“…6 for the first four modes. Literature [6] shows the theoretical calculation formula of frequencies. FP represents free beams, SP for simply-supported beams, MF for simulated free beam, MS for simulated simply-supported beam, MT for simulated elastic-supported beam, S for frequency of MS, T for frequency of MT, and L for the theoretical calculation frequency of SP.…”

This paper carries out dynamic tests of self-compacting prestressed concrete beams, 10 simply-supported and 5 free, then simulates modal analyses. It shows that, via comprehensive analyses of the first four natural frequencies and modes, the simple support can not achieve the ideal confinement effect for dynamic tests. Especially the tested high frequencies and modes are obviously different from corresponding theoretical values, instead the same as elastic-supported beams. The support plays the role of elastic one. The conclusions will provide meaningful references to further researches on prestressed concrete beams such as improving the accuracy of tests, dynamic analyses and theoretical frequency calculation.

“…The organization of intermediaries operating between manufacturers and retailers also varies by place. In China, for example, the manufacturer deals directly with retail 24 . In Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal, smokeless tobacco manufacturers supply 'dealers' who then deliver to wholesale retailers 25 .…”

INTRODUCTION Tobacco control research and advocacy has yet to capitalize on understanding the tobacco industry supply chain. The objective of this narrative review is to expose the processes, actors and supporting industries involved in tobacco production, laying the groundwork to expand the scope of tobacco control beyond the transnational tobacco companies (TTCs). METHODS We reviewed 69 academic articles (2013 to 2019) and five tobacco industry journal issues. RESULTS We identify six major processes in tobacco production: farming, primary processing of the leaf, secondary processing into products such as cigarettes, packaged product, usage by smokers, and decay. Supply chain actors include seed and plant retailers, farmers, leaf processors, wholesalers, brokers and middlemen, manufacturers, retailers, smokers and refuse collectors with considerable variation in intermediate actors by location. Supporting industries supply additives, machinery, packaging, logistics, marketing, and research and development (R&D). CONCLUSIONS This expanded understanding of the supply chain can enable wider appreciation of the various incentives and risks of being involved in the industry, as well as how profit and power is accrued and distributed among participants, all of which is important information to feed into tobacco control policies. Researchers and campaigners, seeking to design effective policy preventing the expansion of this industry and the health harms it produces, need to look beyond the TTCs to identify under-exploited leverage points along the entire tobacco supply chain.
