Current mosaicing methods use narrow field of view cameras to acquire image data. This poses problems when computing a complete spherical mosaic. First, a large number of images are needed to capture a sphere. Second, errors in mosaicing make it difficult to complete the spherical mosaic without seams. Third, with a hand-held camera it is hard for the user to ensure complete coverage of the sph...

Activated carbon was prepared from agricultural waste “almond (Prunus amygdalus) nut shells” by chemical activation with phosphoric acid as an activating agent at 450 C for 24 hr soaking time. The physical and chemical properties were analyzed. The adsorption of chromium VI from aqueous solution on almond nut shell activated carbon (ASAC) was investigated. The adsorption process parameters pH, ...

The present study reports the effects of aeration and agitation on growth and production of the cyclosporin A (CyA) in batch fermentor cultures of Tolypocladium inflatum MTCC 557. Dissolved oxygen concentration, pH, dry cell wt, CyA titer and sugar utilization were continuously measured and determined. In the first step, the effect of agitation was evaluated by changing the agitation speed in t...

BACKGROUND Plasma natriuretic peptides are increased in patients with cardiac dysfunction. N-terminal (NT-ANP) and B-type (BNP) natriuretic peptides were measured in disease-free breast cancer survivors, during long-term follow-up after epirubicin (360 mg/m2 or 450 mg/m2 cumulatively) and chest irradiation. PATIENTS AND METHODS Plasma samples for natriuretic peptide measurement were repeated ...

We proposed a new transmission to control the flow difference between left and right pumps in total artificial hearts. The consists of input output shafts, magnetorheological fluid, electromagnets with adjustable current position. A motor rotates shaft transmission. transfers torque that decelerated rotational speed according resistance fluid. First, we measured when load is 5 mNm, was 2000 rpm...

Portable electronic devices are dependent on batteries as the ultimate source of power. Irrefutably, only have a limited operating period they need to be regularly replaced or recharged. In many situations, power grid infrastructure is not easily accessible recharge and recharging duration also convenient for user wait. Enhancement reliable system by preventing interruptions in remote areas ess...

The Cross-flow turbine is one type of hydroelectric power plant that frequently used. This an experimental study with the goal analyzing and efficiency produced by as a result runner rotation adjustments. variations used are 261 rpm, 300 320 340 360 380 392 423 rpm head high 5 meters incoming water discharge 0.2 m3/s. best results shown when rotate at rpm. It's showed maximum 788.85 Watt 80.49%...

The article presents the results of a study performance seed-removing (perforated) tube with diameter 125 mm. To practical mm, 30-saw cotton gin cleaning section was developed. As result study, regression equation derived to determine productivity tube, depending on density raw roller and rotational velocity perforated tube. research, decrease in (from 149.75 54.91 kg/h) established 227 219 kg/...
