The natural fiber-reinforced thermoplastic tape was produced using a novel process assembly that involves drawframe and double belt press. First, the state-of-the-art film-stacking modified through integration of to supply fiber preforms for reinforcement, adding thermoplastics films as matrix material processing them unidirectional (UD tapes) Based on that, new approach investigated commingled...

Nematode specimens for taxonomical work generally are mounted permanently in glycerol between two coverslips in a Cobbs aluminum slide or on a glass slide under a thin coverslip. In both cases, glass fibers of suitable diameter are used to keep the coverslip from pressing on the specimens. For larger nematodes, pieces of nickel-chrome wire can be used instead of the glass fibers (1). These type...

Due to the information explosion we are witnessing, a growing number of applications store, maintain, and retrieve large volumes of data, where the data is required to be available online or near-online. These data repositories are implemented using hierarchical storage structures (HSS). One of the components of HSS is tertiary storage, which provides a cost-effective storage for the vast amoun...

In the sixty-five years since Turing introduced his eponymous machines, many popular misconceptions about their properties have become current. In this paper, we explore the notions that Turing machines have infinite tapes and that their expressive power is limited by by an inability to interact with the wider environment during computations.

Taeniasis caused by Taenia solium—the pork tapeworm—or Taenia saginata—the beef tapeworm, and is endemic in Southeast Asia. In a study by Wani et al. [1], the prevalence of T. saginata asiatica was reported to be 7.69 % in rural Kashmir which was secondary to ingestion of measly beef. Most cases of taeniasis are asymptomatic and usually complain of passage of proglottids with stools. However, o...

In this paper, we present a novel approach for Human Computer Interaction (HCI) where, we control cursor movement using a real-time camera. Current methods involve changing mouse parts such as adding more buttons or changing the position of the tracking ball. Instead, our method is to use a camera and computer vision technology, such as image segmentation and gesture recognition, to control mou...

It was in 1947 that perhaps the first use was made of closed-circuit television when the proceedings of five surgical operations were transmitted to a group of physicians at a medical meeting at Johns Hopkins (Berger, 1970). In psychiatry, the first reports of the use of closed circuit television in the teaching of medical students and psychiatric nurses, as well as residents were probably by W...

A numerical code has been developed in order to investigate the applicability of permanent magnet method vertically-stacked multiple high-temperature superconducting (HTS) tapes. The was proposed simply and contactlessly measure critical current density HTS tape. By this method, is estimated from proportional relation between Lorentz force working on magnet. Maxwell equation, coupled with super...
