in this paper, a new non-contact ultrasonic abrasive finishing mechanism is designed and fabricated. this mechanism combines the function of ultrasonic vibrations and the magnetic abrasive finishing (maf) process. a permanent magnet which is mounted on a horn has been used as the processing tool. this polishing tool is vibrated at an ultrasonic frequency with piezo-electric actuators. ultrasoni...

The effects of air temperature, relative and specific humidity, wind speed, solar shortwave radiation, thermal longwave radiation, and rain on the performance of participants in the annual Stockholm Marathon from 1980 to 2008 were analysed statistically. The objective was to validate and extend previous studies by including data on finishing times of slower male and female runners and on the pe...
