Fabricated steel beam specimens with rectangular holes cut in
the webs were subjected to load tests to analyze the behavior of the
modified section. Beam-depth to hole-depth ratio was in all cases
2.0; however, ratio of hole length to hole height varied from 2.0 to
3.0. The primary instrumentation of...
Many methods in use today for the isolation, purification, and
identification of the staphylococcal enterotoxins involve lengthy
steps with significant loss of enterotoxin, are subject to interference
from contaminating sample components, and lack sufficient specificity.
Culture extracts of enterotoxin producing Staphylococcus
aureus strains (enterotoxins A-E), crude enterotoxin preparations
(enterotoxins A-E),...
Mixing of ferrite tracer with silica sand was studied in a 0.91 m
x 0.91 m cold fluidized bed. Inductance probes located Inside dummy
heat transfer tubes [in a 4 x 4 x 4 array] were used to monitor a
ferrite tracer with physical properties similar to coal as it...
