Data are presented on dental and general health for seven groups of wild ring-tailed lemurs, Lemur catta, from the Beza Mahafaly Reserve, in southern Madagascar. As part of a study of population demography, adults were captured, collared, and tagged, and biometric measurements, dental casts, and analyses of dental and general health were made. Results indicate that patterns of dental health var...

Abstract: Horizontal continuous casting is widely used to produce semi-finished and finished metallic products. Homogeneity in metallurgical characteristics and mechanical properties in such products is of importance. In the present work microstructure and mechanical properties of a horizontal continuous cast pipe have been studied. Microstructural features were investigated by an optical mi...

The stability of the interface between mortar and rock is very important in engineering construction. In this paper, all-digital acoustic emission (AE) system used to detect direct shear test mortar-rock binary medium with different sawtooth angles under normal stress states. stress-displacement information AE signal during whole shearing process are extracted. coupling relationship characteris...

This paper presents and evaluates a new method for producing Slurry Infiltrated Fiber Concrete (SIFCON). A study was carried out to investigate the impact on mechanical properties of SIFCON, where several cubes, cylinders, prisms were cast compare proposed gradual traditional multi-layer using same mixing proportions: 6% straight steel fiber, cement, sand, 10% silica fume replacement, 2.4% supe...

owing to elastic and viscous characteristics embedded rubber compounds, the dissipated energy from periodic deformation is converted into heat generation and consequently, the tire may have different body temperatures for different operating conditions. in most performed investigations, just temperature distribution is considered and the mechanical behaviour of rubber parts which are highly tem...
