Abstract This study aims to investigate the effect of heat load, tilt angle, and volume concentration alumina nanofluid on thermal performance enhancement cylindrical screen mesh wick pipe in terms resistance(R) conductivity(k). Response surface methodology based Box–Behnken design was implemented influence input (100–200 W), angle (0–90°), (0.05–0.25 vol%) as independent variables. Second-orde...

  Background: To determine the most important preoperative factors that affect postoperative coronal parameters of scoliotic curves.   Methods: All Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) patients included in the study were classified according to Lenke and King Classification. The fusion levels were selected according to the rigidity of the existing curves (correction less than 50%), tilt...

The influence of environment changing, e.g. background beam change, trees waggle, and rain or snow day brings More difficult for moving target detecting. A background dynamic generation algorithm is presented in the paper, and the background dynamic generation algorithm is used to dynamically construct background image, the impact of the environment change is reduced in a certain extent for the...

3D beamforming is a promising approach for interference coordination in cellular networks which brings significant improvements in comparison with conventional 2D beamforming techniques. This paper investigates the problem of joint beamforming design and tilt angle adaptation of the BS antenna array for maximizing energy efficiency (EE) in downlink of multi-cell multi-user coordinated cellular ...

[Purpose] This study investigated the effects of inclined treadmill walking on pelvic anterior tilt angle, hamstring muscle length, and back muscle endurance of seated workers with flat-back syndrome. [Subjects] Eight seated workers with flat-back syndrome who complained of low-back pain in the L3-5 region participated in this study. [Methods] The subjects performed a walking exercise on a 30° ...

Dependence of the critical current on the misorientation angle in high-temperature superconductor [001] tilt bicrystal is theoretically examined. We suppose that in the case of relatively small values of the bicrystal misorientation angle θ (θ ≤ 10÷15) the critical current is determined by depinning of vortices, which are locked by edge dislocations aligned along the bicrystal grain boundary. D...

The body tilt angle of a fish has a large effect on the acoustic target strength. For an accurate estimation of fish abundance using acoustic methods, it is necessary to measure body tilt angles in free-ranging fish. We measured diurnal body tilt angle distributions of threeline grunt (Parapristipoma trilineatum) while swimming in schools in a fish cage. Micro-acceleration data loggers were use...

PURPOSE This research was conducted to compare supine and standing Merchant views, to observe radiographic changes of the patellofemoral joint according to weight-bearing conditions, and to evaluate correlation factors affecting patellofemoral joint indices. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-four patients without skeletal problems were selected for this study. Patellar tilt angle, lateral patellofe...

Using frictional force microscopy (FFM), the friction surface characteristics were compared between twisted nematic (TN) mode and vertical alignment (VA) mode alignment films (AFs). The friction asymmetry was detected depending on temperature conditions on TN mode AF, but not on VA mode AF. The difference between two modes was explained by leaning intermolecular repulsion caused by the pre-tilt...
