Liquid Composite Moulding processes are considered as promising and effective to manufacture structure composite parts reinforced with synthetic natural fabrics. The main novelty of this work is the estimation capillary pressure (Pcap) for both fabrics at different fibre volume fractions (Vf) liquids. From previous works, Pcap was defined equivalence between Washburn’s equation Darcy’s law whil...

Industrial organizations are complex systems` where the interactions among the various functions such as Sales, Distribution, Manufacturing, Materials, Finance, Human Resources and Maintenance have to be man-aged towards a common purpose of delivering the customers satisfaction. However, since most of these or-ganizations have a `Functional Structure`, each function or department works towards ...

John Timmons is Editor of Wounds UK and Clinical Nurse Specialist, Department of Tissue Viability, Aberdeen Royal Infirmary Exudate management is a challenge for the healthcare team as well as for the patient and despite a number of products being available, many patients still feel that exudate management is a significant problem, particularly for cavity wounds. Alginate dressings have been av...

Measurements are shown indicating that the drying rate of nanochannels can be enhanced by up to 3 orders of magnitude relative to drying by vapor diffusion, and that the drying rate is independent of the relative humidity of the environment up to a relative humidity of more than 90%. Micromachined Pyrex glass nanochannels of 72 nm height and with sharp corners (corner angles 7 degrees) were use...

Writing with ink involves the supply of liquid from a pen onto a porous hydrophilic solid surface, paper. The resulting linewidth depends on the pen speed and the physicochemical properties of the ink and paper. Here we quantify the dynamics of this process using a combination of experiment and theory. Our experiments are carried out using a minimal pen, a long narrow tube that serves as a rese...
