The Histoplasma antigen immunoassay utilizes an antibody sandwich method that provides a rapid and reliable means of diagnosing the more severe forms of histoplasmosis. Inhibition assays have been developed for antigen detection and offer at least one potential advantage, namely, reduced antibody requirements. We have developed an inhibition assay using the polyclonal antibody employed in our s...

‎in the present paper‎, ‎by making use of the differential subordination and‎ ‎superordination results of miller and mocanu‎, ‎  ‎certain classes of admissible functions ‎are determined so that subordination as well as superordination implications‎ ‎of functions associated with an integral operator hold‎. ‎additionally‎, ‎differential sandwich-type result is obtained‎.

in this paper, the non-linear dynamic response of novel steel sandwich panel with hollow i-core subjected to blast loading was studied. special emphasis is placed on the evaluation of midpoint displacements and energy dissipation of the models. several parameters such as boundary conditions, strain rate, mesh dependency and asymmetrical loading are considered in this study. the material and geo...

Sandwich structures with thin, strong skin layers on both sides of a thick, compliant and light core combine low weight, high bending stiffness, high strength and high buckling resistance. These structures find use in many applications such as aircraft, marine applications and wind turbine blades. When used for wind turbine blades the sandwich structures are mainly made from FRP laminate skins ...

A system is presented for monitoring the work of a fastfood employee using a single static camera. Skin detection, shadow detection, and region-growing are used as low-level techniques in order to analyze a video of an employee preparing a hamburger or sandwich. At the end of the video, the system produces a description of the sandwich that was prepared, for example: [bread, turkey, lettuce, br...

We generalize the ham sandwich theorem to d+1 measures in R as follows. Let μ1, μ2, . . . , μd+1 be absolutely continuous finite Borel measures on R. Let ωi = μi(R ) for i ∈ [d + 1], ω = min{ωi; i ∈ [d + 1]} and assume that ∑d+1 j=1 ωj = 1. Assume that ωi ≤ 1/d for every i ∈ [d + 1]. Then there exists a hyperplane h such that each open halfspace H defined by h satisfies μi(H) ≤ ( ∑d+1 j=1 μj(H)...

The bending behavior of composites sandwich plates with multi-layered laminated face sheets has been investigated, using a new four-nodded rectangular finite element formulation based on a layer-wise theory. Both, first order and higher-order shear deformation; theories are used in order to model the face sheets and the core, respectively. Unlike any other layer-wise theory, the number of degre...

Auxetic cellular solids in the forms of honeycombs and foams have great potential in a diverse range of applications, including as core material in curved sandwich panel composite components, radome applications, directional pass band filters, adaptive and deployable structures, filters and sieves, seat cushion material, energy absorption components, viscoelastic damping materials and fastening...
