This paper deals with the contribution of road surface microtexture to the relationship between tire/road friction and water depth. The main objectives are the estimation of local water depths trapped at the tire/road interface and the definition of a critical water depth which can be used for driver assistance and information systems. Tests are performed in laboratory. Specimens are slabs made...

During the records with times 07:48, 07:51, 07:55, and 07:58, things appear normal as the sectors change in the 6, 7, 8, and 8 pattern. Notice that during the sector 8 records there are CH03 and CH05 alpha source PHA data points and rate counts in the ~600 700 counts/record and ~100 200 counts/record ranges, respectively. In the 08:01 record, however, which is stated to be sector 7, the record ...

To advance knowledge in the study of spirituality and physical health, we examined sociodemographic, behavioral, and attitudinal correlates of self-perceptions of spirituality. Participants were a nationally representative sample of 1,422 adult respondents to the 1998 General Social Survey. They were asked, among other things, to rate themselves on the depth of their spirituality and the depth ...

Digesta and tissue samples were collected from the intestinal tracts of 27 pigs to determine the relationship between intestinal morphology and the utilization of nutrients from soybean flakes. Soybean flake treatments were under-, intermediate- and over-processed (i.e., 5, 20 and 60 min of autoclaving) either without extraction or with heating before or after extraction with a 55% ethanol-wate...

Site U1325 (Prospectus Site CAS-02C) is located near the southwestern end of the marginperpendicular transect established during Expedition 311 and is within a major slope basin that developed eastward of the deformation front behind a steep ridge of accreted sediments. Bathymetry data show that the seafloor in the western part of this slope basin is relatively flat with water depths around 220...
