The article discusses the design features of sliding gates, reviewed patents from 1983 to the present, analyzed the recommendation methods for calculating cantilever sliding gates. It is established that the designs of sliding gates for long-term trouble-free operation must meet the requirements for the first and second group of limiting conditions for gates as a building structure, specific requirements for the operation of structures (reduced deflections, roll and bends), the minimum weight of the movable part of the gate for the use of an opening mechanism of lower power.

This study intends to find out the design features of health information visualization that can positively influence young adults’ perception of self-efficacy about weight control. An exploratory mixed methods design has been used by firstly collecting qualitative data in order to develop an information visualization intervention, which then followed with a quantitative phase to assess the design features. Three design features were generated - (1). Visualizing the comparison of intake and consumed calories; (2). Showing both the short-term and long-term predictions of weight; (3). Showing an ideal path of weight control.

When conducting inspections of metal structures of industrial buildings, one of the most characteristic damages is revealed - corrosion. To assess the degree of serviceability and the possibility of further safe operation of a building structure or a building and structure, it is necessary to correctly assess the danger of corrosion damage and determine the possibility of further operation. To assess the strength resistance of damaged structures, it is necessary to correctly assess the danger of corrosion damage and determine the possibility of further operation. For this purpose, an experimental study of columns with simulated corrosion damage was carried out and compared with the calculation results according to regulatory recommendations.

ObjectivesThis systematic literature review aims to identify important design features of the electronic personal health record (PHR) that may improve medication adherence in the adult population with long-term conditions.Data sourcesPubMed (including MEDLINE), CINAHL, Science Direct (including EMBASE), BioMed Central, ACM digital, Emerald Insight, Google Scholar and Research Gate.MethodsStudies that were published between 1 January 2002 and 31 May 2018 in English were included if the participants were adults, with at least one long-term condition, were able to self-administer their medication and were treated in primary care settings. The quality of evidence was assessed with the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) system and the risk of bias was appraised using the Cochrane risk of bias tool.ResultsFrom a total of 27 studies that matched the inclusion criteria, 12 were excluded due to low quality of evidence, 10 were rated moderate and 5 were rated high quality. All the included studies had low sample size and limited follow-up duration. Thirteen of the included studies found that the use of a PHR has increased medication adherence. The identified design features are reminders, education, personalisation and tailoring, feedback and alerts, gamification, medication management, medical appointment management, diary and self-monitoring, health condition management, set goals, patient’s blog and tethered. It was impossible to draw conclusions as to which feature is important to what group of patients and why. The most frequently identified conditions were HIV and diabetes. This review did not identify any papers with negative results. It was not possible to numerically aggregate the PHR effect due to high heterogeneity of the medication adherence measurement, study type, participants and PHRs used.ConclusionAlthough we found recurrent evidence that PHRs can improve medication adherence, there is little evidence to date to indicate which design features facilitate this process.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42017060542.

The article presents results of long-term experimental study of hygrothermal performance of envelope assemblies in a passive house located in Boruszowice (Southern Poland). The building was constructed in 2010 using prefabricated, lightweight technology. The construction of the walls and roof had been carefully planned to test both traditional solutions with higher thermal insulation and modified ones to improve the hygrothermal performance. Altogether, eight different walls and two roof constructions were integrated into the building structure and tested from the beginning of 2011 to the end of 2015 under real climate and usage conditions. In all assemblies, temperature was measured in three and relative humidity in four points at the surface and inside. Inner climate was measured by thermohygrometers installed in the rooms and outer climate was recorded by a weather station located near the building. Theoretical calculations were made using WUFI® Plus software. Based on experimental and calculation results, the main hygrothermal phenomena depending on construction specifics and used materials are presented.

Long Term Treatment

At the present time, adaptive-reversible devices (ARA) have been created, designed to approximate the edges of the wound (WBR) in various areas of surgery [1, 8, I, 17, 19, 20, 21]. The first group includes tools for temporary sbkr, reducing its size and holding it in a certain position: tweezers, one- and two-pronged hooks, linen plate clamps or with a ratchet. The second group is made up of the most modern ARA for SBCR, allowing for intraoperative hardware correction during suturing, as well as during its long-term treatment. According to the design features of the working part and the converging mechanism, the ARA can be divided into the following main subgroups: 1st - needle (I), 2nd - plate (P), 3rd - filament (H), 4th - spoke (Cn ) and 5th - rod (St).

Industrial building energy consumption accounts for more than half of building energy consumption. In order to understand the situation of energy consumption of industrial building’s energy system in Shenyang located in China's northeast severe cold region, we investigated the distribution of industrial buildings and energy system’s energy consumption (HVAC, water supply and drainage, electrical system) of typical industrial buildings in Shenyang, it is found that the energy system’s energy consumption of Shenyang is great because of long-term neglecting of industrial building’s energy conservation. We must strengthen the designing of energy conservation, applying of new technology and supervising of industrial building to develop the potential of industrial building’s energy conservation.

Animator John Hubley, born in Marinette, Wisconsin, served as creative head of UPA (United Productions of America) in its early years and originated its most popular character, the near-sighted Mr. Magoo. He had previously worked on several Walt Disney animated features but left the studio during the 1941 strike. Hubley played a crucial role in UPA’s development. In 1944 he brought the fledgling company a United Auto Workers project promoting the re-election of Franklin D. Roosevelt, which effectively turned it into an animation studio. He directed the first films that UPA made for Columbia Pictures, which demonstrated the young studio’s ability to make successful theatrical cartoons and so secured a long-term distribution contract with Columbia. Besides creating Mr. Magoo, Hubley earned the studio three Oscar nominations in its first four years of production. His crowning achievement at UPA was Rooty Toot Toot (1951), a modern retelling of the popular ballad "Frankie and Johnny." The film could serve as a compendium of design features characteristic of UPA cartoons: very simple backgrounds; angularly rendered characters; and an extremely idiosyncratic use of color, which includes unusual shading, unmotivated chromatic change, and spillover drawn outlines.

Rutting is a major failure mode for flexible pavements. Pavement engineers have been trying to control and arrest the development of rutting for years. Many models are available to relate pavement rutting to design features, traffic loading, and climatic conditions. These models range from purely empirical to mechanistic models. Mechanistic-empirical models (the Asphalt Institute and Shell) were used to predict the development of rutting for 61 Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) test sections. The rutting damage, calculated using these models, did not appear to be a good predictor of the observed rutting depth. A new rutting model was developed and calibrated using the data from the 61 LTPP sections. The model accounts for the plastic deformation in all pavement layers and allows the use of actual axle load and type, rather than the equivalent single axle load, in characterizing traffic.
