Wood is a common material used for the manufacture of many products, and submerged wood, in particular, has been used in niche markets and musical instruments. In order to examine if submerged wood in British Columbia, Canada, would be appropriate for use as musical instruments, a study was performed in 2007 on submerged wood from Ootsa Lake, British Columbia, Canada. The results of that study ...

In process of AC square wave submerged arc welding, electric signal waveform determines the arc energy characteristics in the time and frequency domain, which also reflects the arc stability of welding proc ess and quality indirectly. Using Wigner-Ville distribution (WVD), time frequency analysis is conducted to the current signal of AC square wave submerged arc welding. The Pseudo Wigner-Ville...

To investigate the production of cellulases from Aspergillus heteromorphus, submerged fermentation was performed using wheat straw as substrate. Optimization of saccharification conditions like pH, temperature and time were studied. Highest reducing sugar was released on 5 day at 5 pH, 30 C temperature. When A. heteromorphous was grown on wheat straw in submerged fermentation after 5 days incub...

The use of time-frequency entropy to quantitatively assess the stability of submerged arc welding process considering the distribution features of arc energy is reported in this paper. Time-frequency entropy is employed to calculate and analyze the stationary current signals, non-stationary current and voltage signals in the submerged arc welding process. It is obtained that time-frequency entr...

A dissected-leaved form of Ranunculus repens L. occurs in the temporary limestone lakes (turloughs) across the west of Ireland. Turloughs fill with groundwater for up to 8 months of the year. Under experimental conditions, these turlough populations demonstrated a higher rate of aerial and submerged photosynthesis than populations of the more typical broad-leaved ruderal form. The turlough popu...

Submerged marine investigation still remains a puzzle. The motivation behind this paper is to address the issues in plan and improvement of submerged vehicles with hindrance shirking and moving help for administrator in marine condition utilizing fluffy rationale controller. A symmetrical, practical and little measured submerged Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) with three thrusters is intended f...

The conventional placement protocol for submerged and non-submerged implants was proposed in the 1960s and 1970s. Multicenter studies have reported satisfactory success rates for both protocols and a similar loss of crestal peri-implant bone after implant loading (0.5 to 1.5 mm). In recent years, placement of submerged implants using a single surgical procedure was introduced, with the immediat...

Coprinus cinereus has two main types of mycelia, the asexual monokaryon and the sexual dikaryon, formed by fusion of compatible monokaryons. Syngamy (plasmogamy) and karyogamy are spatially and temporally separated, which is typical for basidiomycetous fungi. This property of the dikaryon enables an easy exchange of nuclear partners in further dikaryotic-monokaryotic and dikaryotic-dikaryotic m...

The ability to sustain high swimming speeds is believed to be an important factor affecting resource acquisition in fishes. While we have gained insights into how fin morphology and motion influences swimming performance in coral reef fishes, the role of other traits, such as body shape, remains poorly understood. We explore the ability of two mechanistic models of the causal relationship betwe...
