we use many kinds of combinations of raw materials and production levels in producing composite materials. testing all the states are difficult or even impossible. taguchi method is a numerical method which predicts optimum state of composite materials using special orthogonal arrays. in this research we have discussed useablity of this method and its’ potential in finding optimum mix design of...

statement of problem: bracket de-bonding during initial orthodontic archwire placement immediately after bracket set up or following re-bonding a single bracket can be a clinical concern. purpose: the aim of this in vitro study was to assess the effect of time on the shear bond strength of a no-mix orthodontic composite adhesive. materials and methods: seventy freshly extracted human upper firs...

E-marketing strategy is normally based and built upon the traditional 4 P's (Product, Price, Promotion and Place) that forms the classic marketing mix; e-marketing’s uniqueness is created using a series of specific and relational functions that are combined with the 4P’s to form the emarketing mix elements, each of which contain associated e-marketing mix tools that are provided on business web...

We construct the first mix-net that is secure against adaptive adversaries corrupting any minority of the mix-servers and any set of senders. The mix-net is based on the Paillier cryptosystem and analyzed in the universal composability model without erasures under the decisional composite residuosity assumption, the strong RSA-assumption, and the discrete logarithm assumption. We assume the exi...

In this paper, reduced graphene oxide (RGO) was prepared by means of γ -ray irradiation of graphene oxide (GO) in a water/ethanol mix solution, and we investigated the influence of reaction parameters, including ethanol concentration, absorbed dose, and dose rate during the irradiation. Due to the good dispersibility of the RGO in the mix solution, we built up flexible and conductive composite ...

This article addresses the design of a self-compacting gypsum-based lightweight composite (SGLC). A β-hemihydrate is used as binder and lightweight aggregate (LWA, 0-2 mm in different size ranges) is used as aggregate into this composite. The mix of the new composite is designed based on the particle size distribution grading theory applying the modified Andreasen and Andersen (A&A) grading lin...

This paper is focused on using foam concrete as structural element in polymer-concrete composite plate girders. Trial mixes of foam concrete and different proportions of foam agent were considered to obtain the suitable mix that can be used as structural element in composite girders system. Details of the experimental investigations on foam concrete precast slabs and polymer-concrete composite ...

Neutrinos can have naturally small Dirac masses if the Standard Model singlet right-handed neutrinos are light composite fermions. Theories which produce light composite fermions typically generate many of them, three of which can marry the left-handed neutrinos with small Dirac masses. The rest can serve as sterile states which can mix with the Standard Model neutrinos. We present explicit mod...
