DETERMINATION OF THE STRESS-STRAIN CURVE IN SPECIMENS OF SCOTS PINE FOR NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF DEFECT FREE BEAMS

Determination of the stress-strain curve in specimens of Scots pine for numerical simulation of defect free beams

The objective of this paper is to develop a twodimensional numerical model to simulate the response of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) defect free timber members in order to predict the behaviour of these members when Goku subjected to external forces.For this purpose, data of the mechanical properties of Scots pine were obtained by performing exp

Non-adherence and non-persistence to intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Background Intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) injections play a key role in treating a range of macular diseases.The effectiveness of these therapies is dependent on patients’ adherence (the extent to which a patient takes their medicines as per agreed recommendations from the healthcare provider) and persis
