Investigation of the Failure Mechanisms of Intact and Deteriorated Culverts
… degrees of deterioration. A total of six deteriorated pipe specimens were created. Two dimensional maps of the remaining wall thickness of each specimen were then developed using an ultrasonic thickness gauge, showing that the average remaining wall thicknesses for the samples ranged from …

Preserved, Deteriorated, and Premorbidly Impaired Patterns of Intellectual Ability in Schizophrenia
… in schizophrenia, patterns suggesting preserved, deteriorated, and premorbidly impaired intellect have also been identified. The main purpose of this investigation was to examine the clinical, cognitive, and neuroanatomical characteristics of these intellectual subtypes, and to establish the value …

Structural Condition Assessment and Service Load Performance of Deteriorated Prestressed Concrete Deck Beam Bridges
… longitudinal joint and reduce overloading of a deteriorated beam. Participation factors must be based on relative bending moments of one beam with respect to the total amount of bending moment produced by the applied load and not to the amount of total vertical displacement. The participation …

Gas heat transfer in a heated vertical channel under deteriorated turbulent heat transfer regime
… acceleration effect. These phenomena lead to a Deteriorated Turbulent Heat Transfer (DTHT) regime. To predict accurately the cladding temperature at the hot spot, reliable heat transfer correlations that account correctly for these effects are needed. This work addresses this need by …

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Retrofits to Increase the Flexural Capacity of Deteriorated Steel Members
… retrofitting techniques were implemented on deteriorated in-service steel bridge structures. This research was the first to retrofit deteriorated in-service bridge structures with HM CFRP strand sheets in the United States. This in situ testing was used to compare the laboratory test data of …

Impact of Wastewater Effluent on Surface Water Resistomes in a Small Lower-Income Community with Deteriorated Sewage Infrastructure
Antimicrobials are known for their lifesaving benefits, but their widespread use has increased selective pressure favoring the development of resistant bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Consequently, this has led to a global antimicrobial resistance (AMR) crisis associated with an …

Metagenomic characterization of Candidatatus Defluviicoccus tetraformis TFO71, a tetrad-forming organism, predominant in an anaerobic-aerobic membrane bioreactor with deteriorated biological phosphorus removal
… anaerobic-aerobic membrane bioreactor with deteriorated enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR), Defluviicoccus-related tetrad-forming organisms (DTFO) were observed to predominate in the microbial community. Using metagenomics, a partial genome of the predominant DTFO, “Candidatus …

Specifics of forced-convective heat transfer to supercritical CO2 flowing upward in vertical bare tubes
… coefficient values treating them as a sign of a deteriorated (as opposed to normal) heat transfer regime. There were recent attempts to address this shortcoming and extend the applicability of conventional empirical correlations to the deteriorated heat transfer regime. However, these attempts …

Influence of Pregnancy on Renal Function and Feturs in Women with Underlying Renal Disease
… (n=10), cases where the renal function deteriorated after delivery were three (9.7%) and five (50.0%) respectively. The group with preconception proteinuria less than 3.5 g/day (n=24) compared to the group that had levels exceeding 3.5 g/day (n=9), the cases where renal function …

Heat transfer to supercritical water flowing in short vertical bare tube and rod-bundle geometries
… heat transfer regimes (Normal, Improved and Deteriorated) were observed, with stable behavior under unchanged conditions. Helical ribs had minimal impact on Heat Transfer Coefficients (HTCs) but increased the minimum HF for Deteriorated Heat Transfer Regime (DHT) onset by 1.6–1.8 times …
