1. Effect of hCG application at different moments of the estrous cycle on corpus luteum and uterine vascularization and serum progesterone concentration in mares

Abstract Establishment of pregnancy after embryo transfer is the ultimate goal of an embryo transfer program and increasing pregnancy rates and reducing pregnancy loss are mandatory. The utilization of treatments to improve conception rates in recipient mares has been the focus of several research groups over the last years and the results are controversial.

3. HDL-PARTICLES SEPARATION EMPLOYING DIFFERENT PRECIPITATING AGENTS: FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES OF THE IMPACT OF CHEMICAL PRECIPITATION ON LIPOPROTEIN PARTICLE-SIZE AND PARAOXONASE-1-ACTIVITY

First-generation methods used to quantify HDL-cholesterol have been used for decades. Therefore, first-generation precipitatingreagents still in use, the chemical impact on HDL-particles functionality (structure/activity-relationship) is not well-documented. The study aim was to identify the most efficient precipitating-reagent for lipoprotein separation to

4. Productivity and Superficial Quality of an Aspherical Die Using CAD/CAM

ABSTRACT Nowadays, it is hard to imagine modern industry without the manufacturing and design software aided by computer, known as CAD/CAM, once the search for excellence in complex geometry parts, reduced time, quality assurance and interchangeability is increasing. Within this quest, the CAD/CAM platform has become a significant factor in manufacturing, es

5. On-load Back-EMF Optimization Based on the Back-EMF MST Method and Parametric Optimization

Abstract This paper proposes an optimal design for a surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous machine (SM-PMSM) based on parametric optimization process to reduce the on-load Back-EMF distortions caused by an increase in the electromagnetic load and in the saturation. Unlike conventional methods described in the literature, the optimization approach prop

6. Enhancement the Fatigue Life of Floating Breakwater Mooring System Using Tuned Liquid Column Damper

Abstract Safety is a key design criterion for floating structures. A high rate of mooring accidents has been reported over the past decades. Preventing mooring line failure is a key design objective for floating breakwater systems. The mooring system comprises sets of mooring lines anchored to the seabed. These components are exposed to highly cyclic nonline

7. Evaluation of the resistance of trussed slabs with steel formwork in cold formed U profile

Abstract In the last decades, the modernization in structural engineering has increased the use of steel-concrete composite and hybrid systems for slabs, when the adherence in the interface of the materials is present or not, respectively. In addition to the traditional steel deck, a similar solution for precast trussed slabs has been used for small construc

8. FE Modeling and Seismic Performance Evaluation of Hybrid SMA-Steel RC Beam-Column Joints

Abstract Severe permanent deformations of buildings during earthquakes have been found as one of the major causes of the instability and failure of structures. The application of superelastic Shape Memory Alloy rebars at the plastic hinge region of reinforced concrete beam-column joints (SESMA-BCJs) can eliminate the seismic residual deformations. Such self-

9. A Novel Fractal Multi-band Frequency Selective Surface

Abstract In this paper, a new multiband fractal frequency selective surface (MF-FSS) is proposed. The work presents a new fractal design methodology for FSSs with Swastika fractal patch elements. The proposed MF-FSS includes periodic arrays of metallic patches, printed on a single layer substrate. The structure parametric analysis is carried out in terms of

The main objective of this work is to present a numerical modeling of crack propagation path in isotropic functionally graded materials (FGMs) under mixed-mode loadings. The displacement extrapolation technique (DET) and the maximum circumferential stress (MCS) criterion are investigated in the context of crack growth in functionally graded beam subject to t
