can be maintained at less than 4. Crack growth rates in saline solution without other additions gradually increase with bulk chloride ion concentrations up to around 0.6 M NaCl, whereas in solutions with sufficiently low dichromate (or chromate), inhibitor additions are insensitive to the bulk chloride concentration and are typically at least double those observed without the additions. DCB specimens, fatigue pre-cracked in air before immersion in a saline environment, show an initial period with no detectible crack growth, followed by crack growth at the distilled water rate, and then transition to a higher crack growth rate typical of region 2 crack growth in the saline environment. Time spent in each stage depends on the type of pre-crack (“pop-in” vs fatigue), applied stress intensity factor, alloy chemistry, bulk environment, and, if applied, the external polarization. Apparent activation energies (E a) for SCC growth in Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys exposed to 0.6 M NaCl over the temperatures ranging from 293 K to 353 K (20 °C to 80 °C) for under-, peak-, and over-aged low-copper-containing alloys (~0.8 wt pct), they are typically ranging from 20 to 40 kJ/mol for under- and peak-aged alloys, and based on limited data, around 85 kJ/mol for over-aged tempers. This means that crack propagation in saline environments is most likely to occur by a hydrogen-related process for low-copper-containing Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys in under-, peak- and over-aged tempers, and for high-copper alloys in under- and peak-aged tempers. For over-aged high-copper-containing alloys, cracking is most probably under anodic dissolution control. Future stress corrosion studies should focus on understanding the factors that control crack initiation, and insuring that the next generation of higher performance Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys has similar longer crack initiation times and crack propagation rates to those of the incumbent alloys in an over-aged condition where crack rates are less than 1 mm/month at a high stress intensity factor
Star clusters near and far; tracing star formation across cosmic time
© 2020 Springer-Verlag. The final publication is available at Springer via https://doi.org/10.1007/s11214-020-00690-x.Star clusters are fundamental units of stellar feedback and unique tracers of their host galactic properties. In this review, we will first focus on their constituents, i.e.\ detailed insight into their stellar populations and their surrounding ionised, warm, neutral, and molecular gas. We, then, move beyond the Local Group to review star cluster populations at various evolutionary stages, and in diverse galactic environmental conditions accessible in the local Universe. At high redshift, where conditions for cluster formation and evolution are more extreme, we are only able to observe the integrated light of a handful of objects that we believe will become globular clusters. We therefore discuss how numerical and analytical methods, informed by the observed properties of cluster populations in the local Universe, are used to develop sophisticated simulations potentially capable of disentangling the genetic map of galaxy formation and assembly that is carried by globular cluster populations.Peer reviewedFinal Accepted Versio

Método de determinação e avaliação da depleção de oxitetraciclina em camarão marinho Method for the determination and evaluation of oxytetracycline depletion in marine shrimp
O objetivo deste trabalho foi validar um método para determinação de resíduos de oxitetraciclina (OTC) em camarões, por meio de cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência, e avaliar, pelo método validado, a depleção de resíduos de OTC em camarões in vivo. Para a validação, foram utilizados camarões isentos de OTC e camarões adicionados de OTC in vitro. Foram estabelecidos: seletividade, tempo de retenção, linearidade (coeficiente de correlação), faixa de trabalho, recuperação relativa, limites de detecção e quantificação do método (LDM e LQM, respectivamente) e repetibilidade. Para o experimento in vivo, rações com 200, 400 e 500 μg g-1 de OTC foram administradas aos camarões durante 14 dias. Foi avaliada a concentração do resíduo desse antibiótico no músculo e na carapaça até 22 dias após a suspensão da droga. O coeficiente de correlação linear foi de 0,9997 para o extrato fortificado da matriz, na faixa de trabalho de 0,02 a 0,4 μg g-1; a recuperação foi de 106±17,1% e os LDM e LQM foram de 0,006 e 0,019 μg g-1, respectivamente. O tempo de residência da droga na carapaça dos animais (de 10 a 13 dias) foi maior em comparação ao tempo de residência no músculo (5 dias).<br>This work aimed at validating a method for the determination of oxytetracycline (OTC) residues in shrimp by means of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and at evaluating the OTC residue depletion in shrimps in vivo using the validated method. The shrimp used for validation were either not submitted or submitted to in vitro OTC addition. Selectivity, retention time, linearity (correlation coefficient), work range, relative recovery, detection and method quantification limits and repeatability were determined. For the in vivo experiment, shrimp were fed with feed medicated with OTC at 200, 400 and 500 μg g-1 for 14 days. Oxytetracycline residue concentration in the animals' muscle and carapace was assessed for up to 22 days after stopping medication. The results obtained were: 0.9997 linear correlation coefficient for the fortified matrix extract within a work range of 0.02-0.4 μg g-1, 106±17.1% recovery and 0.006 and 0.019 μg g-1 detection and quantification limits, respectively. A greater OTC residence time was observed in the carapace (10 to 13 days) when compared to the muscle (5 days)
