Abstract We report on the near-infrared polarimetric observations of RCW 120 with 1.4 m IRSF telescope. The starlight polarization background stars reveals for first time magnetic field 120. global is along direction 20°, parallel to Galactic plane. strength plane sky 100 ± 26 μ G. around eastern shell shows evidence compression by H ii region. external pressure (turbulent + pressure) and gas d...

Mainly composed of elastic materials, ship fenders are utilised on all kinds vessels for the protection berthing structures and prevention damage due to heavy crash loads. This study aims enhance deformation mode performance foam-filled under quasi-static dynamic loadings. Six models fender’s structure chosen simulation test. The examined crashworthiness parameters such as crushing force effici...

In the present article, a numerical study is performed to investigate the crushing behavior of cylindrical and conical corrugated composite tubes. Different aluminum foams are applied to the proposed structures in order to offer an excellent energy absorption capacity. The crushing behavior of tubes are evaluated in terms of two parameters: SEA (specific energy absorption) and CFE (crush force ...

Abstract: Classification of the cervical cell is one of the most important and crucial tasks in the medical image analysis. Due to its importance, the aim of the paper is to investigate about the classification of Cervical Cell as Normal Cell or Abnormal Cell by using individual feature extraction method and combining individual feature extraction features method with the classification techniq...

BACKGROUND The analgesic effect of capsaicin (the active ingredient in Capsicum frutescens Linn. [Solanaceae]) had been reported in several studies. Current research is being directed at producing analgesics, anti-inflammatory agents with better side effect profile. OBJECTIVES To investigate if either the ethyl acetate extract of Capsicum frutescens Linn. [Solanaceae] (CFE) or capsaicin (Fluk...

In Scotland, work has been done over the past six years to transform education towards a fresh approach to what, how and where young people learn. This new approach, known as the Curriculum for Excellence (CfE), has already been developing in primary schools and is now ready to be implemented in secondary schools. One of the teaching and learning approaches emphasised under CfE is the use of di...

Context. Star formation efficiency (SFE) theories are currently based on statistical distributions of turbulent cloud structures and a simple model of star formation from cores. They remain poorly tested, especially at the highest densities. Aims. We investigate the effects of gas density on the SFE through measurements of the core formation efficiency (CFE). With a total mass of ∼2 × 104 M , t...

This paper proposes a new mechanics-based model for the seismic design of beam-to-column panel zone joints in steel moment-resisting frames. The is based on realistic shear stress distributions retrieved from continuum finite element (CFE) analyses representative geometries. Comparisons with comprehensive experimental data set suggest that proposed predicts stiffness and strength noteworthy acc...

INTRODUCTION Sites of complex fractionated atrial electrograms (CFAE) and dominant frequency (DF) have been implicated in maintaining atrial fibrillation (AF); however, their relationship is poorly understood. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty patients underwent biatrial high-density contact mapping (507 +/- 150 points/patient) during AF. CFAE were characterized using software to quantify electrogra...
