Thermobonding is widely used in producing of nonwovens. In this study various layers of thermobonded nonwovens were produced by altering the pressure, binder fibres and quality of blending. Mechanical properties of the so-called layers such as breaking strength and breaking elongation, bending rigidity and air permeability were assessed consequently. The structure of the layers was then studied...

Fifteen Rosa cultivated races were described by means of phenotypic frequencies (11 tables). Two groups of correlated contingency tables were identified by ACT-STATIS (Analyse Conjointe de Tableaux-Structuration de Tableaux à Trois Indices de la Statistique) interstructure analysis. Three data sets appeared to be independent from the others. Typologies of races were obtained after ACT-STATIS co...

While the use of a normalized pivot structure between analysis and synthesis is a fact for many current transfer-based FAMT systems, this structure is usually tailored for one particular language-pair. The question for a "universal" pivot structure arises when the FAMT is intended to be multilingual. Such universal pivot structure (i.e., the TIS) deviates from the Interlingua approach in that i...

We describe approaches for distances between pairs of two-dimensional surfaces (embedded in three-dimensional space) that use local structures and global information contained in interstructure geometric relationships. We present algorithms to automatically determine these distances as well as geometric correspondences. This approach is motivated by the aspiration of students of natural science...

Conventional soil additives can cause serious environmental problems due to the greenhouse gas emission, consumption of huge amounts energy in their production process and threatening plant cover underground water quality. To eliminate these destroying effects, environmentally friendly have gained great consideration. Although polysaccharides are considered as powerful biocompatible recent stud...
