The residual life of transmission line overhead conductors under conditions of fretting fatigue is an important asset management issue for electric network operators.The current industry practice for overhead conductor residual life estimation relies heavily on experimentally generated fatigue curves or rule-based expert systems.The current experim
Serum levels of adiponectin and visfatin in patients with lichen planus: a case-controlled study
Background The association of adipokines with lichen planus (LP) is still obscure.Data regarding their effect on other immunological and inflammatory disorders suggest a probable role of adipokines in the pathophysiology of LP.Objective The objective of the study was to investigate serum levels of adiponectin and visfatin in patients with LP compar
