The WHIP (Workflows Hosted In Portals) project is building a set of software plug-ins to enable interactive, user driven, workflow integration, sharing, and collaboration within Web portals. This software architecture enables the dynamic publishing of workflows, facilitating information exchange and scientific collaboration. The WHIP plug-in provides functionality to perform composition, editin...

Whip type antennas are probably the most commonly used antennas in portable RF systems, such as cordless and cellular phones, RF enabled laptop computers, , and handheld computers. Whip antennas are almost always mounted on the chassis which contains the radio and other electronics. Normally in mobile phone two set of antenna used for receiving different application such as GSM and GPS. In this...

Whip use in horseracing is increasingly being questioned on ethical, animal welfare, social sustainability, and legal grounds. Despite this, there is weak evidence for whip use and its regulation by Stewards in Australia. To help address this, we characterised whip rule breaches recorded by Stewards using Stewards Reports and Race Diaries from 2013 and 2016 in New SouthWales (NSW) and the Austr...

Sugarcane smut disease, caused by the biotrophic fungus Sporisorium scitamineum, is characterized by the development of a whip-like structure from the plant meristem. The disease causes negative effects on sucrose accumulation, fiber content and juice quality. The aim of this study was to exam whether the transcriptomic changes already described during the infection of sugarcane by S. scitamine...

Sugarcane smut disease is caused by the biotrophic fungus Sporisorium scitamineum. The disease is characterized by the development of a whip-like structure from the primary meristems, where billions of teliospores are produced. Sugarcane smut also causes tillering and low sucrose and high fiber contents, reducing cane productivity. We investigated the biological events contributing to disease s...

Robotic control of complex objects is inferior to that of humans despite superior communication, sensors and actuators. Therefore, studying human control of complex dynamic objects, in particular a bullwhip, should reveal how humans may achieve superior dexterity. An expert whip-cracker performing two distinct targeting tasks, discrete and rhythmic, was observed using the Qualisys 3D motion cap...

The crack of a whip is produced by a shock wave created by the supersonic motion of the tip of the whip in the air. A simple dynamical model for the propagation and acceleration of waves in the motion of whips is presented. The respective contributions of tension, tapering, and boundary conditions in the acceleration of an initial impulse are studied theoretically and numerically.

AIM The present study was aimed to assess the transferability of occlusal plane (OP) orientation from the patient to the articulators with the help of two different facebow systems and evaluated with a gold standard. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty dentate patients were selected for the study. Two semi-adjustable arcon articulators that are Hanau Wide(®) Vue using SpringBow and Whip Mix(®) using...

Gesneriaceae. Root cuttings were used for various fruit crops, horseradish (Armoracia rusticana P. Gaertn., B Mey. & Scherb.), and others. It was known that when shoots were regenerated adventitiously, as with root cuttings or leaf cuttings, traits (such as variegation), which are associated with chimeras were lost (Bailey, 1896). Humidity control was not nearly as good as today s mist and fog ...

A new chlorinated briarane, fragilide J (1), has been isolated from the sea whip gorgonian coral Junceella fragilis. In addition, the sea whip gorgonian coral Ellisella robusta yielded two chlorinated briaranes, including a new compound, robustolide L (2), and a known metabolite, robustolide H (3). The structures of these compounds were determined using spectroscopic methods. The structure, inc...
