The object of this study was to assess potential dermal exposure to the non-volatile fractions of paints based on studies assessing potential exposure during the painting process in car body repair shops with water-based paints. The measurements were done during filling of the spray gun, paint spraying and cleaning of the gun. Potential dermal exposure was assessed using patches and gloves as d...

The increasing awareness of evposure to traditional paint strippers has prompted a search for altemativeproducts. Onegroup of such alternatives are formulations based on N-Methylpyrolidone (NMPkqn comparing NMP-based paint removers with more volatile products, the primary tradeoffs are stripping speed versus solvent inhalation, and product cost v e m wage cost. NMP-based paint removers work at ...

We have implemented a non-photorealistic rendering system which simulates the placement of paint/pencil/pastel strokes to produce representational artworks from digital images. The system is able to record an image of each paint stroke independent of the overall picture, in addition to some details about each stroke. Working with sets of paint strokes from paintings of different images, we inve...

This paper gives a detailed study on the performance of oil paint image filter algorithm with various parameters applied on an image of RGB model. Oil Paint image processing, being very performance hungry, current research tries to find improvement using parallel pattern library. With increasing kernelsize, the processing time of oil paint image filter algorithm increases exponentially.

This white paper discusses methods and findings from one of Novetta’s many approaches to vulnerability assessment: the fabrication of non-gelatinous artifacts for capacitive fingerprint sensors. We present methods of evaluating artifact performance relative to that of live presentations and gummy fingerprint artifacts. Two sets of artifacts are comprised of latex face paint or acrylic fabric pa...

We describe a new approach to modelling pearlescent paints based on decomposing paint layers into stacks of imaginary thin sublayers. The sublayers are chosen so thin that multiple scattering can be considered across different sublayers, while it can be neglected within each of the sublayers. Based on this assumption, an efficient recursive procedure of assembling the layers is developed, which...

Abstract The paper considers an approach to monitoring the condition of treated surface in real time based on laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy technique. As a result study, aluminum alloy was cleaned from plimer coating, spectral analysis carried out, relationship between processing modes and thickness coating being removed experimentally established, which allows removing paint one pass wi...

In this study we estimated the number of housing units in the United States with lead-based paint and lead-based paint hazards. We included measurements of lead in intact and deteriorated paint, interior dust, and bare soil. A nationally representative, random sample of 831 housing units was evaluated in a survey between 1998 and 2000; the units and their occupants did not differ significantly ...
