In order to adapt to the requirements of the development for precision agriculture technology, making the rice seed tape planting technology has been widely used. The paper-making improved the design on the rice seed tape twisting machine especially the seed tape winding units. It proposed seed tape winding automatic control system based on STC90C514AD to realize the rotating speed adjustment o...

[Purpose] To evaluate the short-term effects of kinesio tape on joint position sense, isokinetic measurements, kinesiophobia, symptoms, and functional limitations in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome. [Subjects and Methods] A total of 90 patients (112 knees) with patellofemoral pain syndrome were randomized into a kinesio tape group (n=45) or placebo kinesio tape group (n=45). Baseline...

OBJECTIVE To compare the pain relief effect of Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) and Expressed Breast Milk (EBM) on the pain associated with adhesive tape removal in very low birth weight (VLBW) neonates. DESIGN Randomized Controlled Trial. SETTING Neonatal intensive care unit of a tertiary care teaching hospital. PARTICIPANTS 15 VLBW neonates who needed adhesive tape removal for the first part ...

In this brief note, we give a simple information-theoretic proof that 2-state 3-color universal Turing machines don’t exist. Let us suppose that there exists a 2-state 3-color universal Turing machine U (without a halting state). Then it must be possible to program U to emulate any Turing machine T (without a halting state) by initializing the tape of U with a string of colors that specify both...

OBJECTIVE To assess the role of the introital ultrasound in the evaluation of patients with low urinary tract symptoms after sling placement. MATERIAL AND METHOD From 2000 till 2007, a total of 31 patients underwent sub-urethral tape placement for a stress urinary incontinence and developed thereafter a low urinary tract symptoms. The urological evaluation consisted of a detailed medical hist...

In the present paper we propose a generalization of the model developed in Afferrante, L.; Carbone, G.; Demelio, G.; Pugno, N. Tribol. Lett. 2013, 52, 439-447 to take into account the effect of the pre-tension in the tape. A detailed analysis of the peeling process shows the existence of two possible detachment regimes: one being stable and the other being unstable, depending on the initial con...

We propose a new method of ensuring the redundant storage of information on tertiary storage, especially tape storage. Conventional methods for redundant data storage on tape include mirroring (storing the data twice) and Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Tapes (RAIT). Mirroring incurs high storage costs, while RAIT is inflexible because special hardware is used and all tapes in a stripe must be ...

Traditionally, digital tape has been used by applications accessing the tape mostly sequentially. Applications having a random access pattern to the data are much better off storing the data on magnetic disks. Today we see new application areas, where the need for huge amounts of digital storage does not make it cost-effective to store all the data on magnetic disk. One example of such an appli...

Tape backup has traditionally been the mainstay of enterprise data protection when long-term data protection is required. As disk technologies have improved and economies of scale have driven down prices, disk adoption rates have surged and it would appear disk is poised to eclipse tape as the dominant backup platform and relegate tape to a minor archival and disaster recovery role. Numerous su...

In a PTFE tape phase-vanishing reaction (PV-PTFE), a delivery tube sealed with PTFE tape is inserted into a vessel which contains the substrate. The reagent diffuses across the PTFE tape barrier into the reaction vessel. PTFE co-polymer films have been found to exhibit selective permeability towards organic compounds, which was affected by the presence of solvents. In this study, we attempted t...
