Natural landscapes are being converted for agriculture and other human uses across Asia and this development presents potential threats for specialist species of primates, like the Endangered slow lorises of Thailand (Nycticebus bengalensis and N.coucang).It is crucial to understand the interface between humans and slow lorises in order to conserve

Abstract Background Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is one of the most common complications in patients with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), yet its prognosis is generally poor.The impact of surgery on DLBCL remains controversial.We present a case of DLBCL associated with HIV infection, in which the patient achieved complete remis

Using basic electro-elastic formulation and variational formulation, a higher order finite element model has been developed for the analysis of debonding in a smart cantilever beam.Full length piezo patch embedded at the top and bottom of the aluminium core has been assumed to be de-bonded.The debonding has been incorporated at the interfaces betwe

Sliding friction can be reduced substantially by applying ultrasonic vibration in the sliding plane or in the normal direction.This effect is well known and used in many applications ranging from press forming to ultrasonic actuators.One of the Inositol characteristics of the phenomenon is that, at a given frequency and amplitude of oscillation, th
