Extended Abstract—This paper presents the realization of a prototype of a conversational workflow for a Chatbot in tires domain. The initial purpose has focused on the design of the specific model to manage communication and propose the most suitable tires for users. For this aim, it has been used the Petri Net. Finally, after the implementation of the designed model, experimental campaign was ...

Heterogeneous materials can show size-dependent behaviour in which the bending modulus depends on sample size. In fibre composite interaction between and matrix lead to such a size effect.Then effective calculated by rule of mixtures either underestimate or overestimate laminate, depending fibre/matrix material mismatch, microstructural morphology (fibre distribution) laminate thickness. this w...

The microcracking process in laminates which have outer-ply 90◦ plies (e.g. [90m/0n]s) has some important differences from the microcracking process in laminates which lack outer-ply 90◦ plies (e.g. [0n/90m]s). Foremost among the differences is the characteristic damage state. [90m/0n]s laminates form antisymmetric or staggered microcracks while [0n/90m]s laminates form symmetric microcracks. T...

Mass ply panel (MPP) is a new mass timber product that was recently introduced for structural applications in buildings. Although there have been several studies on characterizing the mechanical properties and performance of MPP, lack understanding regarding in-plane shear panels. More intensive should be done MPP to provide comprehensive its behavior. This paper presents an experimental study ...

Abstract Resin flow through multi-ply woven fabrics is affected by the fibre orientation and laminate stacking sequence during impregnation process. This characterised permeability, which measures ability of transferring fluids within a 2D or 3D layered architecture (i.e., porous medium). The work aims to investigate feasibility characterising macro-scale permeability via micro-meso-scale (dual...

In August, 1985 an infestation of. Aedes olbopictus (Skuse) was discovered in Harris County, Texas. It was the first breeding population reported in the continental USA (Sprenger and Wuithiranyagool 1986). Since 1985, Ae. albopictus has spread to 17 eastern states (Centers for Disease Control 1987) and eggs have the ability to diapause and overwinter in northern latitudes (G. B. Craig, personal...

The program analyses carefully the initial situation. It creates some plans and tries to execute them. It analyses the situations deeper in the tree only if the plan fails. In that case it generates new plans correcting what is wrong in the old one. So, the program considers only natural branches of the tree. It can find combinations for which it is necessary to look more than twenty ply ahead....

We evaluated two novel, portable microscopes and locally acquired, single-ply, paper towels as filter paper for the diagnosis of Schistosoma haematobium infection. The mobile phone-mounted Foldscope and reversed-lens CellScope had sensitivities of 55.9% and 67.6%, and specificities of 93.3% and 100.0%, respectively, compared with conventional light microscopy for diagnosing S. haematobium infec...
