DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICABILITY OF SUPER LARGE SCALE DIRECT SHEAR TEST APPARATUS

construction and validation of the translation teacher competency test and the scale of students’ perceptions of translation teachers

the major purpose of this study was to develop the translation teacher competency test (ttct) and examine its construct and predictive validity. the present study was conducted in two phases: a qualitative phase as well as a quantitative phase. in the first phase of the study, the author attempted to find out the major areas of competency required for an academic translation teacher. the second...

design, development and test of apparatus to measurement of electrical resistance and impedance of fruit

electrical properties of fruits are accepted indicators for detecting fruit quality. electrical resistanceone reluctance can detect quality factors and are sensitive to variations in the concentration and stateof water. therefore, these properties can be associated with maturity, damage, overripe condition,decay or other quality factors. in most of previous research on electrical resistance and...

Surface force apparatus for nanorheology under large shear strain.

We describe a surface force apparatus designed to probe the rheology of a nanoconfined medium under large shear amplitudes (up to 500 microm). The instrument can be operated in closed loop, controlling either the applied normal load or the thickness of the medium during shear experiments. Feedback control allows us to greatly extend the range of confinement/shear strain attainable with the surf...
