The field study was carried out in Okigwe South-eastern Nigeria. Three profiles were sunk soils of each parent material. Soil samples subjected to routine and standard laboratory analysis for selected physic- chemical properties. morphological physic-chemical properties the varied widely, sand size particles dominated other particle sizes with mean values 448, 538 648 g kg-1 on sandstone, while...

Abstract Historians have often represented prayer as an instrumental response to illness. We argue instead that prayer, together with physic, was part of larger regimes preserve health and prevent disease. focus on early modern England, through the philosophical writings physician, Robert Fludd, medical records clergyman, Richard Napier. Fludd depicted a fortress illness invasion by demons; phy...

The paper attempts to give a contribution to the dynamic analysis of musical instruments through application of a multidisciplinary approach oriented to the study of mechanical, structural, vibratory and acoustical phenomena. The systematic organization of the multidisciplinary study proposed by MUSICOS and some preliminary results related to bowed instruments, with particular reference to viol...

Mass-Spring systems are used widely to implement animation of deformable objects. We have developed a simple mass-spring system to animate a character based on physics. The reason we adopt a mass-spring system is simply we wanted more realism than Free Form Deformation (FFD) techniques can offer, as modeling physical processes. Also, this technique is preferred over Finite Element Methods (FEM)...

The Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) is the biggest public research institute in France. The activity fields cover a large spectrum from social science to mathematics including physic and biology. Some laboratories are directly managed by the CNRS but many others are joint structures with a university or even a private company. With 1300 laboratories the CNRS is a split organ...
