From the tensile machine we can calculate de modulus from the displacement/gauge length from the machine (stroke) and use a non-contact video extensometer. The extensometer gives higher (and more precise) values comparing with the stroke. Now, the video extensometer is not working and i need to know the value of the modulus. How i can find the compliance of the machine to add in the modulus calculated by the stroke? I have some previous measurements both with machine and extensometer that are correct, can i take some value for the extensometer and add for the stroke and have a more realistic modulus? Which means i would need to add some value in the compliance of the stroke and find the new modulus. I just don't know how to do that. Can someone help me?

I am currently undertaking a research on quality assurance in construction by first assessing the level of compliance of building construction projects and then determining restraining forces which hinder and driving forces which promote adherence to quality assurance procedures in building construction. Is this a good basis for development of a quality assurance framework?
You can read my response here:
this is a short response. There are links that lead you to other responses and more support to my ideas and theory.
Here I also presented my objections to three models:
a) Banerjee et all
b) Tuomo's Suntola
c) Markolf H. Niemz.
If you read my response you will realize that I respect Dr. Suntola's dedication and precise reasoning but I disagree with the basic assumptions. That said, I think it is worthwhile to read it carefully, have my theory as the basis, and check the validity of conclusions that weren't based upon the problematic hypotheses. The work was detailed and might hide valuable contributions. I didn't have the time to work on both theories. My theory keeps me busy. I suppose that is Dr. Suntola's problem also.
I consider replacing Dark Matter and Dark energy with a negative surface tension of a m-brane not a contribution to Physics.

Hello, first off all my question may be badly formulated since this is my first interaction with viscoelastic behavior, from what I understand the creep compliance is somehow the equivalent of the compliance matrix in elasticity except for the fact that it is depended on time ( and maybe temperature) because it takes into account the the viscous behavior of the material.
From what i understand, in order to "separate" the viscous behavior from elastic behavior we need to subject our samples to constant loads over a period of time, thus we obtain strain vs time graphs for different loads which helps us see if the material is linear viscoelastic or nonlinear by analyzing the isochronals.
Now back to my question, it appears to me that the simplest way to determine the creep compliance tensor components, do we use the data obtained from the constant loading tests I mentioned earlier, specifically the isochronals obtained for every moment to calculate the every particular component of creep compliance tensor at that moment, and then use some kind of mathematical fitting (power laws for example) to obtain the creep compliance as a function of time.
Please tell me if the method that I explained is the way to proceed or if it's just nonsense.

RQ1: What is the extent of policy implementation in the different schools
There were 74 likert items divided into 10 likert scales / variables. I doesn't make sense to get the mean as these are ordinal data. My sample size is small, so I suppose non parametric methods will be appropriate.

2. How do I compare performance across schools on all 10 variables / indicators
3. Which reliability tests should I use?

I am currently using the asymptotic homogenization method to predict the elastic properties of a porous structure. The software I've been using only supports homogenization of an RVE with an isotropic base material, but in reality the base material will be transversely isotropic (the elastic constants of this material are known). Is there any way to take the compliance matrix resulting from the homogenization with an isotropic material and transform it to account for the transverse isotropy of the base material? For instance, if I know the Zener ratio of the base material, can that somehow be used to transform the structure properties?

I would like to anticipate the idea why research activities in the academe is not usually adapted or been used by third parties in behalf of its purpose: I mean the purpose of their research. Consequently, college and post graduate schools require thesis products for graduation requirement intents, but, the idea is just for the compliance purpose of the course program; and what about being endorsed to important third parties such as government institutions as to be used as basis for policy making. I see the lapses in that point and that it is ironic that some educational institutions are better and very hard working dealing on their research activities and publications and yet their studies are minimally recognized by their government for policy making and protocols, in which, in this way, the idea or the effort of scholars doing such ingenuity will be usable as it get beneficiaries in hand. Studying is not that easy, why not support or maybe the university or educational institution must endorse their research products to nearby jurisdictional policy makers for the better and best of the community in nearby future. I am just wondering why that research products are treated that way not on the exact way that studies and experiment of these experts must be commended for being excellent in such field they had chosen as proven by the research studies they have done. Is it because it lacks support from their respective government? Is it because their government does not appreciate the efforts of their research scholars and enthusiasts? Or maybe, Do these research products are not totally important in the political maneuvers of their place?

