This article is focused on the impact of different binder mixtures on the performances of paper surface and printability. The coating properties were studied with the chosen silica pigment, and the binder consisted of vinyl acetate copolymer and polyvinyl alcohol with different ratios, followed by the measurement of smoothness, whiteness, and surface strength. The inkjet image quality was asses...

Full linear-time hybrid logic (HL) is a non-elementary and equally expressive extension of standard LTL + past obtained by adding the well-known binder operators ↓ and ∃. We investigate complexity and succinctness issues for HL in terms of the number of variables and nesting depth of binder modalities. First, we present direct automata-theoretic decision procedures for satisfiability and model-...

In order to minimize the binder content in composite lunar “cement,” this paper uses JSC-1A lunar soil simulant and unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) to produce low-binder-content composite. Important system parameters such as compression pressure, compression duration, vibration, loading rate, loading number, and initial grain size distribution are analyzed. The most critical control variable ...

The binder force in sheet metal forming controls the material flow into the die cavity. Maintaining precise material flow characteristics is crucial for producing a high-quality stamped part. Process control can be used to adjust the binder force based on tracking of a reference punch force trajectory to improve part quality and consistency. The purpose of this paper is to present a systematic ...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2016217585 DESCRIPTION A 70-year-old man presented to accident and emergency (A&E) department with spontaneous rupture of his incisional hernia, which occurred at rest. He previously had an emergency open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Postoperatively he developed a...

INTRODUCTION Exsanguination following trauma is potentially preventable. Extremity tourniquets have been successfully implemented in military and civilian prehospital care. Prehospital control of bleeding from the torso and junctional area's remains challenging but offers a great potential to improve survival rates. This review aims to provide an overview of potential treatment options in both ...

The properties of a new synthetic LDL binding material, consisting of fragments of loosely crosslinked hydrogel, based on sulfated polyvinylalcohol are described. When incubated with 20 times its volume of plasma, this material binds up to 95% of the LDL, even from plasma with severely elevated LDL cholesterol levels (up to 20 mM). In addition a cholesterol-rich subfraction of VLDL is bound but...

abdominal mass is one of the commonest clinical findings in children. the purpose of this study was to evaluate abdominal masses in different age groups in a referral children surgical center. we retrospectively reviewed records of 325 patients (57% boys, mean age 37.7 months) admitted to amir kabir hospital in period of 12 years for abdominal mass surgery. the 4 most common abdominal masses wa...

On diethylaminoethyl-cellulose column chromatography, the folate binding protein in the serum of 21 patients eluted in the early effluents as a single sharply defined peak. The chromatographic behavior of the folate binder remained unchanged whether or not the serum was, before chromatography, complexed with tritium-labeled pteroylglutamic acid ([3H]PGA), dialyzed, or charcoal-adsorbed. Heating...

The effect of replacing hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) by octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7tetrazocine (HMX) in HTPB-binder on the performance, sensitivity, thermal, and mechanical properties of the sheet explosive formulation has been studied. The maximum loading of HMX was achieved up to 78 per cent in HTPB-binder system. The velocity of detonation (VOD) of HMX-based sheet e...
