this study was aimed to investigate the bending moment and stress (inner and outer corners) in lshaped biscuit joint made of solid wood, particleboard and medium density fiberboard (mdf). for this purpose, l-shaped joints made of beech and fir, particleboard and mdf by biscuit size numbers of 0 (47×15×3.8 mm), 10 (53×19×3.8mm) and 20 (60×23×3.8mm). bending moment and stress carrying capacity of...

As lecturers in pathology it is our task to impart a smattering of pathological knowledge to the modern Bristol medical student. In doing so we are forced to utilise the age old descriptive terms of surgical pathology passed down to us from time when Virchow was an SHO! Far from making our task easy, we are often asked to explain in terms more appropriate to the twentieth century what these arc...

THE TITLE SYDNONE DERIVATIVE [SYSTEMATIC NAME: 2-bromo-1-(5-oxido-3-phenyl-1,2,3-oxadiazo-lium-4-yl)-3-phenyl-prop-2-en-1-one], C(17)H(11)BrN(2)O(3), exists in a Z configuration with respect to the acyclic C=C bond. An intra-molecular C-H⋯Br hydrogen bond generates a six-membered ring, producing an S(6) ring motif. The 1,2,3-oxadiazole ring in the sydnone unit is essentially planar [maximum dev...

The generation of mice lacking SCYL1 or SCYL2 and the identification of Scyl1 as the causative gene in the motor neuron disease mouse model muscle deficient (Scyl1(mdf/mdf) ) demonstrated the importance of the SCY1-like family of protein pseudokinases in neuronal function and survival. Several essential cellular processes such as intracellular trafficking and nuclear tRNA export are thought to ...

This paper is about an efficient implementation of adaptive filtering for echo cancelers. The first objective of this paper is to propose a simplified method of the flexible block Multi-Delay Filter (MDF) algorithm in the time-domain. Then, we will derive a new method for the stepsize adaptation coefficient. The second objective is about the realization of a Block Proportionate Normalized Least...

Fanconi anemia (FA) is known as an inherited bone marrow failure syndrome associated with cancer predisposition and susceptibility to a number of DNA damaging stimuli, along with a number of clinical features such as upper limb malformations, increased diabetes incidence and typical anomalies in skin pigmentation. The proteins encoded by FA-defective genes (FANC proteins) display well-establish...

Quantitative structure-activity relationship (qSAR) models are used to understand how the structure and activity of chemical compounds relate. In the present study, 37 carboquinone derivatives were evaluated and two different qSAR models were developed using members of the Molecular Descriptors Family (MDF) and the Molecular Descriptors Family on Vertices (MDFV). The usual parameters of regress...

We present a novel single image deblurring method to estimate spatially non-uniform blur that results from camera shake. We use existing spatially invariant deconvolution methods in a local and robust way to compute initial estimates of the latent image. The camera motion is represented as a Motion Density Function (MDF) which records the fraction of time spent in each discretized portion of th...

The recent World Health Organisation re-classification of formaldehyde’s carcinogenic status is reviewed and discussed together with the carcinogenesis mechanism. Information on health effects associated with exposure levels is presented and placed in the context of sampled concentrations in different types of buildings. The treatment of human health within LCA is described with the example of ...
