Abstract: Water-related cancers may be classified in four groups, which correspond closely and naturally with those used by Bradley for the classification of water-related communicable disease: (1) waterborne cancers induced by ...

Abstract: The workspace of a regional structure of a manipulator is bounded by a Jacobian surface (where the Jacobian is singular) or a D -surface (where one or more of the joints achieve a limit position). The Jacobian...

Abstract: Parametric coupling that arises under certain conditions of excitation has been analyzed in an electrical R-L-C circuit that is coupled with a mechanical system through a nonlinear inductance. ...

Abstract: This is a review of selected publications over the past eight years, dealing with the analysis and design of self-acting, gas-lubricated bearings. An effort has been made to evaluate the ...

Abstract: The motion coefficients and design methods for a wheel rolling externally or internally to a fixed wheel are given in Part I for linkage constraint satisfying up to 6 multiply separated ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the industrial measurement of gases and liquids by means of thin-plate orifices. Installation and maintenance practices which reduce measurement errors are described. Records ...

Abstract: The degree of dispersion of short microfibers in cement, as assessed by electrical resistivity measurement for the case of electrically conductive fibers at a volume fraction below the percolation threshold, is improved ...
