In this research the relationship between graphitization ability and the carbon equivalent (CE %) of a cast iron have been investigated. The first series of moulds were cast at CE of 3.2% and pouring temperature of 1350°C. The other moulds were cast at different CE% with varying Si content. The graphitization ability( c ) was calculated using the thermodynamics aspects of graphitization and CE%...

One of the drastically growing industries is pervasive computing where it integrates human, smart devices, cloud and internet. Number of devices and number of people using services in pervasive computing is increasing day-by-day. Due to dynamic changes in scalability it is very difficult to select and provide an accurate service to the user request. In this paper, Cross-Indexing and Cross-Verif...

In this paper we present an algorithm for narrowing the constraint y = e x. The algorithm has been designed to be fast by using only IEEE multiplication. The main diiculty is to design algorithms which soundly, rapidly, and precisely compute upper and lower bounds on e x and ln(y). We prove that our algorithms are correct and produce upper and lower bounds which diier by at most 2 ULP. Experime...

With a mean follow-up of four years, we assessed the outcomes of 11 refractures which occurred following paediatric femoral fractures treated by external fixation; the refractures were treated conservatively with simple immobilisation in a spica cast. A total number of 104 children with a femoral fracture were treated with external fixation between 1993 and 2000 in our institution. Refracture o...

P osttreatment tooth movement is inevitable, but its degree depends on a variety of factors that are both iatrogenic and innate to each patient. Although various retention techniques have been developed to minimize posttreatment movement, it is unrealistic to believe that the entire dentition can be retained in all dimensions. Relapse is usually considered an adverse phenomenon, but some dimens...

PATIENT Male, 13 FINAL DIAGNOSIS: Isolated capitate bone fracture Symptoms: - MEDICATION - Clinical Procedure: - Specialty: - OBJECTIVE Unusual clinical course. BACKGROUND Carpal fractures often appear in men under the age of 40 years. Isolated fracture of the capitate without dislocation is very rare and comprises 1% of all carpal fractures. Nonunion of capitate mostly resulted from dela...

To the Editor, The Indian Medical Gazette StR,?I have read with considerable interest your leading article on epidemic dropsy in the October issue of the Gazette. I wish to draw your attention to one or two points in connection with your reference to our work on the subject. While offering criticism on the deductions made by us from our experiments you make no mention of the fact that albumin w...

association of genetic polymorphism in the calpastatin (cast) gene with average daily gain was examined in iranian purebred kurdi sheep. the genotypes for cast were determined by the pcr-sscp method. blood samples were collected from 84 purebred kurdi sheep belonging to the kurdi breeding station located in the khorasan province, north-east of iran. extraction of genomic dna was based on the gu...

Semisolid processing is one of the modern routes in sound and near net shape parts production.  Preparation of semisolid slurry using a cooling slope is increasingly becoming popular, primarily because of its simplicity in design and ease of control of the process. In this research, the microstructures of Al6061 semisolid alloy cast via a miniature cooling slope were investigated. The propertie...

We consider the broadcasting problem for one-dimensional grid graphs with a given neighborhood template. There are two different models that have been considered-shouting (a node informs all of its neighbors in one step) and whispering (a node informs a single neighbor in one step). Let a(t) (respectively a(t)) denote the maximum number of nodes that can be reached in t steps by shouting (respe...
