Nut Factor is used to establish a bolt load for a given applied torque in bolted joint assembly. In previous papers the effects of different factors influencing Nut Factor results were examined, which included the type of anti-seize, bolt and nut material, bolt diameter and amount of anti-seize applied. This paper examines those factors further and then includes additional factors which have been shown to have significant effect on the measured Nut Factor. The knowledge of these factors has been used to adjust the proposed ASTM specification for determining Nut Factor. It is also relevant to application in the field and to ensure that any testing conducted in a laboratory will be applicable in the field.

The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of educational motivation and professional identity of Russian and Indian students studying in Russia and intending to continue their studies in the magistracy. The use of a comparative analysis based on the test results for two samples, a questionnaire survey, showed the predominance of internal learning motivation and a higher level of professional identity of Indian students compared to students from Russia. The factors influencing the results of measuring educational motivation are indicated. General recommendations on the formation of optimal educational motivation and professional identity of future masters are given.

In the paper the results of an experimental program intended to determine factors influencing the impact resistance of the External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) were presented. For the research the systems based on polystyrene have been chosen. The insulation material was faced with a rendering consisting of base coat reinforced with standard or armored glass fibre mesh and silicone or silicone-silicate binders as finishing coats. The influence of various renderings components was evaluated with respect to resistance to hard body impact and resistance to hail. The test results were discussed in the context of the possible impact level on ETICS in use.

Objective. Identification of the weight and postmenstrual age (PMA) at successful weaning of NCPAP in preterm neonates and the factors influencing the successful wean.Study Design. Retrospective review of 454 neonates ≤32 weeks of gestational age (GA) who were placed on NCPAP and successfully weaned to room air was performed.Results. Neonates had a mean birth weight (BW) of grams with a mean GA of weeks. Neonates were weaned off NCPAP at mean weight of grams and mean PMA of weeks. Univariate analysis showed that chorioamnionitis, intubation, surfactant use, PDA, sepsis/NEC, anemia, apnea, GER and IVH were significantly associated with the time to NCPAP wean. On multivariate analysis, among neonates that were intubated, BW was the only significant factor () that was inversely related to time to successful NCPAP wean. Amongst non-intubated neonates, along with BW (), chorioamnionitis (), anemia (), and GER () played a significant role in weaning from NCPAP.Conclusion. Neonates were weaned off NCPAP at mean weight of grams and mean PMA of weeks. BW significantly affects weaning among intubated and non-intubated neonates, though in neonates who were never intubated chorioamnionitis, anemia and GER also significantly affected the duration on NCPAP.

The embedded suction anchor (ESA) is a type of permanent offshore foundation that is installed by a suction pile. The primary factors influencing the horizontal pullout capacity of an ESA include the loading point, the soil type, the embedment depth, and the addition of flanges. The main purpose of this study is to develop an analytical solution that is capable of estimating the horizontal pullout capacity of ESAs with the loading point being anywhere along its length with or without flanges. An analytical solution has been developed to estimate the horizontal pullout capacity of embedded suction anchors in clay seafloor. Validation has been made through comparisons with the centrifuge model test results. Results indicate that the horizontal pullout capacity of the embedded suction anchor in clay increases, reaches its peak, and then starts to decrease as the point of the load application moves downward. The effect of flanges on the horizontal pullout capacity is also found to be significant. The horizontal pullout capacity is a direct function of the loading point. The horizontal pullout capacity increases as the loading point moves downward and the maximum pullout capacity is obtained when the loading point is approximately at the mid-depth. The increase in horizontal pullout capacity can be significant, i.e., more than twice in magnitude when the maximum pullout capacity is compared with that associated with the loading point near the top or tip.

Abstract Background: Initiation of statins for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) should be based on CVD risk estimates but their use is sub-optimal. Aim: To investigate the factors influencing statin prescribing when clinicians code and do not code estimated CVD risk (QRISK2). Design and setting: A historical cohort of patients who had lipid tests in a database of UK primary care records (IMRD). Methods: The cohort comprised 686,560 entries (lipid test results) between 2012 and 2016 from 383,416 statin naïve patients, without previous CVD. Coded QRISK2 estimates were extracted, with variables used in calculating QRISK2 and factors that might influence statin prescribing. If QRISK2 was not coded, it was calculated post-hoc. The outcome was initiation of a statin within 60 days of the lipid test result. Results: 21.4% of entries had a coded QRISK2 score. Statins were initiated in 6.6% (6.4%-6.7%) of those with coded and 4.1% (4.0%-4.1%) of un-coded QRISK2 (p<0.001). Statin initiations were consistent with NICE guideline recommendations in 85.0% (84.2%-85.8%) of coded and 44.2% (43.5%-44.9%) of un-coded QRISK2 groups (P<0.001). When coded, QRISK2 score was the main predictor of statin initiation, but total cholesterol was the main predictor when QRISK2 was not coded. Conclusions: When QRISK2 is coded, prescribing is more consistent with guidelines. With no QRISK2 code, prescribing is mainly based on total cholesterol. Using QRISK2 is associated with statin prescribing that is more likely to benefit patients. Promoting the routine CVD risk estimation is essential to optimise decision making.

High Arsenic

Test results on 302 shallow groundwater samples in an oasis zone in the southern margin of the Tarim Basin in Xinjiang were collected and analysed for a large number of chemical parameters and subjected to mathematical statistics methods. Results show that groundwater with high arsenic, fluorine and iodine concentrations were mainly distributed in the Minfeng County in the central part of the study area. Shallow groundwater in the southern margin of the entire Tarim Basin generally had high fluorine concentrations. The distribution of arsenic and fluorine in groundwater were similar. Intensive evaporation under the arid climatatic condition was an important factor for the enrichment of arsenic, fluorine and iodine in groundwater.

The Current Affairs Joint Industry Project was initiated to develop the understanding and tools for the assessment of current loads on offshore structures. CFD is one of these tools requiring a good understanding of the underlying physical and mathematical models. In order to assess its suitability for the prediction of current loads on monohulls, the flow around a LNG carrier for which model scale data is available was considered. The LNG carrier, including bilge–keels and rudder, was towed at scale 1/50 in Marin’s shallow water basin during the HAWAI JIP, for flow angles between 0 and 180 degrees. The measurements were shared with the Current Affairs JIP, for which the participants were invited to perform CFD computations reproducing the model test results. A number of these simulations are presented in this paper. The analysis of the results includes discussion on the grid generation as well as the numerical and physical parameters of the simulation. The comparison between experiments and computations shows that CFD can provide good qualitative predictions for the variation of force coefficients with inflow angle. The origin of the result variability between the participants is discussed and attention is drawn to the different factors influencing the quality of the simulation.
