The height of scattering phase center retrieved from InSAR data is considered to be correlated with tree height and the spatial structure of the forest stand. Though some researchers have used simple backscattering models to estimate tree height from the height of scattering center, the effect of forest spatial structure on InSAR data is not well understood yet. A three-dimensional coherent rad...

Measurements of height and weight are important data source relating to growth and development, puberty, and nutritional status of children and adolescents. In clinical setting, the charts of the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), USA, are used in Iran. A survey identified significant differences in weight- and height-for-age across provinces, between urban and rural children. Althou...

Catamaran added V-like center bow (INCAT) is investigated as a wave-piercing vessel to decrease vertical acceleration and diminish slam events during sea-keeping operation. The catamaran and the vessel bow were modeled and the vertical acceleration of model was validated with experimenal test. The geometry of V-like center-bow such as slope of center bow and elevation from demi-hulls was optimi...

BACKGROUND The Coventry Consensus in 1998 recommended a single height measurement of all children at school entry or around the age of 5 years and prompt referral of children with height <0.4th centile for further assessment, in order to identify undetected and treatable asymptomatic growth disorders. AIM To determine adherence and practicalities of following the Coventry Consensus recommenda...

Cellulose nanofibril (CNF) suspensions are not easily coatable because of their excessively high viscosity and yield stress, even at low solids concentrations. In addition, CNF suspensions vary widely in their properties depending on the production process used, which can affect their processability. This work reports roll-to-roll coating of three different types of CNF suspensions with a slot-...

We present experimental results for patterns of Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a cylindrical container with static sidewall forcing. The fluid used was methanol, with a Prandlt number sigma=7.17 , and the aspect ratio was Gamma identical withR/d approximately 19 ( R is the radius and d the thickness of the fluid layer). In the presence of a small heat input along the sidewall, a sudden jump of t...

The center of gravity (COG) height is an important factor affecting rollover. Earlier studies by the authors assessed theory Detection Three-Dimensional Center Gravity (D3DCG), which provides innovative and accurate method for COG detection. This report describes development D3DCG, can be used to prevent rollover accidents calculating maximum lateral force that exist without causing rollover.&#...

Amongst the ever-growing toolbox of microand nanofabrication techniques, polymer replication-based processes continue to attract attention due to the conceptual simplicity, reproducibility, and great variety of often cheap materials that can be used. Cost and time saving advantages are further provided by high throughput replication techniques such as roll-to-roll nanoimprint lithography [ 1 ]
