Weibull-Based Design Methodology for Rotating Structures in Aircraft Engines by Erwin V. Zaretsky, Robert C. Hendricks, Sherry Soditus

“…Each component's life, and thus the engine's life, is defined by high-cycle fatigue or low-cycle fatigue. Knowing the cumulative life distribution of each of the components making up the engine as represented by a Weibull slope is a prerequisite to predicting the life and reliability of the entire engine. …”

Polymer interaction of the genes SHY2 and MSG1, NPH4 and IAR2 in the inheritance of the Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. root system by S. G. Hablak

“…Our data indicate that the ability of plant roots to increase the degree of branching depends on individual genes and can be inherited through polymer gene interactions. Knowing the polymeric nature of inheritance in the root system, the length of lateral roots in the interaction of genes can be combined by crossing genes and increase the degree of branching of the roots from cultivated plants to create agrochemically effective varieties and hybrids.…”

المعارض عبر الانترنت ومدى اتاحتها على مواقع المکتبات الوطنية by وسام الزغبى

“…Exhibitions play a vital role in spreading knowledge by basic memoryinstitutions (libraries - archives - museums), but traditional exhibitions faceproblems or restrictions, the most important of which are space and size, andthey may also encounter problems that require their elimination or postponementof some emergency circumstances such as wars and epidemics, as happened inthe last time due to the spread of the Corona virus, which led officials to the ideaof finding replacements to traditional exhibitions, as ideas turned towards onlineexhibitions.From here, the problem of this study crystallized around knowing theconcept of online exhibitions (electronic / virtual), identifying the advantages theyoffer and the defects related to them, studying the characteristics of thoseexhibitions and design steps, in addition to studying the availability of theseexhibitions on the websites of national libraries.The study relied on the descriptive analytical method to achieve itsobjectives depending on the search engines to restrict the society of the study,which restricted the number (222) national libraries all over the world, (73)national libraries were excluded because they do not have a website or only havea page on Facebook , the number of national libraries under study that have awebsite on the Internet has become (149) national libraries, as the study hasproven the existence of (40) national library sites that hold electronic or virtualexhibitions, by 27% from total libraries under study which are (149) NationalLibraries.…”
