Babbitt is a white silvery alloy that composed of Tin, Lead, Copper and Antimony. This alloy is the most current bearing alloy in industrial applications. The characteristics of this alloy, such as high wearing resistance and low coefficient of friction, have converted it into a bearing cover. The target of this study is investigation on the effects of alloy elements on wearing and micro-struct...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether shoe-wearing affords foot protection among school children living in southern Ethiopia. METHODS Data collectors conducted a standardized foot assessment with children in an elementary school in southern Ethiopia (N=168). RESULTS 54% reported wearing shoes consistently in the prior three days. Children wearing closed-toed shoes showed less adherent soil and toe ...

This paper discusses the proper treatment of multiple indexing fields, representations, or streams, in document retrieval. Previous experiments by Robertson and his colleagues have shown that, with a widely used type of term weighting and fields that share keys, document scores should be computed using term frequencies over fields rather than by combining field scores. Here I examine a wide ran...

with the eight sassanians reliefs, naghsh-e rustam in marvdasht is a prominent complex safeguarding a complete collection of the sassanian period. seven of these reliefs have been repeatedly the subject of investigations thanks to their relatively better conditions. the fifth relief, however, has not yet been studied due to their damaged status. it depicts the full-face portrait of a sassanid k...

the complexation reactions between tl+ and pb2+ ions and crown ethers 12-crown-4(12c4), 15-crown-5 (15c5), benzo-15-crown-5 (b15c5), 18-crown-6 (18c6), dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 (dc18c6) and aza-18-crown-6 (a18c6) were studied in 90% acetonitrile and 90% ethanol solutions at 25 °c, using an a.c. polarographic technique. the stoichiometry and stability of the complexes were determined by monitorin...
