Influence of network structure determined by Time-domain [formula omitted] Double Quantum NMR on the creep properties of non-stoichiometric epoxy-amine resins aimed for chemical anchoring applications

Chemical anchors, used to fasten structural components, are prone to creep under sustained loading, which significantly affects their long-term performance and service life. In this study, the molar ratio, that determines the ultimate network structure of an epoxy-amine resin system, is systematically modified to investigate the creep properties. The percentage of physical entanglement and defects (free and dangling chains) for each formulation is obtained by Time-Domain 1H Double Quantum (DQ) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) measurements. The crosslink density values from the dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and the network parameter from the NMR measurements show a strong linear correlation. Tensile tests were performed to determine the influence on the mechanical properties and set the load levels for tensile creep measurements of the selected formulations. Epoxy-rich systems (Epoxy-Amine adduct) show the highest modulus and tensile strength but inferior creep properties compared to stoichiometric and amine-rich (Amine-Epoxy adduct) compositions. This can be attributed to the build-up of several network structures with higher content of free and dangling chains leading to lower deformation resistance. At high loads, the entanglement density has an increasing impact on the creep behavior compared to defect-rich systems. Modeling using the Findley approach was carried out to link the obtained creep parameter with the material properties. Therefore, this work aims to deepen the understanding of the molecular-scale structures of epoxy resins required for material and design optimization, by investigating the correlation between network structure and creep properties.

Evaluating the Time-Dependent Behavior of Deeply Buried Tunnels in Soft Rock Environments and Relevant Measures Guaranteeing Their Long-Term Stability

The time-dependent behavior and long-term stability of deep-buried tunnels in soft rocks have received lots of considerations in tunnel engineering and allied sciences. To better explore and deepen the engineering application of rock creep, extensive research studies are still needed, although fruitful outcomes have already been obtained in many related investigations. In this article, the Weilai Tunnel in China’s Guangxi province is studied, taking its host rocks as the main research object. In fact, aiming at forecasting the time-varying deformation of this tunnel, a novel elasto-visco-plastic creep constitutive model with two variants is proposed, by exploiting the typical complex load–unload process of rock excavation. The model is well validated, and good agreements are found with the relevant experimental data. Moreover, the time-dependent deformation rules are properly established for the surrounding rocks, by designing two new closed-form solutions based on the proposed creep model and the Hoek–Brown criterion. To investigate the effects of the major creep parameters and the geological strength index (GSI) of the surrounding rocks on the time-dependent trend of the tunnel, an in-depth parametric study is carried out. It is shown that the convergence deformation of the surrounding rocks is remarkably influenced by the GSI and creep parameters. The convergence deformations calculated from the closed-form solutions conform well to the on-site monitoring data. In only 27 days after excavation, the creep deformation of the Weilai tunnel overtakes 400 mm, which is enormous. To guarantee the long-term stability of this tunnel, a robust support scheme and its long-term monitoring with appropriate remote sensors are strongly suggested.

Scott Blair Fractional-Type Viscoelastic Behavior of Thermoplastic Polyurethane.

In this paper, the experimental characterization of the viscoelastic properties of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) samples through creep experiments is presented. Experiments were conducted at different constant temperature levels (15, 25, and 35 ∘C), for three different tensile stress levels (0.3, 0.5, and 0.7 MPa), and at different physisorbed water contents, providing access to: (i) the temperature dependency of creep parameters and (ii) the assessment, if behavior is indeed viscoelastic. The physisorbed water content was achieved by exposing virgin samples to environments with relative humidity ranging from 0 to 80 percent until mass stability was reached. Creep tests were conducted immediately afterwards with this particular humidity level. The main results of this study are as follows. The temperature dependency of the obtained creep parameters is well described in Arrhenius plots. With regard to water content, two prototype material responses were observed in the experimental program and accurately modeled using the following fractional-type models: (i) Scott Blair-type (i.e., power-law-type) only behavior, pronounced for the combination of low water content/low temperature; (ii) combined Scott Blair plus Lomnitz (i.e., log-type) behavior for high water content/high temperature. This change in behavior associated with certain thresholds for the specified environmental conditions (temperature and relative humidity) may indicate the initiation of hydrogen bond breakage and rearrangement (carbamate H-bonds and physisorbed water H-bonds). Regarding the short-term or quasi-instantaneous behavior, the Scott Blair element seems highly appropriate and may be better suited than the standard elastic model: the Hookean spring. We associated Scott Blair behavior with the load-induced, quasi-instantaneous re-arrangement of polymer network chains. The secondary viscoelastic mechanism associated with the Lomnitz element, hydrogen bond breakage and rearrangement, comes into play for higher temperatures and/or higher physisorbed water contents. In this case, the contribution of the two constitutive elements is well separated due to the large number of the characteristic time of the Lomnitz element, much larger than the respective value for the Scott Blair element.

