hydromechanical deep drawing (hdd) is one of the most convenient processes in which a sheet metal is drawn against a counter pressure rather than a rigid die in conventional stampings. this process has been increasingly used to produce aerospace and automotive components. more recently, aerospace industry is demanding new materials with capability to produce high strength to weight ratio produc...

delay is one of the principal measures of performance used to determine the level of service (los) at signalized intersections and several methods have been widely used to estimate vehicular delay. very few studies only have been carried out to estimate delay at signalized intersections under mixed traffic conditions prevailing in developing countries like india. in the present study, various p...

Handwritten recognition is one of the problems facing researchers in the field of computer vision that many researchers are still finding it difficult to provide solution. Several researches have been carried out on English Language and Asian Character recognition with little work done on the African language character recognition. In this paper, we consider Igbo vowels character recognition; w...

There has been a growing interest of quantitative and qualitative researches in the humanities and social sciences in understanding practices, conditions and impacts of Internet use in education, specifically through teaching and learning empirical contexts and the use of information and communication technologies (ICT). Be it to observe and analyze challenges in implementing and developing dig...

The growing scarcity of fresh water is driving the implementation of wastewater treatment and water reuse on an increasingly large scale. Various methods have been developed and used for water reuse from wastewater; however, the membrane distillation (MD) process, as a promising separation technology, has recently gained more attention. The MD process is a non-isothermal membrane-based separati...

The utilization of trophectoderm biopsy combined with comprehensive chromosome screening (CCS) tests for embryonic aneuploidy was recently suggested to improve IVF outcome, however, not without criticisms. The ongoing discussion on the unrestricted clinical adoption of preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) has called for a proper randomized controlled trial (RCT), aiming to further evaluate t...
