Greenhouse climate models are a powerful tool which allows the simulation of inside environmental conditions as a function of external conditions, construction and environmental control equipments characteristics. They also permit to evaluate the energy consumption necessary to obtain the predefined conditions. A theoretical study of the greenhouse energy requirements for all year round tomato production in Por...
The seismic response of moment resisting steel frames depends on the behaviour of the beamto- column connections, in particular when these are considered to be dissipative zones. This paper aims to contribute to a better understanding of modelling joints of steel moment resisting frames concerning their seismic behaviour. The modified Richard-Abbott constitutes a sophisticated model and is used here to reproduc...
In recent years a number of neonatal risk scores have been developed in order to assure a more accurate evaluation of results obtained by different NICU's. It is noteworthy that throughout the years an effort has been made to adapt the scores to the specific neonatal problems and to make them easier to use. We felt that it would be important to compare various scores (CRIB, SNAP, SNAP-PE, NTISS) in a population...
Infection of the embryo and foetus remains a major public health problem. It has been widely accepted as a major cause of spontaneous abortion, premature birth and morbidity and mortality of the newborn. Furthermore, many studies stress the role of chorioamnionitis in the onset of premature labor. We have found a significant incidence of chorioamnionitis in placentas examined in our laboratory, but we do not kn...
