The use of pressure-actuated cellular structures (PACS) is an effective approach for the application compliant mechanisms. Analogous to model in nature, Venus flytrap, they are made discrete pressure-activated rows and can be deformed with high stiffness at a deformation rate. In previous work, new innovative their integral textile-based manufacturing has been demonstrated based on weaving tech...

There are two obvious ways to map a two-dimension relational database table onto a one-dimensional storage interface: store the table row-by-row, or store the table column-by-column. Historically, database system implementations and research have focused on the row-by row data layout, since it performs best on the most common application for database systems: business transactional data process...

in order to evaluate the comparison of different intercropping patterns of cumin (cuminum cyminum l. ) with lentil (lens culinaris l.) in double crop, a field experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications and eight treatment at the farm located in west azerbaijan province - city nagadeh, iran during growing reason of 2011-2012. treatments included ...

We consider a two echelon supply chain where a single retailer holds an inventory of finished goods to satisfy an i.i.d. customer demand, and a single manufacturer produces the retailer’s replenishment orders on a make-to-order basis. The objective of this paper is to analyse the impact of the retailer’s replenishment policy (order variance amplification/dampening) on supply chain performance. ...

[1] We discuss numerical simulations of evolving fault zone structures in a 3-D lithospheric model with a seismogenic crust governed by a damage rheology that accounts for large strain associated with permanent brittle deformation. Results for the initial propagation of an existing narrow damage zone subjected to oblique loading exhibit strong asymmetry of the evolving damage with respect to th...

Front row burden is one of the key parameter to improve the bench blasting results. Improper design of the front row burden can create nuisances in the form of ground vibration, flyrock, back break or it may responsible for breakage of improper fragment size from the rockmass. Therefore, front row burden need to be optimised on the basis of proper scientific assessment. It has been proved that ...

Vernonia galamensis Cass is a huge potential industrial crop with very high content of vernolic acid in the seed oil. The experiment was carried out to determine the effect of inter- and intra- row spacing on the yield and yield related traits of Vernonia galamensis Cas.The experiment was conducted for two years during 2014-2015 on experimental field of Wondo Genet Agricultural research center,...
