This paper presents a preliminary finite element model in Strand7 software to analyse creep and shrinkage effects on the prestressed concrete ribs of the Sydney Opera House as remarkable heritage. A linear static analysis was performed to investigate the instantaneous impacts of dead and wind loads on the complex concrete structure which was comple...
The design, development and deployment, alongside with preventive maintenance of equipment helps with controlling safety issues in water bottling processes. However, these aspects are not-enough to prevent accidents / they must be closely related to the implementation of quality, occupational health and safety, and food security standards. The appr...
Determining the ideal size of maintenance staff is a daunting task, especially in the operation of large and complex mechanical systems such as thermal power plants. On the one hand, a significant investment in maintenance is necessary to maintain the availability of the system. On the other hand, it can significantly affect the profit of the plant...
S’il n’est pas exclu que certains associent encore le notaire aux plumes d’oies et aux archives poussiéreuses, ce ne serait pas rendre justice à la remarquable mutation que la profession a connue sous l’influence du progrès technique qu’elle s’est toujours fait force d’intégrer avec vélocité. L’écriture à la main outillée de la plume, puis d’un sty...
In order to provide timely, reliable, and comprehensive data for the maintenance of highly stressed geometries in sheet-bulk metal forming tools, this article features a possible setup by combining a 3D measuring endoscope with a two-stage kinematic. The measurement principle is based on the projection of structured light, allowing time-effective m...

The study aimed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of vedolizumab in a real-life cohort of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases enrolled at a tertiary referral center. Data were retrospectively collected from August 2016 to November 2018. The primary outcomes were clinical response and remission at 14, 24, and 52 weeks, and steroid-...
This study demonstrates the capability of a cloud model in simulating a real-world tornado using observed radiosonde data that define a homogeneous background. A reasonable simulation of a tornado event in Beijing, China, on 21 July 2012 is obtained. The simulation reveals the evolution of a descending reflectivity core (DRC) that has commonalities...
Za pripravo kakovostne tehnološke vode smo v diplomski nalogi izvedli načrtovanje ultrafiltracijskega sistema z vsemi ključnimi komponentami, katerega smo v želji po višji učinkovitosti nadgradili s konvencionalnim postopkom filtracije, sistemom za recikliranje pralne vode in z nadzornim sistemom za zajem podatkov ter podali stroškovno oceno načrto...
Maintenance optimization has received special attention among the wind energy research community over the past two decades. This is mainly because of the high degree of uncertainties involved in the execution of operation and maintenance (O& / M) activities throughout the lifecycle of wind farms. The increasing complexity in offshore maintenance...
Climate conditions affect buildings&rsquo / performance and durability. The purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of climate conditions on roof deficiencies. 763 cases of such deficiencies were analyzed in this regard. Once the construction deficiencies were quantified, they were characterized from a climatological point of view and the...
