Two different cases regarding the zinc coating at the lap joint faying surface are selected for studying the influence of zinc vapor on the keyhole dynamics of the weld pool and the final welding quality. One case has the zinc coating fully removed at the faying surface; while the other case retains the zinc coating on the faying surface. It is found that removal of the zinc coating at the fayi...

in this study, as for the re-casting, surface alloying and re-solidification layer of this alloys at the work piece level machining with wire electro discharge machining (wedm), changes of surface micro hardness with changes of operational parameters has been studied. therefore, study shows using surface alloying phenomena with the diffusion of wire material into the machined surface and select...

A fluorescent particle settled at the extremity of an atomic force microscope tip is used as a scanning temperature sensor. Since fluorescence is an effect that depends on temperature, by collecting the amount on light emitted by the particle as a function of its position on a sample, we are able to map the heat distribution on its surface. To validate the technique, we have imaged the heating ...

CASE 1 u Sally G, age 46, has been experiencing paresthesias for the past 3 months. She says that when she is cycling, the air on her legs feels much cooler than normal, with a similar feeling in her hands. Whenever her hands or legs are in cool water, she says it feels as if she’s dipped them into an ice bucket. Summer heat makes her skin feel as if it's on fire, and she’s noticed increased sw...

We report a new two-channel fluorescence microscopy technique for surface-generated fluorescence. The realized fluorescence microscope allows high resolution imaging of aqueous samples. The core element of the instrument is a parabolic mirror objective that is used to collect the fluorescence at large surface angles above the critical angle of the waterglass interface. An aspheric lens, incorpo...

introduction: the modis facility for the earth observing system is a key element that supports ambitious goals related to studying the earth as a system. one of the modis products is high quality land surface temperature data that product in terra and aqua platforms. knowledge of the lst provides information on the temporal and spatial variations of the surface equilibrium state and is of funda...

The rapid accumulation of thermal infrared observations and shape models of asteroids has led to increased interest in thermophysical modeling. Most of these infrared observations are unresolved. We consider what fraction of an asteroid’s surface area contributes the bulk of the emitted thermal flux for two model asteroids of different shapes over a range of thermal parameters. The resulting ob...

Introduction: The great use of electrical appliances in different life applications is one of the most obvious concerns because of its possible health drawbacks. These investigation reports results of electromagnetic field effect emitted from mobile phones on some biophysical parameters of human blood belonging to blood groups A, B, AB & O collected from the normal persons. The parameters obser...
