The study of liquid force has a special meaning to industrial manufacturing. By taking the bridges between equal and unequal particles as objects, force-displacement curves were measured recorded by using novel Nano UTM T150 tensile system. influences diameter, diameter ratio, volume, surface tension on force-distance curve, maximum force, rupture distance compared sorted. results show that bot...

OBJECTIVE To determine the safest, least costly, and most effective way to select patients with symptomatic carotid ischaemic events for carotid angiography before carotid endarterectomy. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING University departments of clinical neurosciences and clinical neurology. PATIENTS 485 Patients with carotid territory transient ischaemic attacks of the brain (n ...

The nonexistence of digraphs with order equal to the Moore bound Md;k = 1+d+: : :+d k for d; k > 1 has lead to the study of the problem of the existence ofàlmost' Moore digraphs, namely digraphs with order close to the Moore bound. In 1], it was shown that almost Moore digraphs of order Md;k ? 1, degree d, diameter k (d; k 3) contain either no cycle of length k or exactly one such cycle. In thi...

If a nonsymmetric P-polynomial association scheme, or equivalently. a distanceregular digraph, has diameter d and girth g. then d = g or d = g 1, by Damerell’s theorem. The dual of this theorem was proved by Leonard. In this paper, we prove that the diameter of a nonsymmetric Pand Q-polynomial association scheme is one less than its girth and its cogirth. We also give a structure theorem for a ...

In this paper we refine the notion of tree-decomposition by introducing acyclic (R,D)-clustering, where clusters are subsets of vertices of a graph and R and D are the maximum radius and the maximum diameter of these subsets. We design a routing scheme for graphs admitting induced acyclic (R,D)-clustering where the induced radius and the induced diameter of each cluster are at most 2. We show t...

Zinnia elegans, an annual flowering plant of the genus Zinnia, is one of the best known zinnias. Present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different growing media on the growth and flowering of Zinnia elegans. Seven different growth media including coconut compost, silt, soil loam, leaf manure, (leaf manure + silt; 2:1), (coconut compost + soil loam; 1:1) and (leaf...

Different voice qualities tend to vary in terms of their intrinsic loudness. Perceptual experiments have shown that voice quality variation can be strongly associated with the affective colouring of an utterance. The question addressed in this paper concerns the role that the intrinsic loudness variation might play in this voice quality-to-affect mapping. To test the hypothesis that the intrins...
