This paper examines the dynamic response of machine foundation resting on sand mixed with granular rubber of sizes (0.07-3) mm to improve the vibration attenuation and to reduce the settlement of the foundation.Granular rubber used is the product of hashing scrap tyres to small pieces in a tyre factory of Babylon in Iraq.Forty Model tests were carr

This paper argues that the modern secularization thesis is in the first place an explanation of the past of European societies and their colonial offshoots and that, contra its critics, it was not intended as a universal template.Such momentous historical changes cannot simply be repeated if only because, while the secularization of Europe was Tire

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with cardiac metastasis represents a group of rarity and poor prognosis.Few case reports have described this patient entity, and it plastic plate remains unclear regarding the optimal treatment and predicted outcome for these patients.In our case, we represented a 67-year-old female patient with presentations of dyspn

An integrated study of Foraminifera, Ostracoda and lithostratigraphy was conducted on samples of the Tepetate Formation from the Arroyo Colorado locality, Baja California Dog Sur (Mexico).Based on the planktonic Foraminifera, Acarinina pentacamerata (latest lower Eocene) and Hantkenina nuttalli (earliest middle Eocene) zones were recognized that in

Metamaterials have been attracting tremendous interests due to their exotic electromagnetic characteristics, such as sub-wavelength imaging and invisibility cloak.However, the appreciable loss arising from the inherent resonant nature of metamaterials plagues many of their engineering applications.In this paper, we derive the condition Drinks for a
