Needle-punched geosynthetic clay liner (NPGCL) has been widely used in landfills. The internal strength of the GCL changes with temperature variation, which affects its application A large-scale temperature-controlled direct shear apparatus was developed to study characteristics affected by temperature. dependent on bentonite, fibers, and interaction between fibers bentonite. influence mainly r...

SYMPOSIUM PROCEEDINGS 1970 The aids to easy and accurate punching are twofold. For as many programmes as practicable, proformas are prepared whcre card columns arc idcntified and the entries to be made in each group of columns corresponding to the value of a variable are clearly defined. Fig. 3 gives a typical proforma used for the closed circuit respiration chamber programme, CCRC3. Note that ...

A new approach to the separation of multiple stacked cards is presented. Separation of multiple stacked cards is a key operation in many mechatronic devices such as copy machines and cash dispensers. Separation must be performed in small operation area despite of water and oil on the cards. In this article, we will develop a new system to separate multiple stacked cards using an array of absorp...

Usability of New Electronic Voting Systems and Traditional Methods: Comparisons Between Sequential and Direct Access Electronic Voting Interfaces, Paper Ballots, Punch Cards, and Lever Machines

Malum perforans pedis (MPP) is a chronic trophic ulceration of the sole, resulting from chronic denervating diseases accompanied with constant trauma at the pressure bearing areas. Rarely, MPP is caused by spinal cord injury complicated by chronic osteomyelitis. A 40-year-old woman presented with a deep punched out ulceration on the left heel with an eighteen-year history of recurrent serosangu...
