The challenges of an aging population require the adoption of inhome and medical technologies to complement the traditional caregiver model. Adoption of such technologies is, however, impinged by privacy concerns. This study investigates a four dimensional framework that explains the tradeoffs between functionality and privacy as constructed by older adults. The four dimensions constitute perce...

this study sougth to the effect of occ pulp fractionation on produced paper strength properties improvement. using a pressure screen, occ pulp was devided to tow distinct fractions of accept ratio (short fibers) and reject ratio (long fibers) in accordance with optimum condition of fractionation based on the previous studies. in the next stage, long fiber stream was refined and recombined with ...

green olive cultivars “manzanila” and “mission” were harvested at the mature green stage. they were either treated with 1-methylcyclopropane (1-mcp) at a concentration of 1.8 µl/l for 24 h at 20°c or kept untreated as a control. both treated and untreated fruits were then immersed in water containing cacl2 of 0 (control), 50 and 100 mm for 2 h under 1.2 bar pressure. fruits were then surface dr...

Recently, the warm mixing modified ultrathin abrasive layer has been paid great attention due to green energy-saving strength. In regard its durability, study of fatigue behavior SMC asphalt mixture was carried out under strain controlling mode. The relationship among all characteristic parameters (bending stiffness modulus, normalized times, and products phase angle) stress cycle times showed ...
