response surface methodology (rsm) is a statistical method useful in the modeling and analysis of problems in which the response variable receives the influence of several independent variables, in order to determine which are the conditions under which should operate these variables to optimize a corrugated box production process. the purpose of this research is to create response surface mode...

The affected pig should be restrained and the corrugated tube gently inserted into the lumen of the prolapsed rectum the halfway-point on the tube needs to be inserted as far as the anal sphincter. The rubber bands should be stretched over the prolapse and placed as near as possible to the perianal skin; they must be tight enough to stop the blood supply to the prolapse. Faeces may move down th...

We investigate the transport of suspended Brownian particles dc driven along corrugated narrow channels in a regime of finite damping. We demonstrate that inertial corrections cannot be neglected as long as the width of the channel bottlenecks is smaller than an appropriate particle diffusion length, which depends on both the temperature and the strength of the dc drive. Therefore, transport th...

A quantum Markovian activated atom-surface diffusion model with interacting adsorbates is proposed for the intermediate scattering function, which is shown to be complex-valued and factorizable into a classical-like and a quantum-mechanical factor. Applications to the diffusion of Na atoms on flat (weakly corrugated) and corrugated-Cu(001) surfaces at different coverages and surface temperature...

Hydrocarbon explosions are one of most hazardous events for workers on offshore platforms. To protect structures against explosion loads, corrugated blast walls are typically installed. However, the profiles of real explosion loads are quite different depending on the congestion and confinement of Topside structures. As the level of congestion and confinement increases, the explosion load incre...

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) and corrugated paperboard (CPB) are used in many industrial applications, such as containers, shock absorbers or simply as inserts. Both materials pose two different types of environmental problems. The first is the pollution and resource consumption that occur during the production of these materials; the second is the growing landfills that arise out of the excessiv...

The dynamic behaviour of a machine tool (MT) directly influences the machining performance. The adoption of lightweight structures may reduce the effects of undesired vibrations and increase the workpiece quality. This paper aims to present and compare a set of hybrid materials that may be excellent candidates to fabricate the MT moving parts. The selected materials have high dynamic characteri...

Abstract. In this paper we are giving a quantitative description of two different configurations for noncontact gears. We consider the solutions from a perturbative calculation for two semitransparent parallel plates and concentric cylinders both with corrugations on the inner surfaces. In the case of corrugated parallel plates we discuss results from firstand second-order perturbation calculat...
