Siddha is a traditional medical system of India. According to siddha system of medicine, chendooram is a red colour powder generally made of metallic compounds. Mercury is used in the form of rasa chendooram (red oxide of mercury). This paper deals with the standardization of Kantha chendooram. It is a Siddha preparation of 8 ingredients, viz. 1. Purified Lode Stone, 2. Purified Sulphur, 3. Lea...

Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a well known resource and significantly related to development of ventilation-associated pneumonia.(1-3) Pneumonia, the inflammatory response resulting from uncontrolled penetration and proliferation of microorganisms in the lower respiratory tract,(4) is the most common nosocomial infection in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. (1,2,4-6) Martino(7) observed that...

Although event models and corresponding RDF vocabularies are becoming available, the collection of events still requires an initial manual encoding to produce the data. In this paper, we describe a system based on semantic parsing (SRL) to collect automatically events from text and convert them into the LODE model. Furthermore, the system automatically links extracted event properties to the ex...

Low, intermediate and high strain rate tensile experiments are carried out on flat smooth, notched and central-hole tensile specimens extracted from advanced high strength steel sheets. A split Hopkinson pressure bar testing system is used in conjunction with a load inversion device to perform the high strain rate tension experiments. Selected surface strains, as well as local displacements, ar...

Il contributo analizza i sonetti di tre poetesse palermitane: Marta, Laura e Onofria Bonanno. I componimenti furono pubblicati all’interno del primo volume delle Rime dell’Accademia degli Accesi Palermo nel 1571. Pur occupando uno spazio marginale nella raccolta, le si inseriscono a pieno titolo nello scambio socievole conversazione attivato dalle rime corrispondenza in stile petrarchista, dial...

Abstract This paper presents an experimental and numerical study on quasi-static ductile tearing of thin plates the aluminium alloy AA6016 in three tempers. Depending temper, main fracture mechanism plate tests changes from grain boundary failure to coalescence voids nucleated at constituent particles. The experiments are complemented by nonlinear finite element simulations using enriched Gurso...
