The application of reliability centered maintenance onrepairable equipment requires that the reliability calculation should not to be based on failure statistics, as in traditional methods, but rather on its condition.The "load vs resistance" method presumesthe comparison of process parameters with carefully selected mechanical properties of the ma
Annihilation of point defect pairs in freely suspended liquid-crystal films
We study the annihilation of topological defect Side Chairs pairs in the quasi-two-dimensional geometry of freely suspended smectic films.This elementary process is at the basis of all models describing the statistics of complex defect patterns.We prepare pairs with opposite topological charges and retrieve the interaction mechanisms from their tra
The incidence of Pyrenochaeta terrestris in root of different plant species in Serbia
Root samples of cereals (oats, wheat, barley, maize and Accessories:Car Parts:Emission Systems:Lambda Probes sorghum), vegetables (garlic, onion, pepper, cucumber, pumpkin, carrot and tomato), industrial plant (soya bean) and weeds (Johnson grass, barnyard grass and green bristle-grass) collected in different agroecological conditions in Serbia wer
Functional MRI in pre-surgical planning: Case study and cautionary notes
Background.Since its inception almost 20 years ago, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has greatly advanced our knowledge of human brain function.Although the clinical applications of fMRI are still limited, there have recently been encouraging advances for its use in pre-operative functional cortical mapping to identify potentially eloqu
Swimming of Motile Gyrotactic Microorganisms and Nanoparticles in Blood Flow Through Anisotropically Tapered Arteries
In the present article, we have presented a theoretical study on the swimming of migratory gyrotactic microorganisms in a non-Newtonian blood-based nanofluid via an anisotropically Texas narrowing artery.Sutterby fluid model is used in order to understand the rheology of the blood as a non-Newtonian fluid model.This fluid pattern has the ability to