Upscaling the creep behavior of clay-rich and quartz-rich shales from nanoindentation measurements: Application to the Wufeng-Longmaxi shale, China

Creep of shale controls the stability of fault gouge in sedimentary rocks, aseismic deformation in the upper crust, and several engineering operations, such as proppant embedment, reservoir subsidence, and wellbore stability during unconventional shale gas exploitation. However, measuring the creep properties of shale is challenging due to the multi-scale structure of this rock. Here, our goal is to assess how creep parameters measured at the core sample scale depend on those measured at the nanoscale in shales. We selected three clay-rich and quartz-rich shale samples and conducted a series of experiments on shale samples at two scales: nanoindentation creep measurements on thin sections, and uniaxial creep tests on core samples. The creep parameters, including creep displacement (Δh), indentation creep (CIT), creep strain rate sensitivity (m), contact creep modulus (C), and viscoelastic parameters (E1, E2, η1, and η2) of the Burgers' model, were calculated by fitting the nanoindentation creep data of each single-phase component of shale matrix. From these data, we upscale the creep parameters (E1, E2, and C) of shale matrix to those of the bulk shale. Upscaled E2 and C values based on the Mori-Tanaka scheme are found to be relatively close to those measured in previous microindentation study on Longmaxi shale and are consistent with our measurements in uniaxial creep tests on core samples of clay-rich shale and quartz-rich shale. The upscaling value of the elastic parameters, E1, is almost twice larger than the results from uniaxial creep test. We interpret this difference as due to low elastic stiffness along grain contacts of the shale that nanoindentation measurements underestimate. Our results show a consistency of some creep parameters upscaled from nanoindentation data and those measured at a macroscopic scale on core samples.

Health Observation of the Capital Airport South Expressway Based on Improved MT-InSAR Technology

Objectives: The Airport South Expressway in China is built in a soft soil area, which may induce great hidden danger to airport traffic safety operations. Technology or Method: A new method to improve Multi-Temporal Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (MT-InSAR) technology, based on a novel time-series InSAR deformation model and an improved parameter estimation algorithm, is proposed for soft soil expressways monitoring. The functional relationship between the deformation and the creep parameters (viscosity and elastic modulus) based on the Maxwell model in one-dimensional linear rheology replaces the traditional InSAR linear model, and the creep physical parameters can be solved simultaneously in the solution process. The least-squares method with inequality constraints (LSIC) is induced to solve the unknown parameters. In total, 19 TerraSAR-X radar satellite images covering the South Expressway were utilized to validate the proposed method. The creep parameters for each pixel along the expressways and the time series deformation sequences from January 2012 to July 2014 were obtained. Results: As the results showed, the maximum settlement along the expressway was up to 125 mm, and the accuracy verification results showed that the modeling accuracy was 1.6 mm, with an improvement of 36.0% compared to the traditional linear model; the internal accuracy of the deformation results was 11.9 mm, accounting for 1.5% of the maximum deformation. Clinical or Biological Impact: Our method can provide data support and a reference for long-term health monitoring and early warning of infrastructure and traffic operation management in poor soil regions.

