For a liquid droplet to slide down a solid planar surface, the surface usually has to be tilted above a critical angle of approximately 10°. By contrast, droplets of nearly any liquid "slip" on lubricant-infused textured surfaces - so termed slippery surfaces - when tilted by only a few degrees. The mechanism of how the lubricant alters the static and dynamic properties of the drop remains elus...

This paper presents a micro-coordinate measuring machine (micro-CMM) for large-scale dimensional measurement of a micro-slit on a precision die coater by using a shear-mode micro-probe. A glass micro sphere with a nominal diameter of 52.3 μm was attached on one end of a tapered glass capillary tube as a probe tip ball. The micro-slit width of a slot die coater with a nominal slit width of 85 μm...

However, as described in the following table, the band 2 700-2 900 MHz is allocated worldwide on a primary basis to radionavigation service, used for air surveillance radars (ASR), including radars providing air surveillance and air traffic control, as well as meteorological radars that are afforded equal status to the aeronautical radionavigation system (ARNS) for operation in this band under ...

The primary purpose of this Interaction Profile for carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, methylene chloride, nitrogen dioxide, and tetrachloroethylene is to evaluate data on the toxicology of the “whole” mixture and the joint toxic action of the chemicals in the mixture in order to recommend approaches for assessing the potential hazard of this mixture to public health. To this end, the profile evalu...

Traditionally, pathological analysis and diagnosis are performed by manually eyeballing glass-slide specimen under a microscope an expert. Whole slide image (WSI) is the digital produced from glass-slide. WSI enabled to be observed on computer-screen led computational pathology where computer-vision artificial intelligence utilized for automated diagnosis. With current advancement, entire can a...

The pumping of water from a sand box with a finer layer on the top was studied theoretically and experimentally. The sand box, saturated at its lower portion and initially in hydrostatic equilibrium, was pumped at constant rate. The results show that significant negative air pressure can be generated in the vadose zone during pumping. The negative air pressure increases quickly in the earlier s...

Introduction: Air pollution is now one of the greatest environmental hazards to human health in the world. The aim of this study determines the relationship between air quality and cases of myocardial infarction in Yazd. Methods: This Ecological study was performed in Yazd, Iran. In this study, all individuals who referred to emergency cases with myocardial infarction in Yazd in one year from ...

As reported in a recent Journal article, Braver et al. (1) studied head-on crashes of two passenger vehicles and estimated the risk of driver death for sled-certified air bags compared with first-generation air bags. In doing so, they extended our analysis (2) by identifying which vehicles were certified by sled tests (rather than using model year as a marker, as we did) and by including pickup...
