Distortional warping and transverse bending stresses, which are the major stress components resulting from distortion, should be appropriately limited to a specific level for efficient use of the cross-section by installing adequate intermediate diaphragms.
Distortional warping and transverse bending normal stresses, two major stress components resulting from distortion, are generally limited to a specific level for efficient use of the cross section by installing adequate intermediate diaphragms.
The prenatal care service was defined as adequate, intermediate, and inadequate according to the time of prenatal care visit initiation and the number of prenatal visit using the method described by Kessner et al [ 16].
We considered the five predefined classifications (adequate plus, adequate, intermediate, inadequate, and unknown), but ultimately collapsed the intermediate, inadequate, and unknown prenatal care groups as we were interested in receipt of at least adequate prenatal care.
The R-GINDEX, which is based on recommendations of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, classifies the adequacy of care into one of six categories (inadequate, adequate, intermediate, intensive, no care or missing) based on the number of prenatal care visits, the gestational age of the newborn at birth and the date prenatal care was initiated.
For example, women who give birth at 40 weeks gestation and who initiate care in the first trimester would be classified as having received adequate, intermediate or inadequate care if they received between 13 and 16 visits, 8 and 12 visits or fewer than 8 visits, respectively (see Additional file 1: Table S1 for examples of R-GINDEX categories for 28-, 32-, 36- and 40-week deliveries).
Accordingly, a guideline has been established for the Egyptian code provisions to enable professionals to assign the steel moment resisting frame between adequate-ductility, intermediate-ductility and limited-ductility.
The objectives of the present study are to develop a thin-walled box beam finite element and to propose tentative design charts for adequate spacing of intermediate diaphragms.
It is generally accepted that an adequate representation of intermediate crack debonding can be achieved by considering only mode-II (shear) fracture along the interfacial bond, a problem that can be solved by accounting for one-dimensional fields of elastic stress and strain in the substrate and plate, and nonlinear interfacial slip and shear stress along the bond.
Adequacy of prenatal care use was classified as absent, inadequate, intermediate, adequate and intensive.
Inadequate/no prenatal care was compared to the reference group of all other types of care (intermediate, adequate and intensive).