A parametric study on deformation behaviour for design of braced excavation in soft clay

ABSTRACT Adequate prediction of surrounding ground movement during braced excavation is critically important as excessive soil movement damages adjacent structures. The magnitudes and patterns of ground movement and wall deflection largely depend on excavation parameters like thickness of diaphragm wall, wall embedment depth, strut locations and soil parameters such as soil strength, compressibility and creep parameter. In the present paper a thorough, parametric study has been conducted using finite element (FE) analysis to address the influence of various parameters on deformation characteristics of braced excavation in soft clayey deposits. The importance of correct estimation of soil parameters for braced excavation design is also documented. The analysis of typical braced excavations in soft clay is carried out using PLAXIS 2D software where soft soil creep constitutive model is used. On the basis of numerical study a handy design guideline is recommended. Further multivariate regression models are developed incorporating various important excavation parameters for the adequate prediction of maximum wall and ground displacement along with wall and ground surface deformation profile. Here large numbers of data reported in case histories and generated artificially from FE analysis are used for formation of regression equations. The proposed model is validated comparing results from literatures not used for the development of the model.

A hierarchical creep model for cement paste: From decoding nano-microscopic C-S-H creep to considering microstructure evolution

The creep of cement paste significantly affects the long-term performance of concrete structures. However, the accurate prediction of cement paste creep remains to meet enormous challenges. This work proposes a hierarchical creep model of cement paste considering the hydration microstructure evolution. First, the microstructural evolutions are quantitatively captured by a cement hydration model. The creep property of cement paste is upscaled from high-density (HD) and low-density (LD) calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) at the nanoscale, via C-S-H gels at the sub-micrometer scale to the microscopic scale by coupling the mean-field theory with the transfer function method. The creep behavior of HD and LD C-S-H is described using a fractional Maxwell model in the time domain and its corresponding transfer function in the Laplace-Carson domain. The creep parameters of HD and LD C-S-H are identified through a back-analysis approach. The determined creep parameters and the hierarchical creep model are validated by comparing them with extensive experimental data. Furthermore, the proposed model quantitatively evaluates the influences of various factors on the creeps of cement paste and C-S-H gels. The results indicate that C-S-H gels should not be treated as a phase with stable viscoelastic creep properties, and cement paste creep can be tailored via proper design for these factors.

An estimation method (LOESS) for dealing with the imperfections of existing parametric creep models for time to failure: Illustrated using 2.25Cr–1Mo steel

It is important to be able to predict the creep life of materials used in power plants. This paper illustrates the inadequacies of existing parametric creep models in achieving this aim for 2.25Cr–1Mo steel. This breakdown occurs due to different creep mechanisms being present at different test conditions. This paper puts forward a locally weighted estimation technique (LOESS) to tackle this problem that importantly maintains the parametric model's structure by using local (to the test condition) weighted regression procedures. It was observed that this technique not only produces more sensible values for key parameters such as the activation energy, but it also produces much more accurate predictions of lifetimes close to operating conditions when using only short-term data (less than 10,000 h) to quantify the creep model's unknown parameters. The variation in the model's creep parameters with stress were also consistent with previous studies on the changing creep mechanisms for this material.

Creep properties and life model of anisotropic Ni-based single crystal superalloys over a wide temperature range

The current study is centered on the creep anisotropy of a nickel-based single crystal superalloy across a wide temperature range and with orientations of [001], [011], and [111]. Based on continuous damage mechanics, a new damage evolution law of anisotropic nickel-based single crystal materials is proposed. Based on the crystal slip theory, creep resistance is innovatively introduced and the modified creep constitutive model of nickel-based single crystal superalloy is presented. Meanwhile, in order to facilitate engineering application, an anisotropic creep life prediction model for single crystal superalloy was established based on continuous damage mechanics and crystal plasticity theory. By establishing the relationship between deformation gradient and shear strain rate on the sliding system, the combination of macroscopic creep deformation and microscopic crystal slip is realized. According to the working state of single crystal blade, a wide range of temperature creep tests at different load points were carried out. The creep parameters A (temperature dependent parameter), n (apparent stress index), Q (apparent activation energy) and τres(α) (creep resistance) are obtained by fitting on the basis of the slip theory of finite deformation crystals and test results. The creep behavior of anisotropic Ni-based single crystal superalloy is simulated by using a modified life prediction model considering creep resistance in finite element framework, and the numerical results are compared with the experimental results. The results show that the constitutive formula proposed in this paper can be used to simulate the mechanical properties of Ni-based single crystal superalloys at different orientations in the wide temperature range, and the constitutive formula also can accurately predict the creep life and creep deformation with different temperatures and directions. The life prediction error is in the range of 1.2 times.

