Insitu soil tests in general have the advantage of allowing measurements under the field environmental conditions with minimum amount of soil disturbance due to sampling. A comparison of continuous dynamic probing with the SPT has been made for a study case of highly weathered limestone in Eastern Sudan. The correlation between the two test results is obtained in terms of penetration resistance...

Hardware interface integrity test of an electronic product and validation of a tester’s probing needles is an integral part of a test scenario. Integrity testing is based on a current voltage characteristic measurement, when a small voltage and ( or ) current stimuli are applied to the product pads including power supply circuitry pads, so that the product is not normally powered on. Needles va...

Nanoindentation became a versatile tool for testing local mechanical properties beyond hardness and modulus. By adapting standard nanoindentation test methods, simple protocols capable of probing thermally activated deformation processes can be accomplished. Abrupt strain-rate changes within one indentation allow determining the strain-rate dependency of hardness at various indentation depths. ...

conclusions cigarette smoking increased some periodontal indexes including pcr and cal, and reduced bop (p < 0.05). results there was not a significant difference in the prevalence of isolated microorganisms between the smokers and nonsmokers. however, the cigarette smoking group had adverse effect on other periodontal indices including pcr, cal, and bop. the mean pcr and cal were significantly...

Abstract The fundamental vacuum state of quantum fields, related to Minkowski space, produces divergent fluctuations that must be suppressed in order bring reality the description physical systems. As a consequence, negative expectation values classically positive-defined quantities can appear. This has been addressed literature as subvacuum phenomenon. Here it is investigated how scalar charge...

Tree structure probing is a significant basic part of target precision spraying. Orchard tree structure digital test system, which consists of three components, is designed by using the ultrasonic sensors. The conveying platform is for fixing and precisely moving the sensor which is used for probing the tree profile. The lower computer can process the test data and communicate with upper comput...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to evaluate the adjunctive effect of the local application of a hyaluronan gel to scaling and root planing in the treatment of chronic periodontitis. METHODS Twelve patients with chronic periodontitis were recruited to participate in a study with a split-mouth design and provided informed consent. Plaque formation and bleeding on probing were evalua...

Testing a distributed system is difficult. Good testing depends on both skill and understanding the system under test. We have developed a method to observe the system at the CORBA remote-procedure-call level and then use dynamic-query-based visualization to refine and improve the test cases. The method and accompanying tools have been tested and refined by using them as part of the software su...

purpose: to determine long-term outcomes of probing in adult patients with nasolacrimal duct (nld) obstruction. methods: patients older than 20 years admitted in labaffinejad hospital with complete nasolacrimal duct obstruction were studied. the selected patients underwent probing under local anesthesia and cases with successful nld probing enrolled the study. patients were examined during the ...

This paper presents the characterization of a PCI-express test fixture that was created to passively probe a x16 link on a PCB. This fixture plugs into the 48-pin, midbus footprint which has been adopted by as the industry standard for observing PCIexpress links on a PCB. This fixture is used to observe signals and pass them to a piece of test equipment (TDR, VNA, or oscilloscope). Engineers re...
