Buckling of rolled strip

When a strip of metal formed by cold rolling is examined, it is frequently found to contain buckles. If centre buckles occur, the strip is said to have a 'long centre' while edge buckles are usually attributed to 'long edges'. If the wavelength and amplitude of the buckles are large, the shape of the buckles will obviously depend on the configuration in which the strip is held. For example, we expect the pattern of buckles of a strip laid on a flat table to be different those of a strip suspended between two rollers and subjected to tension. It is observed in practice, however, that buckling occurs in some cases with a characteristic wavelength that is relatively robust to strip configuration. An understanding of buckling patterns is of considerable interest to manufacturers of strip, particularly as current trends are to produce thinner sheet which is consequently more prone to buckling. The specific question that BHP Coated Products Division asked the Study Group to consider was whether long centres and edges could give rise to buckling patterns with a robust characteristic frequency

Medical Information Representation Framework for Mobile Healthcare

In mobile healthcare, medical information are often expressed in different formats due to the local policies and regulations and the heterogeneity of the applications, systems, and the adopted Information and communication technology. This chapter describes a framework which enables medical information, in particular clinical vital signs and professional annotations, be processed, exchanged, stored and managed modularly and flexibly in a mobile, distributed and heterogeneous environment despite the diversity of the formats used to represent the information. To deal with medical information represented in multiple formats the authors adopt techniques and constructs similar to the ones used on the Internet, in particular, the authors are inspired by the constructs used in multi-media e-mail and audio-visual data streaming standards. They additionally make a distinction of the syntax for data transfer and store from the syntax for expressing medical domain concepts. In this way, they separate the concerns of what to process, exchange and store from how the information can be encoded or transcoded for transfer over the internet. The authors use an object oriented information model to express the domain concepts and their relations while briefly illustrate how framework tools can be used to encode vital sign data for exchange and store in a distributed and heterogeneous environment

Effects of Some Commercial Enzymes in the Deinking of Newsprint

The trend of industry, in general, today is one of recycling. This is brought about as a means of conserving our dwindling natural resources and to help abate the pollution problem. The design of this paper is to see if enzymes can be used successfully and economically in the deinking process of newsprint. Varying concentrations of enzymes, both an amylase and a protease, and a biodegradable detergent were used in a handsheet study. Temperature and pH were controlled so as to not denature the enzymes. It was found that the brightness increase was only minimal with a protease and brightness actually decreased with an amylase. The physical strength characteristics were also found to decrease with the addition of the enzymes. Therefore, it was concluded that there is very little prospect of enzymes being used in the deinking process to increase brightness or to strengthen the physical properties of newsprint

The impact of the resource room on peer relationships

The purpose of this study was to ascertain if resource room attendance for classified students had an impact on social relationships with their non-classified, general education peers. Specifically, the study sought to establish trends in the following two areas: if resource room students were in fact less likely to be accepted by their general education peers, and the most likely reason why resource room peer non-acceptance would occur. Using student interviews, which consisted of a peer nomination rating, and a Teacher/Faculty Survey, which consisted of three open-ended items and one forced-choice item, data was collected. Using a chi-square analysis of data, it was determined that no significant correlation existed between resource room attendance and peer nonacceptance. It was also determined, via the Teacher/Faculty Survey, the most likely reason resource room students would not be accepted by their general education peers would be because being pulled out for instruction limits the amount of time the two groups of students spend together throughout the school year

Vascular system associated with the sidewall of the braincase and the prootic canals of cynodonts, including mammals

The terminology of the cranial vascular system of cynodonts and early mammals is confusing and this confusion extends to certain associated features of the bones of the braincase. In the present paper it is attempted to clear up some of this confusion and to demonstrate that previous authors have unwittingly used the term ‘prootic canal’ to denote two entirely different structures. New evidence from the Tritylodontoidea allows useful speculation regarding the developmental origin of these ‘prootic canals', as well as the phylogeneticorigin of mammals