Rheological performance of bitumen mixed with laboratory simulated polymerized RAP binders

Researchers have mostly used three artificial aging techniques, namely pressure aging vessel (PAV) binder aging, compacted mix aging (CMA), and loose mix aging (LMA) to simulate recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) binder in the laboratory. RAP binder (RAPB) simulated using different techniques will differ in characteristics and may affect the performance of the base binder differently. Which may affect the parameters used for blending and recycling, such as the selection of base binder, rejuvenator dosage, etc. Therefore, in this study, three RAP binders, namely RAPB-P, RAPB-C, and RAPB-L, were simulated from a polymer modified binder (PMB) with 3.5% SBS content, using PAV aging (100 °C, 20 hrs, 2.1 MPa), CMA (85 °C, 5 days) and LMA (85 °C, 8 days), respectively. These polymerized RAPBs were added to an unmodified binder (AC 30) at three proportions: 15 %, 25 %, and 40 %. These RAPB and AC 30 blends were characterized in terms of their dynamic viscosity, mixing and compaction temperature, and high temperature performance grade (PG). Superpave rutting factor (|G*|/sin δ) and multiple stress creep and recovery (MSCR) test parameters were used to evaluate the rutting performance of the RAPB blended AC 30 binders. Further, resistance to yielding and elastic recovery values were evaluated using the binder yield energy test (BYET). The test results suggested that all three RAP binders affect the performance of the AC 30 binder differently, which was also confirmed by statistical analysis using one-way ANOVA. From MSCR and BYET test results, it may be stated that RAP binder simulated from standard PAV aging may mislead in predicting the high and intermediate temperature performance of AC 30 binder with RAPB. Overall, the present study is helpful for asphalt researchers and practitioners to understand how the selection of different defined aging strategies affects the performance of aged recycled PMB with unmodified base binder.

A creep life prediction model of P91 steel coupled with back-propagation artificial neural network (BP-ANN) and θ projection method

In order to predict the long-term creep life of P91 steel, this work proposed a coupled model, combining the error-trained back-propagation artificial neural network (BP-ANN) and an improved θ model. Both the short-term rupture life obtained by creep experiments and the related creep data of National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) database were used to validate the above model. In this model, creep parameters (temperature, stress) were used as the input and relative error of 5 θ model extrapolations as the output. Then, the prediction errors of BP-ANN method were introduced to correct the 5 θ model extrapolation results to achieve a more accurate prediction. Consequently, the long-term creep life of P91 steel was predicted. It demonstrated that with the proposed model, the prediction capability for long-term creep life of P91 steel with 200,000 h is much better than those of other θ methods, which has a prediction uncertainty less than 5%.

High temperature creep model development using in-situ 3-D DIC techniques during a simulated LOCA transient

In-situ strain measurements of fuel cladding can enable high-throughput data collection and validation to support accelerated qualification of cladding materials. In this work, 3D digital image correlation was used to map strain for both Zircaloy-4 (Zry-4) and Cr-coated Zry-4 during two types of cladding rupture experiments: isobaric temperature ramp tests at 5 °C/s and isothermal pressure jump tests at 600 °C. Zry-4 strain data initially showed a temperature dependence expected for creep deformation, yet a shift to a new plastic deformation mechanism not reported in literature dominated during the finals seconds prior to rupture. Cr-coated Zry-4 did not show the change in deformation mechanism at the end of life and showed a delay in measurable creep deformation. Stress dependences were similar for Zry-4 and Cr/Zry-4 during pressure jump tests. Cr-coatings were found to decrease the strain rate during both testing scenarios. Creep parameters were calculated to support modelling efforts regarding design basis accidents.

Thermal aging of Gr. 91 steel in supercritical thermal plant and its effect on structural integrity at elevated temperature

In this study, the influence of thermal aging on structural integrity is investigated for Gr. 91 steel. A commercial grade Gr. 91 steel is used for the virgin material, and service-exposed Gr. 91 steel is sampled from a steam pipe of a super critical plant. Time versus creep strain curves are obtained through creep tests with various stress levels at 600 °C for the virgin and service-exposed Gr. 91 steels, respectively. Based on the creep test results, the improved Omega model is characterized for describing the total creep strain curve for both Gr. 91 steels. The proposed parameters for creep deformation model are used for predicting the steady-state creep strain rate, creep rupture curve, and stress relaxation. Creep-fatigue damage is evaluated for the intermediate heat exchanger (IHX) in a large-scale sodium test facility of STELLA-2 by using creep deformation model with proposed creep parameters and creep rupture curve for both Gr. 91 steels. Based on the comparison results of creep fatigue damage for the virgin and service-exposed Gr. 91 steels, the thermal aging effect has been shown to be significant.

