Stop line in Toyokawa, Aichi, Japan Give Way lines in the UK "Shark's teeth" yield lines (white isosceles triangles) as used in the US and many European countries. Stop and yield lines [1] are transverse road surface markings that inform drivers where they should stop or yield when approaching an intersection.
This may also be related to the Afrikaans word for poison: gif. Coastal pot-smokers used the term to refer to Durban Poison: "Gifs" [locally-grown marijuana]. The word evolved into kiff, an adjective or exclamation meaning "cool", among English-speaking people on the east coast. kie-kie/kiekie/kiek-kie – pronounced "key-ki"; refers to a ...
Consequently, models based on a metals based theory of plasticity are not able to model behavior of soils that is a result of anisotropic particle properties, one example of which is the drop in shear strengths post peak strength, i.e., strain-softening behavior.
Concrete design and analysis has been progressing ever since, with the development of analysis methods such as yield line theory, based on plastic analysis of concrete (as opposed to linear-elastic), and many different variations on the model for stress distributions in concrete in compression [26] [27]
U.S. News & World Report just rated the Mediterranean diet as the No. 1 diet for the eighth year in a row. Not only did it win best overall diet, it also won the top spot for managing diabetes ...
Daisy Louisa C. de Melker (née Hancorn-Smith; 1 June 1886 – 30 December 1932), simply known as Daisy de Melker, was a South African nurse [1] who was accused of poisoning two husbands with strychnine for their life insurance money; all she was found guilty of, however, was poisoning her only son with arsenic for reasons which are still unclear.
Social media criticized ESPN for its focus on Georgia's Parker Jones after his sideline interference penalty in the CFP Sugar Bowl quarterfinal game:
In materials science and soil mechanics, a slip line field or slip line field theory is a technique often used to analyze the stresses and forces involved in the major deformation of metals or soils.
