Envelope Detection (ED) is traditionally always used with Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to identify the rolling element bearing faults. The inability of FFT to detect non-stationary signals makes Wavelet Analysis (WA) an alternative for machinery fault diagnosis as WA can detect both stationary and non-stationery signals. A comparative study of ED with FFT and WA techniques for bearing fault dia...

In this paper, two Japanese particles wa and mo are taken up. Wa is known as a topic marker and mo is a correspondent of English particles too and also. After reviewing several studies that claim topics and particles like too and also evoke alternatives, a formal semantic system with structured meanings is constructed for wa and mo, incorporating the insights of the previous studies. The propos...

The work of hospital food service is characterized by demands that can be associated with work ability--WA. The aim of this study was to evaluate factors associated with WA among hospital food service professionals and recommend intervention measures. This is a cross sectional study carried out in 2009, conducted in a hospital of São Paulo, Brazil. Participants were 76 (96.2%) of the eligible. ...

Withaferin A (WA), a major bioactive component of the Indian herb Withania somnifera, induces cell death (apoptosis/necrosis) in multiple types of tumor cells, but the molecular mechanism underlying this cytotoxicity remains elusive. We report here that 2 μM WA induced cell death selectively in androgen-insensitive PC-3 and DU-145 prostate adenocarcinoma cells, whereas its toxicity was less sev...

The Iranian poultry sector has experienced many significant structural changes in recent years. Such changes may have influenced price dynamics and transmission of shocks through marketing channels especially on retail markets. This paper investigate price transmission, threshold behavior and asymmetric adjustment in poultry sector of Ardebil (AR), east Azerbaijan (EA) and west Azerbaijan (WA) ...