Triaxial Deformation of the Goldwyer Gas Shale at In Situ Stress Conditions—Part II: Viscoelastic Creep/Relaxation and Frictional Failure

To understand the geomechanical implications of long-term creep (time-dependent deformation) response of gas shale, short-duration creep was recorded from laboratory triaxial tests on ten Goldwyer gas shale samples in the onshore Canning Basin at in situ stress conditions under constant differential axial stress. A simple power-law function captures primary creep behaviour involving elastic compliance constant B and time-dependent factor n. Experimental creep data revealed larger axial creep strain in clay and organic-rich rocks, than those dominated by carbonates. Anisotropic nature of creep was observed depending upon the direction of constant axial stress application (perpendicular or parallel to the bedding plane). Upon the application of linear viscoelastic theory on laboratory creep fitting coefficients, differential horizontal stress accumulation over a geological time scale was estimated from the viscoelastic stress relaxation concept. Further, this model was used to derive lithology-dependent least principal stress (Shmin) magnitude at depth for two vertical wells intersecting the Goldwyer gas shale formations. This newly proposed Shmin model was found to have a profound influence on designing hydraulic fracture simulation. Further, pore size distribution and specific surface area value SN2 were derived from low-pressure gas adsorption experiments. These physical properties along with weak mineral components were linked with creep constitutive parameters to understand the physical mechanisms of creep. A strong correlation was noted between SN2 and creep parameters n and B. Finally, an attempt was made to investigate how gas shale composition and failure frictional properties can influence shear fracturing.

Creep monitoring and parameters inversion methods for rock salt in extremely deep formation

When underground salt caverns are used for natural gas storage, the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the cavern will cause continuous creep deformation of the surrounding rock. Understanding the creep characteristics and constitutive model parameters of rock salt in actual formations is of great significance for guiding the construction and safe operation of gas storage facilities. In this paper, a creep contraction calculation model for slender cylindrical rock salt caverns was established firstly, based on the theory of complex variables and viscoelasticity. This model can calculate the radial displacement of the surrounding rock at any moment on the cross-section of the rock salt wellbore. Subsequently, two indirect monitoring methods for deep rock salt creep using the open hole section of the well were proposed based on this model, which involves using the cavern pressure change after wellhead closure and the liquid overflow rate after wellhead opening to indirectly reflect the deformation of underground rock salt. These two sets of field experiments can be used together to determine the values of the constitutive model parameters of rock salt creep under actual stress conditions. This theoretical framework was applied in the Ningjin Salt Cavern Gas Storage Project in China. Pressure monitoring was conducted for 150 days, and wellbore fluid overflow was measured for 45 h in a rock salt well at a depth close to 3000 m. The calculated results showed good agreement with the field monitoring data, and the parameters of the Burgers creep model for rock salt under actual conditions were determined. This demonstrates the strong feasibility of the monitoring method and the validity of the computational model. Finally, using the obtained creep parameters, a quantitative analysis of the creep contraction of the wellbore was performed considering factors such as internal pressure, in situ stress, and Poisson's ratio of the rock salt.

Prevention of Large Deformation of Soft Surrounding Rock in Tunnel Construction

Large deformation of surrounding rock makes the internal space of a tunnel cannot meet the requirements of normal use after support, even leads to the instability of surrounding rock and destruction of the tunnel structure. In order to optimize the parameters of the primary support to control the deformation of surrounding rock, field tests and numerical simulations are carried out. Based on the engineering geological conditions and the deformation monitoring data of surrounding rock, four important creep parameters of the improved Burgers model are inversed by numerical simulation, considering the creep of surrounding rock in tunnel construction. The results show that it is feasible to use tunnel crown settlement as a control indicator to determine the thickness of shotcrete. Short rock bolts are preferentially used in the tunnel arches, and a combination of long and short rock bolts should be used on the sidewall to control the large deformation of surrounding rock. When the excavation method of upper-lower bench is used in the single-track railway with a relatively large high-span ratio, the horizontal convergence monitoring points of the upper bench are recommended to be set 0.8-0.9 times the height of the upper bench from the tunnel arch crown, and those of the lower bench are recommended to be set 0.6-0.7 times the total height of the upper-lower bench from the tunnel arch crown.

