A field emission from a lateral emitter made by a multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) yarn was investigated. The lateral emitter showed an excellent field emission performance with a low turn-on electric field of 1.13 V/μm at an emission current of 1 μA, high emission current of 0.2 mA at an applied voltage of 700 V, and longtime emission stability for over 20 h without any significant current ...

Many factors such as production methods and structural parameters have distinctive influence on the quality and performance of a hand woven carpet. To investigate the effects of some variables, eighteen samples of carpet vary, in knot density, pile height and percentage of slipe wool, were manufactured. Pile yarn performance was assessed by using load-displacement compression curve, obtained fr...

Mineral-based composites are presented as a real alternative to the use of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites. However, most studies have focused only on global mechanical behavior mineral-based The objective this paper is develop 3D numerical model in order predict and local tensile glass yarn/ettringitic matrix Two configurations been studied including dry pre-impregnated yarn. This mo...

In Part 1 of Greg Bear's science fiction novel “Darwin’s Children,” Kaye Rafelson, a scientist, virologist, and mother of a so-called “virus child” (a child born through a pregnancy induced by the SHEVA virus and therefore a mutant, a freak, a potentially dangerous creature) is reviewing a paper where she tries not only to demystify the myths and prejudices about viruses, but also to suggest an...

YARN (Yet Another RussNet), a project started in 2013, aims at creating a large open WordNet-like thesaurus for Russian by means of crowdsourcing. The first stage of the project was to create noun synsets. Currently, the resource comprises 100K+ word entries and 46K+ synsets. More than 200 people have taken part in assembling synsets throughout the project. The paper describes the linguistic, t...

Yarn tension during manufacturing has a large influence on the processing efficiency, yarn properties, and hence on fabric characteristics. In this work the dynamic tension two-for-one twister was investigated and the effect of various parameters the dynamic were studied. A test set-up unit was built to simulate the Two-for-one twister, so the effect of spindle speed, winding velocity feed pack...

In order to determine the relationship between fiber properties of yarn quality in article, experiments were conducted using a passive method mathematical planning and regression equation was obtained for each optimal parameter. Based on experiments, it found that decrease micronaire, an increase tensile strength, length uniformity, leads specific strength yarn, coefficient variation number bre...

Nowadays the surface texturing has been widely recognized as a usable capability to improve the tribological systems. In this paper, ultrasonic assisted turning (UAT) isperformed to create the micro textures on the flat faces. Micro surface texturing ismade on the Al7075-T6 by the UAT in the face turning process. Then, the influences of cutting speed feed, vibration direction and vibration ampl...

After receiving bad publicity in 2012 and being removed from many ground beef products, finely textured beef (referred to as 'pink slime' by some) is making a comeback. Some of its proponents argue that consumers prefer ground beef containing finely textured beef, but no objective scientific party has tested this claim-that is the purpose of the present study. Over 200 untrained subjects partic...

Fiber-reinforced composite materials have many advantages in various engineering applications when compared to traditional such as glass, metals, ceramics and unreinforced plastics. Recently, textile-reinforced composites are increasingly used industries including aerospace, construction automotive. This study aims investigate the geometric characteristics of three-dimensional (3D) woven prefor...
