Wet friction clutches play a critical role in a transmission system. The clutches progressively degrade while the transmission is under operational condition. If the clutches unexpectedly fail, then the complete transmission will fail. To avoid unexpected failures, a proper condition monitoring tool extended with a lifetime prediction method must be implemented. In order to achieve this, approp...

The density of biochemical factors of blood in wet cupping is statistically different from phlebotomy In summary we have cupped 40 volunteers and at the same time we sampled their venous blood. Then wet cupping and venous samples were sent to the lab for comparing blood triglyceride, cholesterol, sugar, urea, uric acid and creatinine factors. The results show that there are significant differen...

Wet-in-wet flow effect is a famous phenomenon in Chinese ink paintings. In this paper, we propose a new two-stage algorithm to synthesize this renowned effect. Given a reference image, in the first stage, we render the reference image using a new color ink diffusion synthesis algorithm. This physically-based algorithm explores a new and more sensitive Kubelka-Munk (SK-M) equation. As a result, ...
