Two types of white wheat bread (high- and low-type loaves) were investigated for rope spoilage. Thirty of the 56 breads tested developed rope spoilage within 5 days; the high-type loaves were affected by rope spoilage more than the low-type loaves. Sixty-one Bacillus strains were isolated from ropy breads and were characterized on the basis of their phenotypic and genotypic traits. All of the i...

the main purpose of this study is to perform numerical simulation of nanofluids as the coolant in vver-440 fuel rod bundle. the fuel rod bundle contains 60 fuel rods with length of 960 mm and 4 spacer grids. in vver-440 fuel rod bundle the coolant fluid (water) is in high pressure and temperature condition. in the present thermo-hydraulic simulation, water-al2o3 nanofluids containing various vo...

When a takeup weight is offset to the side of a conveyor, a wire rope is commonly routed from the take-up weight through a series of sheaves to the take-up carriage. The friction developed from a series of wire rope sheaves can effect the actual belt tension at the take-up carriage. Through real-time testing the actual tension on a takeup carriage was recorded with data acquisition using an int...

ARTICLE INFO In many applications it is required to control a large output load using a relatively low control force. To satisfy such purposes, device like mechanical power amplifier can be used which generally gives very fast response. As per the requirement of the system, power can be instantaneously available from continuously rotating drums of mechanical power amplifier. This project will f...

catheter ablation is an accepted, highly effective modality of treatment for cardiac arrhythmias in children. the success rate depends on the operator’s experience, especially in cases involving complex anatomies. we hereby report our recent experience of successful ablation of accessory pathways in three children with complex congenital heart diseases. the first case was a 7-year-old girl with...

Ensuring that all the head ropes on a multi-rope friction winder share load equally has been design and maintenance issue since they were first developed. Accurate machining of rope grooves is necessary to meet this objective. Early analysis change loads for in are mismatched depth treated as rigid. Groove tolerances deduced from stringent difficult achieve practice. Test work indicated inheren...

The viscometric functions for shear flow as predicted by the inextensible reptating rope model have been analysed numerically and analytically. The results obtained are compared with the predictions of the Curtiss-Bird theory. It is shown that if the correlation length of the rope is small as compared to its contour length significant deviations from the Curtiss-Bird theory are obtained. Result...

Abstract The Valles Marineris Explorer Cooperative Swarm navigation, Mission and Control research project aims to explore the canyon system on Mars with, among others, multibody rotary-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) comprising of a hexrotor helium-filled balloon being attached it by means rope. In this paper, we develop high-fidelity closed-loop control in MATLAB ® Simulink™ present appli...
