The use of biodegradable materials has a growing field application due to environmental concerns, however, scientific research on incremental forming using biomaterials is scarce. Thus, this study focuses the single point (SPIF) process applied composite sheet that combines thermoplastic matrix (Solanyl) reinforced with natural fibres (flax). influence parameters final geometry determined, eval...

We formally introduce the concept of localizing the Elliott conjecture at a given strongly self-absorbing C∗-algebra D; we also explain how the known classification theorems for nuclear C∗-algebras fit into this concept. As a new result in this direction, we employ recent results of Lin to show that (under a mild K-theoretic condition) the class of separable, unital, simple C∗-algebras with loc...
