Non-contact, remote monitoring of thickness and drying progress of a paint film is required in fields of non-destructive testing and evaluation. For rapid image acquisition of 2D cross-section in paint film, we propose a terahertz (THz) paintmeter based on real-time 2D THz tomography, which is achieved by a combination of electro-optical time-to-space conversion and line focusing of a THz beam ...

This quarter we modified the database to account for the ship classification and ship counting guidance in the Secretary of the Navy’s Instruction 5030.8A [3]. First, we inserted four new fields: 1. 5030.8A Force Category – “Battleforce” or “Non-Battleforce.”1, 2 2. 5030.8A Ship Category – “Combatant Ship,” “Auxiliary Ship,” or “Combatant Craft.” 3. 5030.8A Ship Classification – For example: “W...

To reduce water traffic accident, identification of overloaded ships has been of major importance for enforcing inland river management, especially in some developing countries. Driven by rising oil prices or other economic benefits, the ship overload phenomenon continued to occur in China. Therefore, overloaded ship detection has been of a key factor of shipping safety. This paper presented a ...

Our recent studies revealed that the inositol phosphatase Src homology 2 (SH2) domain-containing inositol phosphatase (SHIP) is phosphorylated and associated with Shc exclusively under negative signaling conditions in B cells, which is due to recruitment of the SHIP SH2 domain to the FcgammaRIIb. In addition, we reported that SHIP-Shc interaction involves both SHIP SH2 and Shc phosphotyrosine b...

The SH2-containing inositol-5'-phosphatase, SHIP, restrains bone marrow-derived mast cell (BMMC) degranulation, at least in part, by hydrolyzing phosphatidylinositol (PI)-3-kinase generated PI-3,4,5-P(3) (PIP3) to PI-3,4-P(2). To determine which domains within SHIP influence its ability to hydrolyze PIP3, bone marrow from SHIP(-/-) mice was retrovirally infected with various SHIP constructs. In...

A theory of the Hindenburg fire that has gained popular acceptance proposes that an incendiary paint covered the outer surface of the airship. Further, according to this theory, the paint was both the point of ignition and the sole cause of the rapid spread of the fire. The hydrogen within the airship is held blameless for both the start of the fire and its subsequent advance. We have examined ...

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 ...
