According to English tradition, a "storm in a tea cup" means that a particular issue has been blown out of all proportion. This quaint English interpretation can be applied to the teatcup and cluster because milking machine effects on mastitis usually are smaller and less important than the effects of milking management, herd management and cow or teat characteristics. Nevertheless, the inside ...

Methods of modifying the water distribution pattern of an impact-drive sprinkler are described. A method of pattern modification called intermittent diffusion is introduced. A deflector attached to the drive arm intermittently diffuses the jet of a standard circular-orifice nozzle, producing desirable pattern shapes while maintaining a large pattern radius. Uniformity of application for both wi...

In this paper, we propose an exact solution method for the Windy Rural Postman Problem (WRPP). The motivation to study this problem comes from some real-life applications, such as garbage collecting in a predefined sector with hills, where the traversing or the servicing speed can change following the direction. We present a Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition and a branch-and-price algorithm to solve ...

Henna stone is a lesser-known commercially available material used to obtain black henna paste (1). In some countries, including Turkey, local herb sellers sell it as ‘natural stone’, a so-called natural source for black henna. The stone has to be crushed into powder first, and then mixed with water, hydrogen peroxide and, sometimes, natural henna to obtain black henna paste for the purpose of ...

The present study aimed to investigate the increasing solidification rate during directional developed from in situ composites of M7C3/austenite eutectic, with a small portion dendrites, and partial equiaxed structures. M7C3 fibre aligned along solidified direction composites; however, its orientation shape became irregular among dendrites. In composite structure has higher tensile strength tha...

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) and their hybrid combinations are widely incorporated in research due to enhanced mechanical properties wear resistance. In this work, an investigation is made fabricate AA2024 flyash graphite-reinforced composite for industrial applications determine its suitability by performing testing characterization. Tensile compressive strength, resistance, fracture toughne...

A significant carbon diffusion mobility acceleration as a result of cyclic γ↔ε martensitic transformations in iron-manganese alloy is determined by one- and two-dimensional structure defects of ε-martensite with face-centered close-packed lattice. Such defects (dislocations, low angle sub-boundaries of dislocations, chaotic stacking faults) were formed during cyclic γ↔ε martensitic transformati...

This paper describes the original FaMar method of user's identification. The method bases on the fusion of Wavelet Transform (WT) and Hidden Markov Models (HMM), which is used for three parts of the face (eyes, nose, and mouth) separately.