Hello,
we are conducting cytotoxicity tests since over an year and aren't able to get a stable test. We are no in the validation phase but there are some effects we can't explain. Here is an overview how we conduct the test in compliance with DIN EN ISO 10993-5:
- Seeding 1 x 10^4 cells in a 96-well plate (except the outer wells) --> incubate for 24 h
- Adding medical device extracts (100%, 50%, 10%, 1%) and controls:
- positive control: 1% Triton X (P)
- negative control: cell media (N)
- blank (B): media that was shaken with cell culture media for 24 h at 37 °C in the same kind of container like the medical device was shaken (in compliance with DIN EN ISO 10993-12)
- Incubation for 24 h
- Discard the media and add 50 µl MTT solution (10 mg/ml) --> incubate for 2 h
- Discard and add 100 µl Isopropanol --> incubate for 30 min
- Read out with microplate reader
See the pictures below...the cells are all the time okay until extracts and controlls are added...So something must happen at this point. Sometimes the negative control dies randomly. Sometimes the blank dies. Sometimes only one extract dilution which makes no sense. Does anyone have an idea?
Many thanks!

We understand that 'virtual assets' or crypto assets are now a permanent part of our planet but for many including institutions dealing with these assets, these pose a huge legal hassle. This is due to the compliance sector (especially (AML) therefore the gut feeling is these virtual assets be better avoided than addressed. The second critical problem relates to their classification in the books and dealing with smart contracts on their acquisition.

An important step towards more compliance in companies was taken: Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2019 on the protection of persons who report breaches of Union law (the so-called Whistleblower Directive) was published in the EU Official Journal of 26 November 2019. The directive now introduces an EU-wide minimum standard for the protection of whistleblowers. Under the new rules, companies with more than 50 employees will be required to set up secure channels for reporting breaches. The scope of the Directive is limited to reporting violations of EU law. Member States may, however, go beyond the minimum standard when transposing the Directive so that the national legislator has the possibility to extend the scope to breaches of national law. How do you assess the situation in your country? Will the possibility of extending it to national law be used?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been in force since May 2018 and thus for almost a year. Do you know of cases in which fines were imposed for violating the requirements of the GDPR? How high were these fines and which companies were affected?

To what extent were these fears justified?

We can say without a doubt that CPAP improves not only a sleep apneic patient‘s sleep quality — but also can improve brain perfusion by oxygen - during sleep.
So why do so many predominantly males diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) refuse such easily aable and relatively cheap therapy, when offered a CPAP machine?
Why does sleeping with a CPAP carry with it such a negative connotation? Is it really about discomfort? Because many OSA patients will swear by their CPAP machine and won’t travel far without it, once they get used to it...
Does anyone have any statistics regarding reasons to refuse CPAP therapy? Anecdotal evidence? I would be interested to hear.

Often times, a pure metal is described as isotropic because the mechanical properties do not vary with direction. However, I recently learned that Young's modulus changes with direction according to the equation attached. Sxx is compliance and l,m,n are the direction cosines.
So then are any materials truly isotropic, or is that an assumption we tend to make

Hi All,
I am new to composite laminates and to computational as well,
I will do some experimental work, but I already have done some computational work including obtaining the 3D compliance and stiffness matrices and apparent engineering properties,
May I ask what is the meaning of those terms related to the experimental analysis like tensile, flexural, how can I validate my code with the experimental work.
Does it mean, I predict the behaviour of the laminate by introducing the behaviour for each laminae ?

Hello there,
In the paper of Jakes 2008 (Experimental method to account for structural compliance in nanoindentation measurements).

Does anyone know how to recalculate hmax please?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi guys! send me some help on articles and research related to this. I'm a 4th yr. student in our university and we are currently making our research paper hope to hear from you soon !!
In the raw data of a standard Oliver-Pharr nanoindentation test, only the contact stiffness of the indented material is available, and thus only the compliance of the indented material is available. But in my case, i would like to trace Ct (toal compliace, which is the sum of frame compliance and compliance of the indented sample) against the square root of Pmax , according to 'Stone, Yoder, and Sproul' method (SYS Plot). Could anyone please tell me how can i obtain the total compliance during a standard nanoindentation test please ? This is urgent.
A huge thank-you for anyone answering my question.
Sincerely,
Yangcan
Im currently trying to finalise my topic for a masters reseach report and my interest is on public participation. Mainly to identify the loop holes on the processes that are in place for public participation, whether its done just for compliance and who actually gets to participate. But its proved rather challenging to frame the topic in a way that it will be researchable.
