Due to the stratified nature of manufacturing process, material extrusion (ME) parts have lower mechanical properties than those fabricated by traditional technology. This is one most significant defects hindering development and application this rapid prototyping technique. In paper, vibration was applied ME process using piezoelectric ceramics for first time improve built parts. The vibrating...

Accurate detection performance of spectrum sensing will obviously affect the communication quality of licensed users and secondly users. Robust spectrum sensing algorithm can reduce interfere to primary users. This paper presents a new OFDM cyclic spectrum sensing scheme which based on overlay parts sub-carriers to original OFDM signals. In this paper, the parts sub-carriers come from original ...

Using a simple and precise instrument system, we directly measured the thermo-physical properties of one-dimensional highly aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs). A kind of CNT-based macroscopic materials named super aligned carbon nanotube (SACNT) buckypapers was measured in our experiment. We defined a new one-dimensional parameter, the "thermal transfer speed" to characterize the thermal damping m...

CCA is an attractive account of harm. It has many virtues and many advantages over its competitors. But I won’t explore those features here. Ben Bradley gives a nice summary of them, though he ultimately rejects CCA (2012: 396–7, 401). In this paper, I’ll reply to two objections to CCA that haven’t been adequately addressed in the literature. Some critics think that certain omission and preempt...

It will now be widely known that contamination with a higher oxide of nitrogen occurred in a batch of nitrous oxide cylinders which were filled by the British Oxygen Company near the beginning of September 1966. When one considers the vast numbers of cylinders of nitrous oxide diat have been used during the last 40 years, contamination is obviously extremely rare; but, despite the care taken by...

Daidzein, a plant extract, has antioxidant activity. It is hypothesized, in this study, that daidzein exhibits neuroprotective effects on cerebral ischemia. Rat models of middle cerebral artery occlusion were intraperitoneally administered daidzein. Biochemical and immunohistochemical tests showed that superoxide dismutase and nuclear respiratory factor 1 expression levels in the brain tissue d...

The microbial electrochemical cell (MEC) is a promising waste treatment technology to accomplish simultaneous alternative energy production and degradation of organic matters. Potato pulp waste (PPW) from a potato processing plant contains a large amount of carbohydrates that need be degradated before discharge into the environment. Here, we describe electricity generation in singlechamber micr...

In this paper a new unsupervised segmentation algorithm based on Fuzzy Gibbs Random Field (FGRF) is proposed. This algorithm, named as FGS, can deal with fuzziness and randomness simultaneously. A Classical Gibbs Random Field (CGRF) servers as bridge between prior FGRF and original image. The FGRF is equivalent to CGRF when no fuzziness is considered; therefore, the FGRF is obviously a generali...

Droplet formation in the presence of nanoparticles was studied in a T-shaped microfluidic device numerically. Nanoparticles in continuous phase did not influence droplet formation dynamics obviously. Contrarily, the presence of nanoparticles in dispersed phase will influence evidently droplet formation dynamics, likely reasons are the accumulation of nanoparticles at the liquid-liquid interface...

Let X,Y be normed spaces. The set of bounded linear operators is noted as L(X,Y ). Let now D = D(A) ⊂ X be a linear subspace, and A : D −→ Y a linear (not necessarily bounded!) operator. Notation: (A,D(A)) : X −→ Y Definition: G(A) := {(x,Ax) |x ∈ D} is called the graph of A. Obviously, G(A) is a linear subspace of X × Y . The linear operator A is called closed if G(A) is closed in X × Y . The ...
