Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disorder with a highly characteristic disease distribution.Prevalence and incidence in general increase with increasing distance from the equator.Similarly the female to male sex ratio increases with increasing latitude.Multiple possible risk factors have been hypothesised for this epidemiological trend, in
Study on broadband low-frequency sound insulation of multi-channel resonator acoustic metamaterials
A Drive Pulley novel acoustic metamaterial structure, made up of both resonator and multiple channels, is proposed to insulate low-frequency broadband noises.Three bandgaps with a total width of 658 Hz can be obtained below 900 Hz when the structure appears as a single negative characteristic within specific frequency ranges.These bandgaps are caus
An Artificial Neural Network for Prediction of Front Slope Recession in Berm Breakwater
Berm breakwaters are used as protective structures against the wave attack where larger quarry materials as armor stone is scarce, or large quarry materials are available but using berm breakwater lowers the costs considerably.In addition, wave overtopping in berm breakwaters are significantly lower than the traditional ones for equal crest level b
ECONOMIC CRISIS AND ECONOMIC DISPARITIES IN EUROPEAN UNION
The impact of the economic and financial crisis is still being felt.It started as an acute crisis of the banking system, Boot but then quickly affected the real economy, causing a substantial slump in business investment, household demand and output.The current economic crisis has affected almost all European countries but the countries of the Euro
