in the third season excavation of lama cemetery (chal shahin lama), a cylindrical seal with inscription was found and because of its significance, it was introduced, compared and analyzed. existence of this seal indicates the continuation of nomadic practices of the people of this cemetery in spite of change of material culture (for example, ceramic). the seal of lama and its grave reflect the ...

This article presents a seal development approach that takes actual operating conditions (mounting, sealed pressure, lubricating conditions), seal material, and counterpart machining tolerances into account. The approach was applied to the design of seals for a commercial pneumatic spool valve. A single seal geometry and two seat configurations were specified on the basis of finite element anal...

In order to improve the environmental adaptability and sealing performance of the rotating seal, the principles and failure mechanisms of the rotating seal in ambient pressure in deep-sea is researched. It is proposed that the excessive friction caused by the ambient pressure and the magnitude of interference is the main reason for rotating seal failure. To reduce friction effect, a combined li...

The purpose of this study to clarify the factors an effecting lip seal in Japanese adults with malocclusion. Sixty-three malocclusion patients aged 20 to 27 years were randomly selected and compared with fourteen normal occlusion controls aged 22 to 26 years old. The subjects were divided into a good seal group and a poor lip seal group by observing the distance between the upper and lower lip ...

The disturbances of orofacial functions lead to abnormal growth and development of the orofacial complex. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of incompetent lip seal and respiration disturbance, and to improve the understanding of correlation between incompetent lip seal and morphological malocclusions. In the sample of 84 children (45 girls and 39 boys, aged 8.96 +/- 0.66 year...

To assess the potential effects of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) on the expression of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2B and 3A isozymes in Baikal seal, the 5′-flanking regions of these CYP genes were isolated, and transactivation analysis was performed by in vitro reporter gene assay system. The 3.2 kbp of CYP2B and 2.2 kbp of CYP3A gene promoter/enhancer regions were cloned and sequenced from Ba...

The rotordynamic and leaking characteristics of two types of gas damper seals, honeycomb seal and pocket damper seal, were experimentally evaluated on a rotating test rig. The effect of supply pressure, preswirl, and seal eccentricity on seal dynamic performance was investigated in the tests. The pressurized working gas flowed through the seal and exhausted to atmospheric conditions. The maximu...

--Many watermarking methods for protecting the intellectual property right and authenticating multimedia data have been proposed in recent years. It is possible to guarantee the authenticity of data using readable and fragile watermarking. In this paper, we propose a visible watermarking technique using verifiable digital seal image that is based on the concept of fragile watermarking. Seal ima...
