On the basis of farther research about characteristics of single-phase-to-ground fault transient information in neutral indirectly grounded systems and feature information which is abstracted from transient fault signals by wavelet, a novel fault line identifying method using signal singularity detection with the wavelet transform modulus maxims is presented in this paper. A new criterion is co...

Let f be a transcendental entire function of order < 1/2. We denote the maximum and minimum modulus of f by M(r, f) = max{|f(z)| : |z| = r} and m(r, f) = min{|f(z)| : |z| = r}. We obtain a minimum modulus condition satisfied by many f of order zero that implies all Fatou components are bounded. A special case of our result is that if log logM(r, f) = O(log r/(log log r)) for some K > 1, then th...

Physiol. 2 17(6) : 1644-1651. 1969.---Segments of canine carotid artery were held at in situ length and studied in vitro after treatment with norepinephrine (NEpi) and after treatment with potassium cyanide (KCN). Activation of the vascular muscle caused contraction a...

BIFURCATIONS, including shear band and diffuse geometric modes, arc analysed for plane strain deformation of a rectangular slab subject to a constant lateral confining stress. The response of the slab material is characterized by an incrementally linear constitutive relation that allows for the possibility of volume change accompanying shear deformation, pressure dependence and deviations from ...

Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement is a popular bone void filler for vertebroplasty. However, the use of PMMA has some drawbacks, including the material's excessive stiffness, exothermic polymerization, and short handling time. This study aimed to create an ideal modified bone cement to solve the above-mentioned problems. Modified bone cements were prepared by combining PMMA with three d...

The aim of this study was to characterize the influence of functionalization of synthetic poly-(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) nanofibers on mechanical properties such as maximum load, elongation, and Young's modulus. Furthermore, the impact of osteoblast growth on the various nanofiber scaffolds stability was determined. Nanofiber matrices composed of PLLA, PLLA-collagen, or BMP-2-incorporated PLLA wer...

Mechanical characterization of the cortex of rectrices (tail feathers) of the Toco Toucan (Ramphastos toco) has been carried out by tensile testing of the rachis cortex in order to systematically determine Young's modulus and maximum tensile strength gradients on the surfaces and along the length of the feather. Of over seventy-five samples tested, the average Young's modulus was found to be 2....

Multiple parameters are involved in the design of anisotropic conductive adhesive assemblies, and the overlapping influences that they have on the final electrical contact resistance represent a difficult challenge for the designers. The most important parameters include initial bonding force F, number of particles N, the adhesion strength GA, and modulus of elasticity E of the cured resin. It ...

[Purpose] Elastic therapeutic tape has been widely used for rehabilitation and treatment of sports injuries. Tapes with different elastic properties serve different treatment purposes with inappropriate tension reducing tape effectiveness. Many tapes are available in the market, but studies on tape properties are limited. The aim of this study was to examine the material properties of elastic t...

For the past decades researchers are showing immense interest to investigate the natural advantage of preparation of composites from minerals such as bauxite particles, and proved their effectiveness as cost effective reinforcing agents in fabrication of high performance composites. This study, is a new attempt in using the Iraqi natural bauxite powder with different proportions (2wt%, 4wt%, an...
