Sea cucumber mariculture is an important emerging field of practice and applied research in the coastal tropics.This is due to the existing CASEIN importance of tropical sea cucumber fisheries for wealth generation and poverty reduction, and the potential for mariculture to contribute to the longer term sustainability of these fisheries while gener
Against Social Kind Anti-Realism
The view that social kinds (e.g., money, migrant, marriage) are mind-dependent is a prominent one in the social ontology literature.However, in addition to the claim that social kinds are Nightstand mind-dependent, it is often asserted that social kinds are not real because they are mind-dependent.Call this view social kind anti-realism.To defend t
Dynamic response of RC frames retrofitted with friction-damped brace system through shaking table tests
This study presents the shaking table test results of two-dimensional reinforced concrete (RC) frames retrofitted with a simplified friction damped brace.An easy-to-manufacture and install friction damper with economical design, was proposed and tested under reversed cyclic loading and used to retrofit RC frames.The splice of a conventional steel b
Rat dorsal horn neurons primed by stress develop a long-lasting manifest sensitization after a short-lasting nociceptive low back input
Abstract.Background:.A single injection of nerve growth factor (NGF) into a low back muscle induces a latent sensitization of rat dorsal horn neurons (DHNs) that primes for a manifest sensitization by a subsequent second NGF injection.Repeated restraint stress also causes a latent DHN sensitization.Objective:.In this study, we investigated whether
Multi-objective Optimization Design of Wet Friction Clutches
The drag torque of the wet clutch affects the efficiency of the transmission, and the engagement torque of the clutch affects the reliability of the transmission.However, reducing the drag torque and increasing the engagement torque are generally contradictory.This study takes the wet friction clutch as the research object, and takes the inner diam
