In this paper, an interpersonal communication method based on tactile beats when devices are established physical contact will be proposed. Tactile beats are a well-known phenomenon that describes frequency modulation occurs when vibrating objects with similar but not same operating frequencies are physically connected. Vibrating signals at each configuration (no contact and contact with same/d...

Evidence from the Finnish Twin Registry (e.g., Rose et al., 1988) shows that adult monozygotic (MZ) twins are more similar, within pairs, in personality if the cotwins are presently cohabiting or in frequent contact than if they are seldom in contact. Results of a follow-up study led Kaprio et al. (1990) to conclude that "'changes in social contact between monozygotic cotwins precede (and causa...

Dynamic force microscopy (DFM) phase signals were studied using heterogeneous films of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The phase was measured as a function of distance and drive frequency over regions of the film with different dissipative properties. When driving below the free resonance frequency at moderate amplitudes, the tip—sample interaction jumps between non-contact and intermittent contact re...

background: cryptosporidium spp. is a coccidian parasite infected humans and animals. prevalence rate of cryptosporidium spp. infection associated with is some parameters such as sampling, age, season, country and contact to domestic animals. this study aimed to determine cryptosporidium spp. infection in humans and some animals in rural areas of shushtar district from khuzestan province, south...
