BACKGROUND Accelerometers are motion-sensing devices that have been used to assess physical activity in dogs. However, the lack of a user-friendly, inexpensive accelerometer has hindered the widespread use of this objective outcome measure in veterinary research. Recently, a smartphone-based, affordable activity monitor (Whistle) has become available for measurement of at-home physical activity...

This text describes a series of experiments performed with a machine capable of synthesizing human whistles and canary song. We call this device The Universal Whistling Machine (U.W.M). It senses the presence of living creatures in its vicinity and attracts them with a signature whistle. Given a response whistle, U.W.M. counters with its own composition, based on a time-frequency analysis of th...

in many processes polymeric foams can be produced by using chemical or physical blowing agents. in this work for polyethylene foam production, the chemical blowing agents and compression moulding process were employed. at first, by using dsc diagram of two polyethylene grades, a suitable polyethylene grade was selected for foam production and then we discuss about blowing agent critical percent...
