in this research, the effect of temperature on the physical and chemical behavior of nylon 66 tire cords in the range of 50-200°c and 16 h testing was studied. the results showed that heat treatment considerably reduced the breaking strength of cords. the intensity of reduction of breaking strength below 100°c and above 120°c was more pronounced than intermediate temperatures. the changes in pr...

We describe ERIT, a collection of C routines for eeciently and reliably handling intersection queries between pairs of primitive objects in 3D. ERIT supports intersection queries between the following pairs of primitives: triangle/line-segment, triangle/triangle, sphere/line-segment, sphere/triangle, cylinder/line-segment, cylinder/triangle, cylinder/sphere, cone/line-segment, cone/triangle, to...

We study the ow of a uid occupying an innnite horizontal domain bounded by a rugose plate which is at rest and by a plane plate which moves with a constant velocity. The rugose plate is covered with periodically distibuted asperities of size ". We prove that, outside a neighbourhood of the rugose region, the ow behaves asymptotically as a Couette ow, as " ! 0, up to an exponentially small error...

BACKGROUND Neck dissection for laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) patients could provide complementary prognostic information for AJCC N staging, like lymph node ratio (LNR). The aim of this study was to develop effective nomograms to better predict survival for LSCC patients treated with neck dissection. RESULTS 2752 patients were identified and randomly divided into training (n = 2477...

In this study, we propose a novel data-driven approach for control of two degrees freedom systems. The proposed method uses one-shot experimental data to derive the reference governor improving performance. consists feedback-feedforward controller, desired transfer function, and virtual feedforward controller. Virtual controller can be obtained using such as ERIT, FRIT, VRFT. Since model is not...
