Effect of Casting Conditions on the Fracture Strength of Al-5 Mg Alloy Castings by Fawzia Hamed Basuny, Mootaz Ghazy, Abdel-Razik Y. Kandeil, Mahmoud Ahmed El-Sayed

“…In this work, the Weibull moduli for the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and % elongation of sand cast bars produced under different casting conditions were compared as indicators of casting reliability which was expected to be a function of the oxide film content. The results showed that the use of a thin runner along with the use of filters can significantly eliminate the surface turbulence of the melt during mould filling which would lead to the avoidance of the generation and entrainment of surface oxide films and in turn produce castings with more reliable and reproducible mechanical properties compared to the castings produced using conventional running systems.…”

Background Traffic-Based Retransmission Algorithm for Multimedia Streaming Transfer over Concurrent Multipaths by Yuanlong Cao, Changqiao Xu, Jianfeng Guan, Hongke Zhang

“…The content-rich multimedia streaming will be the most attractive services in the next-generation networks. With function of distribute data across multipath end-to-end paths based on SCTP's multihoming feature, concurrent multipath transfer SCTP (CMT-SCTP) has been regarded as the most promising technology for the efficient multimedia streaming transmission. …”

Preliminary analysis of wind and wave retrieval from Chinese 1mC-SAR image by Yu-Hang Zhou, Meng-Yu Hao, Wei-Zeng Shao, Armando Marino, Xin-Gai Song, Xing-Wei Jiang

“…The wave slop spectrum is inverted from co-polarized image by polarimetric technique, in which the term of wind speed is included in the model transfer function (MTF) of tilt modulation. Significant wave height (SWH) retrievals are compared with the simulations by the third-generation numeric wave model, denoted as WAVEWATCH-III (WW3), showing a 0.53 m RMSE with a 0.36 SI. …”

Mental and Medical sciences today by David L. Rowland, Ion G. Motofei

“…Despite enormous progress in neuroimaging, it remains unclear how abstract ideas come to “control” the physical brain and body to generate actions, responses, and behaviors. Thus, abstract ideas of the mind (e.g., the desire to seek a promotion, to become famous, or to help those surrounding you) can drive decision making and life choices more strongly than the concrete/ biological needs of the body (food, warmth, shelter, etc.). …”

The stabilizing potential of the supraspinatus is inhibited in tear-associated scapula shapes but can be modulated by kinematic adjustments by Erin C. S. Lee, Nathan M. Young, Ellen Y. Li, Rebekah L. Lawrence, Michael J. Rainbow

“…A primary role of the supraspinatus is to actively stabilize the glenohumeral joint against muscles that generate destabilizing shear forces. Mechanisms that increase the supraspinatus load required to perform this stabilizing function may increase an individual's susceptibility to tears. …”

Tetraspanin Cd9b and Cxcl12a/Cxcr4b have a synergistic effect on the control of collective cell migration. by Katherine S Marsay, Sarah Greaves, Harsha Mahabaleshwar, Charmaine Min Ho, Henry Roehl, Peter N Monk, Tom J Carney, Lynda J Partridge

“…We corroborate that knockdown of the zebrafish cd9 tetraspanin orthologue, cd9b, results in mild pLL abnormalities. Through generation of CRISPR and TALEN mutants, we show that cd9a and cd9b function partially redundantly in pLLP migration, which is delayed in the cd9b single and cd9a; cd9b double mutants. …”
