Slabless Staircase Flexural Behavior with Multi Reinforcement Configuration by Rafal saeed Rafal saeed s.

“…The increase of the compressice strength could enhance the ultimate load carrying capacity with ratio reaching to 109%. The deflection increased by 7.8% with altered steel bar configurations, while ductility diminished; however, energy absorption significantly increased by many times as compressive strength rose from 50 to 70 MPa.…”

Evolutionary Explanations of the “Actuarial Senescence in the Wild” and of the “State of Senility” by Giacinto Libertini

“…A large set of data suggests that progressive reduction of fitness and senile decay in vertebrates are in correlation with the decline of cell replication capacities. However, the limits in such capacities are hardly explained in evolutionarily terms by current gerontological theories that rule out fitness decline as something genetically determined and regulated, and therefore somehow favored by natural selection.Four theories are tested as possible explanations of the “increasing mortality with increasing chronological age in populations in the wild” (“IMICAW”[1]), alias “actuarial senescence in the wild”[2], and of the observed negative correlation between extrinsic mortality and the ratio between deaths due to intrinsic mortality and deaths due to extrinsic mortality. …”
