Today, offline programing is available on industrial manipulators and used in many factories.However, the absolute accuracy of robots is insufficient due to manufacturing and assembly tolerances, thus it is necessary to perform kinematic calibration in advance.Most of existing calibration methods require a large amount of measurements just to calib
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is emerging as a global threat to public health.One of the strategies employed to combat AMR is the use of adjuvants which act to enhance or reinstate antimicrobial activity Welding Table Tools by inhibiting resistance mechanisms.However, these adjuvants are themselves not immune to selecting resistant phenotypes.Thus
Beetle activity deep inside wood was studied in field (Mt.Yoshida, Kyoto) and laboratory conditions by monitoring the type and amount of frass ejected from beetle galleries of Platypus quercivorus.Twenty-one galleries were selected from five infested Quercus serrata trees for field studies.In the laboratory, frass production was monitored for three
The organic Rankine cycle (ORC)-based waste heat recovery (WHR) system operating under a supercritical condition has a higher potential of thermal efficiency and work output than a traditional subcritical cycle.However, the operation of supercritical cycles is more challenging due to the high pressure in the system and transient behavior of waste h
The torque converter is a kind of fluid coupling that is widely used as a start-up device for automobiles equipped with an automatic transmission.A lock-up clutch is often incorporated in the torque converter in order to improve vehicle fuel economy in the higher speed ratio range.This improvement is obtained because the lock-up clutch can reduce f
