Transfer printing is a nanofabrication technique that involves an assembly process by which a printable layer can be transferred from a transfer substrate to a device substrate. Future application of transfer printing toward a roll-to-roll printing process of flexible devices hinges upon the understanding on the mechanisms governing transfer printing quality, which is far from mature. So far, t...

This study was conducted in metalwork and woodwork industries in Jeddah Industrial Estate. The purpose of this study was to assess the magnitude of industrial noise exposure and to propose remedial actions. Noise was measured at different times of a day in 28 randomly selected factories and workshops. Results indicated that noise levels varied according to the type and size of a factory, and th...

In enterprise software delivery, the pursuit of software quality takes place in the context of a fundamental paradox: balancing the flexibility that drives speed of delivery with the rigor required to verify that what is being delivered is complete, correct, and appropriate for its intended use. One common approach to address this concern is to create “software testing factories” with the aim o...

Background: Anecdotal information has suggested that sodium benzoate is used with more than permissible doses during production steps of food products especially pickles and pickled cucumbers in food producing factories in Markazi province and other food producing factories . The present study was done to evaluate factual concentration of sodium benzoate in these products. Methods: In this ...

This paper will describe the process of designing a desktop photo printing system: printer, ink and media. We will compare recent technology trends in photo printers with respect to customer expectations for imaging system performance. We examine the three fundamental component processes of image printing: preparing the image for printing, putting drops on paper, and ink/media interaction. We d...
