Value Stream Mapping technique involves flowcharting the steps, activities, material flows, communications, and other process elements that are involved with a process or transformation. In this respect, Value stream mapping helps an organization to identify the non-value-adding elements in a targeted process and brings a product or a group of products that use the same resources through the ma...

Magnetic force microscope ( MFM ) is a powerful technique for mapping the magnetic force gradient above the sample surface. Herein, single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) were used to fabricate MFM probe by dielectrophoresis method which is a reproducible and cost-effective technique. The effect of induced voltage on the deposition manner of carbon nanotubes (CNT) on the atomic force microscope (...

BACKGROUND Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation provides curative treatment for idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (VT). METHODS AND RESULTS Nineteen consecutive patients with an idiopathic VT underwent RF catheter ablation. An integrated 3-phase mapping approach was used, consisting of the successive application of online 62-lead body surface QRS integral mapping, directed regional paced bo...

Objectives Impression accuracy is the main determinant of the fit, form and function of prosthetic restorations. Polyvinyl siloxane (PVS) is the material of choice in most clinical situations. The purpose of this paper is to provide an up-to-date review of scientific articles which discuss the dimensional accuracy of PVS impression material using various impression techniques, tray types and sp...

To minimize the execution time of a parallel application running on a heterogeneous computing distributed system, an appropriate mapping scheme to allocate the application tasks to the processors is needed. The general problem of mapping tasks to machines is a well known NP-hard problem and several heuristics have been proposed to approximate its optimal solution. In this paper we propose a sta...

using the riemann-liouville fractional differintegral operator, the lie theory is reformulated. the fractional poisson bracket over the fractional phase space as 3n state vector is defined to be the fractional lie derivative. its properties are outlined and proved. a theorem for the canonicity of the transformation using the exponential operator is proved. the conservation of its generator is p...

although story mapping strategy has been shown to be beneficial in many reading comprehension classes, the benefits of this technique have not been thoroughly investigated in l2 writing research. the small number of previous studies (e.g., li, 2007; brunner, 2010) have found the potential benefits of using story mapping strategy on students’ writing performance, but they did not focus on differ...

Plastic deformation mechanisms have been investigated in the MAX phase Ti2AlN. Nanoindentation has used to induce plastic a single grain, and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) lamella extracted cross section through indent by using Focused Ion Beam (FIB) technique. By combining TEM observations automated crystal orientation mapping (ACOM), highly misoriented domains (HMD) revealed below na...