Particle flow study on the microscale effects and damage evolution of sandstone creep

The creep damage of hard rock is significantly influenced by its microscopic parameters and pore structure. To explore the correlation between the macroscopic creep characteristics and microscopic properties of sandstone, the construction method of Clumps with random geometry (CRG) that can simulate the creep movement of minerals was proposed. Through seepage corrosion tests and uniaxial creep tests, a rock porous creep model was established, and the CRG model was used to investigate the evolution pattern of rock fracture and the relationship between macro and micro parameters. The results demonstrate that the creep parameters of red sandstone are significantly affected by its microporosity. When particles range from 0.05 to 2 mm, the instantaneous and creep mechanical properties of the CRG model are strongly dependent on contact parameters and porosity, but less sensitive to particles size. The simulation based on CRG is in good agreement with the laboratory tests, with a certain proportional relationship existing between the microscopic contact parameters of the numerical model and the macroscopic creep parameters of the laboratory test.

CHLORELLA VULGARIS İÇEREN AZ YAĞLI KURABİYELER: HAMUR REOLOJİSİ, FİZİKSEL, DOKUSAL VE DUYUSAL ÖZELLİKLER ÜZERİNE ETKİLERİ

Microalgae are an enormous biomass used for fortification in foods that represent a promising source of protein. Enrichment of baked foods with microalgae is a challenge for its textural and structural impacts. In this study, dough rheology, physical, textural and sensorial properties of low-fat cookies with Chlorella vulgaris at various concentration (0.5, 1.5 and 3.0 %) were evaluated. Dry matter (93.20 to 94.89, %), protein (5.55 to 7.08, %), ash (0.47 to 0.55, %) and fat (12.35 to 13.37, %) contents of cookies were significantly increased with increasing microalgae concentration, whereas carbohydrate amount did not change significantly. The creep parameters, recovery behavior and viscoelasticity were increased with the addition of Chlorella biomass where results clearly showed more stiff dough structure. As the microalgae concentration increased, a significant color change (33.25, ΔE) with high hardness (198.69 up to 330.86, N) and fracturability (88.66 up to 165.18, N) properties were observed.

Bread staling prediction with a multiobjective particle swarm optimization-based bread constitutive modeling method.

Aiming at the complex and cumbersome problems of current bread staling detection technology, a food constitutive modeling method based on the multiobjective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) was proposed, which can quickly and efficiently identify the creep test parameters for bread, and predict the viscoelastic parameters of bread staling using the analyzed viscoelastic parameters, resulting in convenient and efficient detection of bread staling. Firstly, airflow-laser detection technology was used to carry out rapid, efficient, and non-destructive bread rheological tests to obtain bread creep test data. The MOPSO based on the Pareto set was then used to identify the generalized Kelvin model, and the discrimination accuracy was evaluated by using the inversion results established by the viscoelastic parameters, which resulted in efficient discrimination of creep test data of starch-based products represented by bread. Finally, using extreme learning machine regression (ELM), a prediction model between the analysis results and the moisture content of bread staling was established, and the prediction effect of the analysis results on bread staling was verified. The experimental results show that, when compared to finite element analysis (FEA) and non-linear regression (NLR) to identify creep parameters, the MOPSO overcomes the shortcomings of easy falling into the local optimal solution, is easy to implement, has strong global search ability, and is suitable for the analysis of high-dimensional viscoelastic models of complex foods. The correlation coefficient (R) of the prediction set established by the 12-membered viscoelastic parameters in the prediction model established by multi-element viscoelastic parameters and bread moisture content was 0.847, and the root mean square error (RMSE) was 0.021. This demonstrated that, when combined with MOPSO, airflow-laser detection technology could effectively identify the viscoelastic parameters of bread and establish a method suitable for monitoring bread staling in industrial production. The results of this study provide a reference for the identification of viscoelastic parameters of complex foods and to detect bread staling quickly and efficiently.
