Damage Progression in Open-Hole Tension Composite Laminates by the Element-Failure Method
… technique known as the Element-failure method (EFM) is proposed, which assumes that the nodal forces of a finite element of a damaged composite can be modified to achieve the decrease of load-carrying capacity. The EFM is implemented to a 3D implicit finite element code to model the damage …

i-MOM: Improving Maternal-fetal Outcome Monitoring
… States is use of an electronic fetal monitor (EFM), which is employed to predict and eliminate hypoxic injury during birth. However, since inception of the EFM in the 1960s, incidence of hypoxic injury has remained nearly the same. Riddled with conflicting and confusing data, the EFM often …

Team-Based Care To Support Physiologic Birth: A Review Of Literature
… maternity practice, electronic fetal monitoring (EFM), and cesarean delivery. Intermittent auscultation (IA) was considered proxy for physiologic birth practice and was examined in the research comparing IA to EFM. The data were organized according to major content area then synthesized to …

A new model for electric force microscopy and its application for electrostatically generated phase difference in tapping mode AFM
… to model and simulate electric force microscopy (EFM) and electrostatically generated phase difference in tapping mode AFM (EPTA) measurements. Simulations show that the harmonic force balance approach matches and explains EFM and EPTA experimental results well. Simulations also show that the …

Switching mechanisms, electrical characterisation and fabrication of nanoparticle based non-volatile polymer memory devices.
… charging via electrostatic force microscopy (EFM) was demonstrated, using a novel device structure involving depositing gold nanoparticles between lateral electrodes. This allowed the gold nanoparticles themselves to be imaged, rather than the nanoparticle loaded insulating films, which have …

Urea supplementation in rumen and post-rumen for cattle fed a low-quality tropical forage
… The highest efficiency of microbial production (EFM) was observed (P<0.10) when urea was partially or totally supplied in the abomasum, and the lowest EFM (P<0.10) occurred for the control. The amount of urea recycled to the gastrointestinal tract was increased (P<0.10) by providing urea. The …
