Mechanical properties of silk of the Australian golden orb weavers Nephila pilipes and Nephila plumipes
Silks from orb-weaving spiders are exceptionally tough, producing a model polymer for biomimetic fibre development. The mechanical properties of naturally spun silk threads from two species of Australian orb-weavers, Nephila pilipes and Nephilaplumipes, were examined here in relation to overall thread diameter, the size and number of fibres within threads, and spider size. N. pilipes, the large...
متن کاملThe hardest logic puzzle ever becomes even tougher
" The hardest logic puzzle ever " presented by George Boolos became a target for philosophers and logicians who tried to modify it and make it even tougher. I propose further modification of the original puzzle where part of the available information is eliminated but the solution is still possible. The solution also gives interesting ideas on logic behind discovery of unknown language.
متن کاملSulfur Plants: Simplify Tail Gas Clean Up, Lower Costs
Tougher regulations for emissions reductions require refiners to achieve ever higher sulfur recovery efficiency in their Sulfur Recovery Units. A classic solution is to use an amine-based tail gas clean up unit (TGCU) behind a Claus plant. A U.S. refiner, working on a major capacity increase, evaluated and selected an alternate technology. They selected the SUPERCLAUS® Tail Gas Clean Up Process...
متن کاملPushing Tougher Constraints in Frequent Pattern Mining
In this paper we extend the state-of-art of the constraints that can be pushed in a frequent pattern computation. We introduce a new class of tough constraints, namely Loose Anti-monotone constraints, and we deeply characterize them by showing that they are a superclass of convertible anti-monotone constraints (e.g. constraints on average or median) and that they model tougher constraints (e.g....
متن کاملCommunity picture archiving and communications systems: burgeoning market.
Choosing a PACS is tougher than it used to be. More and more vendors are offering solutions in the smaller hospital space, and analyzing the sheer number of vendors, the various technology choices and breadth of product offerings is challenging. However, even the smallest healthcare organizations are documenting the return on investment from reduction in film and film storage costs, reduction i...
