The application of material handling robots (MHRs) has been commonly observed in flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) for efficient material handling activities.In order to gain maximum throughput, minimum tardiness from the minimum investment of funds for the material handling activities, it is important to determine the optimum numbers of MHRs Di
High-gradient accelerating structures should operate reliably for a long time.Therefore studies of various processes which may lead to disruption of such an operation are so important.In the present paper, the dissipation of rf electromagnetic energy in metallic microparticles is analyzed accounting for the temperature dependence of the Collections
Influenza Stethoscopes A viruses are often present in environmental and clinical samples at concentrations below the limit of detection (LOD) of molecular diagnostics.Here we report an integrated microfluidic preconcentration and nucleic amplification system (μFPNAS) which enables both preconcentration of influenza A virus H1N1 (H1N1) and ampl
Infrastructure has historically been absent in informal settlements in Oceania.Oceanic governments have deliberately withheld infrastructure to these settlements denying them essential General Purpose saddle resources, human rights, and ways of life.Current reforms in urban policy seek to rectify this record by promising more inclusive infrastructu
In this paper, flow-induced vibrations of bluff bodies with four different cross-sectional geometries (circle, square, triangle and semi-circle) arranged both in single and tandem (gap ratio equals to 3 and 5) configurations are investigated in a wind tunnel.It is found that triangular and square cylinders have the higher amplitude Stethoscopes tha
