In the present work the plastic deformation of a thin rectangular polycarbonate armor plate subjected to single and multiple impacts was investigated in detail. The impacts were conducted on a horizontal and diagonal path to explore the plate vulnerability against the in-coming single and multiple projectiles striking at various locations. Single i

This paper describes the effect of inclined track in an indoor rowing machine on the rowing exercise for paraplegics. The indoor rowing exercise is introduced as a total body exercise for rehabilitation of function of lower extremities through the application of functional electrical stimulation (FES). A model of the machine is developed using the

The issues on unconscionability and inequality of bargaining power are common legal dictums, which are constantly and continuously discussed in consumer contracts. However, the predicaments caused by unconscionability and inequality of bargaining power in commercial contracts are often left side ways despite the alarm, which had been set on by the

Electromyography gives an electrical representation of neuromuscular activation associated with a contracting muscle. The electromyography signal acquires noise while travelling though different media. The wavelet transform is employed for removing noise from surface electromyography (SEMG) and higher order statistics are applied for analysing the

Preference query has received high interest due to its great benefits over various types of database applications. This type of query provides more flexible query operator s that retrieve data items which are not dominated by the other data items in all attributes (dimensions). Many preference techniques for preference queries have been introduced

Silica free binder was developed from cassava starch to correspond common ceramic mould binder for reactive metal casting application. Ceramic slurry rheology behavior and stability depends on both binder and refractory materials properties. Starch processing started from granule expansion or swelling, gelatinization, depolymerization via prolong h

Design and Development Research (DDR) focuses on designing and exploring the whole range of designed innovations: products, artefacts and models as well as less concrete aspects such as programmes, activity and curricula. Many researchers have designed, developed, and evaluated products in the field of instructional technology. Yet there is a scarc

The sfr3 mutation causes freezing sensitivity in Arabidopsis thaliana.Mapping, sequencing, and trangenic complementation showed sfr3 to be a missense in ACC1, an essential gene encoding homomeric (multifunctional) acetyl-CoA carboxylase. Cuticle permeability was compromised in the sfr3 mutant when plants were grown in the cold but not in the warm.W

This study attempts to look into and analyze through Error Analysis the occurrences of linguistic errors among Malay students of Arabic in the use of the verbal system of Arabic. The Introduction highlights some issues and concepts pertinent to second/foreign language learning acquisition, as well as their implications to teaching. This study analy

Methods: In this study, proteomics methods have been used to study the effects of different currents and voltages used to stun chickens. Protein profiles of chicken hearts were constructed to detect differences in protein expression and modification. The different voltages studied were 10 V, 40 V and 70 V, while the currents examined were 0.25 A, 0
