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?

Hi! Trust this message meets you well. I am currently doing a research on the effect of tax amnesty on the tax compliance behavior of Nigerian taxpayers. As a result, I would require your help as you take some minutes to fill this online questionnaire.

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.

Dr. Neimz preprint article leaves a lot to be desired - not to mention the lack of any prediction of, or compliance with ANY observation.

We are looking for a validated method that has been used previously to assess a surface deformity.

How viAct sticks to data privacy norms to fulfill GDPR and other privacy compliance?

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.

how to conceptualize monitoring and evaluation based on compliance to occupational health and safety.

when make a study of corporate frauds and crimes , one notices always that corruption takes place when when one faces threat of punishment due to non compliance’s of laws .In india Satyam , Enron or ILFS are examples of corporate crimes arising out of non compliance’s .

The most common objective in topology optimization is to minimize compliance. The compliance is depending on the global stiffness matrix and displacement field.

How could we find the global stiffness matrix?

Finding it using hand calculations is not feasible all the time!

Note: we need to define the stiffness matrix as a function of area (pseudo density).

Hi all,

Please may I ask for some help clarifying what statistical test is most appropriate to use.

I am looking at the potential relationships / effects that conspiracy beliefs (both generic and specific) have on general compliance and covid compliance.

The questionnaires used were all likert scales, however, as per their instructions, they are all either summed or the mean is taken, therefore creating interval data.

Ass I have 2 IVs and 2 DVs, I am thinking of using a multivariate regression analysis. Is this correct?

Many thanks for your time.

Good day to all Prof and Dr.

I am seeking papers, articles, journals, or a thesis related to this topic/area.

I evaluated schools policy implementation using a Likert scale of 1-4. 1-not yet achieved 2-partially achieved 3 satisfactory 4-outstanding

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.

1. How do I get the performancesof schools without using the mean?

2. How do I compare performance across schools on all 10 variables / indicators

3. Which reliability tests should I use?

Thanks

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 am studying about Impact load resistance property of Polyurea (Elastomer). With respect to this, I need to conduct tests on this material to evaluate its material model behavior as a hyperelastic material model and Viscoelastic material model. These material models are to be used in an FEA analysis to understand its impact resistance properties. I have researched some data mentioned below about the procedure to determine the viscoelastic properties and hyperelastic properties of an elastomer material.

Kindly review it and provide your valuable comments to improve it against discrepancies incurred by me.

2. Bulk relaxation modulus ratio  

3. Relaxation time

I have gone through ASTM/ ISO codes mentioned superficially but didn’t understand a few topics for some codes. I need your valuable guidance regarding the following points.

1. specimen preparation (Dimension and Shape)

2. Testing procedure. (Constant Load & Deflection required  in test no 5 & 6)

3. Determination of properties mentioned in points (a to d) from test data output received from test no 5 & 6.

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?

Is there a fluoride home application compliance test, that would tell the use of fluoride in past week or month? Something similar to the glycated hemoglobin test that tells you your average level of blood sugar over the past 2 to 3 months.

We are evaluating telephone interventions to increase fluoride compliance for post -radiation caries patients. We would like to use something more objective than just self reported yes or no.

There is an old and semi-invasive method, but has not been used much in recent research:

I'm currently working on my thesis about hand hygiene as one of the risk factor for COVID-19. But I cannot find any available and validated full-text questionnaire for the community level since the available questionnaire more focused on healthcare compliance. Or instead, I should make new questionnaire from scratch? Every answer is welcomed.

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.

One in eight patients with cardiovascular disease fail to take medications due to cost barriers

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? Background of the question are the fears of the fines at that time (up to 20 million Euro or in the case of a company up to 4% of the total worldwide annual turnover of the previous business year). 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.

Hello everybody!

I would make an overall question as follows : What are the sources of Shari'ah Non-Compliance Risk from a practical point of view ?

Thank you all and hope getting your feedback

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. S_xx 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 ?

Looking forward for your kind help.

Hello there,

In the paper of Jakes 2008 (Experimental method to account for structural compliance in nanoindentation measurements). He said that hmax should be corrected in the presence of structural compliance (Page 8) BUT and HOWEVER, he didn't mention a detailed method to recalculate hmax. 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.
