We present high resolution optical spectroscopy of three candidate members of the Taurus-Auriga star forming region. Based on the spectral type, the strength, profile and width of the Hα line, the detected lithium at 6708 Å, the location of these objects in a H-R diagram and the comparison with similar objects belonging to young stellar associations, we determine that they are bona fide members...

Sheet-metal forming is one of the most important manufacturing processes in automotive industry. This study proposes a multiobjective optimisation scheme that controls both sheet-metal formability and springback. First, mechanical properties DP590 steel were characterised to obtain parameters limit diagram (FLD) DP590. Then, FLD, thinning rate, average springback selected as quality evaluation ...

In this study, Buckling Limit of Strain (B.L.S.) is introduced as one of the most important limiting factors in cold roll forming process. B.L.S. is calculated by the finite element procedure. Then for two particular processes with existing analysis and experimental results, B.L.S. has been determined and evaluated. LUSAS 12.3 is used for finite element analysis. The results show that when buck...

Bacterial detection plays an important role in protecting public health and safety, and thus, substantial research efforts have been directed at developing bacterial sensing methods that are sensitive, specific, inexpensive, and easy to use. We have recently reported a novel "mix-and-read" assay where a fluorogenic DNAzyme probe was used to detect model bacterium E. coli. In this work, we carri...

Aims. We study the spectral classification of emission-line galaxies as star-forming galaxies or Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs). From the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) high quality data, we define an improved classification to be used for high redshift galaxies Methods. We classify emission-line galaxies of the SDSS according to the latest standard recipe using [OIII]λ5007, [NII]λ6584, [SII]λ6...

In this paper we study the problem of determining the homology groups of a quotient of a topological space by an action of a group. The method is to represent the original topological space as a homotopy limit of a diagram, and then act with the group on that diagram. Once it is possible to understand what the action of the group on every space in the diagram is, and what it does to the morphis...

The phase diagram of the two-dimensional extended q−states Potts model is investigated in the q → 1 limit. This is equivalent to studying the phase diagram of a two-dimensional infinite interacting lattice animal. An exact solution on the Bethe lattice and a Migdal-Kadanoff renormalization group calculation predict a line of θ transitions from an extended to a compact phase in the lattice anima...
