In this study, ANSYS finite element software is used to simulate the temperature and stress field in the laser powder deposition process. The model is used to determine the effect of the deposition pattern on the final stress distribution. Four deposition patterns are defined to cover the same area: long bead, short bead, spiral in, and spiral out. The results show that the deposition pattern s...

Penultimate non-lexical prominence, or PNLP, is a variant of rising-falling boundary pitch movement (L%HL%) in Tokyo Japanese. Analysis of Corpus of Spontaneous Japanese revealed hitherto unknown function of the PNLP. It occurred basically only once near the end of an utterance flanked by deep clause boundaries. This finding suggests strongly the interpretation that native speakers of Japanese ...

Nannocystin A is a 21-membered cyclodepsipeptide showing remarkable anticancer properties. Described is the total synthesis of nannocystin A, which features an asymmetric vinylogous Mukaiyama aldol reaction for efficient assembly of the penultimate open-chain precursor and a pivotal intramolecular Heck cross-coupling for the final macrocyclization.

ABSTRACT Optimizing the source size and its utilization by the sink is one of the main factors enhancing the yield potential and decreasing water demand in crops when exposed to drought. To investigate the effect of defoliation on leaf water relations, chlorophyll content and yield components of five triticale genotypes including Sanabad, Juanillo, ET-83-3, ET-84-5 and ET-84-8 under well-watere...

the present article investigates the stress pattern system of central sarawani balochi (csb), spoken in sarawan located in sistan and baluchestan province of the islamic republic of iran, based on metrical theory as developed in hayes (1995). correspondingly, the present research illustrates the position of primary and secondary stress in mono-morphemic words, verbal paradigms, compound words, ...

Unsteady hydromagnetic generalised Couette flow of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid between two horizontal parallel porous plates Darcian channel in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field taking Hall current and ion-slip into account in a rotating system is investigated. An exact solution of the governing equations is obtained by Laplace transform techniq...

OBJECTIVE To increase the positive and mitigate the negative health impacts of the mayor's draft transport strategy for London. DESIGN A rapid prospective health impact assessment (HIA) of the penultimate draft of the strategy, using a review commissioned by the regional director of public health; an appraisal of congestion charging; and a participatory workshop. Two audits of changes were pe...

The phase image in radionuclide ventriculography shows the timing of ventricular contraction and is valuable in the detection of abnormalities induced by coronary artery disease. The image is usually interpreted subjectively, and in the present study a histogram of left ventricular phase values was used to make interpretation more objective. The left ventricular ejection fraction and the standa...
