Relationship between internalizing and externalizing symptoms trajectories and perinatal risk factors in an epidemiological sample: Preliminary results from the remind project by S. Grazioli, E. Rosi, F. Villa, M. Mauri, P. Brambilla, C. Bonivento, M. Molteni, M. Nobile

“…Methods We assessed internalizing and externalizing symptoms in 40 italian subjects (25 F) from general population at three waves (W1 mean age: 12±0,82; W2 mean age: 17±0,88, W3 mean age: 28±1), through the Child Behavior Checklist (W1 and W2) or the Adult Self Report (W3), and perinatal risk factors through a socio-anamnestic questionnaire, by a new online platform (MedicalBit). We analyzed symptoms trajectories and their relation with perinatal risk factors through a repeated measures multivariate analysis of variance (rm-MANOVA). …”

Impact Characteristics of a Bidirectional Pneumatic DTH Hammer for Unconsolidated Formations by Yuanling Shi, Shuang He, Conghui Li

“…In drilling mode, the piston has a larger impact stroke and can impact the anvil at high speeds to drive the bit breaking rocks. When drilling tools become stuck, by changing to a smaller impact stroke, the piston can impact backward on the gas distribution valve to break rocks above the DTH hammer so sticking drilling tools can be released. …”
