Vibrotactile texture stimuli have commonly been used to produce sensations of roughness. The extension of such stimuli to other textural modalities enhances their applicability. We found that laterally asymmetric vibrotactile stimuli cause a sensation of friction rather than vibration. When a vibrotactile contactor moves in one direction, it sticks to the finger pad and induces lateral skin str...

efforts to increase the mass transfer coefficient, enhance the contact area, and decrease the power input of contractors have given risen to the development of the pre-dispersed solvent extraction (pdse) contactor and the devise of the new dissolved nitrogen pdse (dnpdse) contactors. the studies conducted after the design of the new contactor to determine the working conditions for its suitable...

BACKGROUND The traditional cyclone has been developed for the removal of airborne silica particles from local exhaust ventilation (LEV). The objective of this research was to evaluate the effects of velocity and particles load on efficiency of cyclone in the Stone Crushing Units at Azendarian Area. METHODS After the designing and installing the traditional cyclone, downstream and upstream sam...

UNLABELLED Cyclone aims at facilitating the use of BioCyc, a collection of Pathway/Genome Databases (PGDBs). Cyclone provides a fully extensible Java Object API to analyze and visualize these data. Cyclone can read and write PGDBs, and can write its own data in the CycloneML format. This format is automatically generated from the BioCyc ontology by Cyclone itself, ensuring continued compatibili...

A new theoretical method for computing travel distance, number of turns, and cyclone pressure drop has been developed and is presented in this article. The flow pattern and cyclone dimensions determine the travel distance in a cyclone. The effective number of turns was calculated based on the travel distance. Cyclone pressure drop is composed of five pressure loss components. The frictional pre...

To assess the impact on health of the cyclone and tidal wave that struck the southern coast of Bangladesh on the evening of 29 April 1991, a team of health professionals visited cyclone affected areas from 4-27 June, 1991. Team members met with health workers and officials of the Government of Bangladesh and with staff pom nongovernmental organizations, and conducted field surveys in two severe...

Due to its non-dispersive contact, definite interface and high specific volume, a membrane contactor offers many advantages over conventional contactors. In recent years it has been established as a potential replacement for packed absorber columns in the field of CO2 capture. There are many different configurations in which a membrane contactor can operate, while tubular membrane with liquid i...
