In acid-base titrations, indicators are used to show sharp color change at intervals of pH. Natural pigments in plants are highly colored substances and may show color change with variation of pH. An attempt has been made to investigate the indicator activity of flower pigments and to replace synthetic indicators as they have certain disadvantage like chemical pollution, availability problems and high cost.

This paper studies the vibrational characteristics of multi-span beams with continuously varying rectangular cross-section of depth and breadth proportional to Xs and Xt respectively where s and t may be given arbitrary real numbers for a truncated beam and arbitrary positive numbers for a sharp ended beam and x is the coordinate along the centreline of the beam, measured from the sharp end of the beam. The Bernoulli-Euler theory of bending is used to describe the dynamic deflection of the beam. A new set of admissible functions are developed from the static solutions of the tapered beam with

The alkalinity of water is one of the important parameters of water quality. The volumetric titration method using a standardized hydrochloric acid solution is a prevalent technique to estimate individual concentrations of basic radicals, like, , , and ions, which are primarily responsible for the alkalinity of water. However, the method needs two external indicators, namely phenolphthalein and methyl red to mark the end points of titrations. Furthermore, accuracy of the method is sacrificed due to inevitable parallax errors during marking of the end point of titration. This present work repor

However, the acquired data are characterized by hight levels of noise and by low resolution, both affecting their consequent analysis and 3D modeling.

Social behaviour is widespread in the microbial world, yet social evolution theory was mostly developed with multicellular animals in mind. One difference between multicellular organisms and microbes is the prevalence of mobile genetic elements, such as plasmids, in microbial populations. Plasmids are often implicated in the production of so-called public goods, and relatedness may be at the heart of this phenomenon. However, gene mobility introduces a temporal aspect to relatedness: because genotypes can change over the life cycle, two bacteria may share a gene at one time point, but not at s

In ascetic traditions painfully aware of humanity’s quintessence – ‘dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return’ – humiliation cultivates humility. Like the terms in question, T. S.

Abstract:
To adhere an artificial retinal implant onto the epiretinal surface of the eye, our group has designed retinal microtacks. The microtacks were fabricated by first bonding titanium foil to a silicon wafer; the tacks were then machined using an ultra-high precision micromilling technique with a 150-μm end-mill. The versatility of the micromilling technique allowed a partially conical, tapered tip to be added to the Ti tack, which created a sharp point. The Ti tacks average overall length and width were measured to be within 1% and 6%, respectively, of the design. Additionally, the grip width, st

Abstract:
According to the theory presented by the authors, the tip clearance loss of an unshrouded centrifugal impeller mainly consists of two kinds of loss; one is the drag due to the leakage flow through the blade tip clearance and the other is the pressure loss to support the fluid in the thin annular clearance space between the shroud and the blade tip against the pressure gradient in the meridional plane without blades. The former is proportional to the leakage flow or the contraction coefficient of leakage flow. The authors have conducted performance tests using an impeller with sixteen backward-

Abstract:
The pressure drop and heat transfer in a two pass internal cooling channel with two different bend geometries is experimentally studied with the goal of improving the Thermal Performance Factor (TPF) in the coolant channel. The geometries studied are: (1) a baseline U-bend geometry with a rectangular divider wall, (2) a symmetrical bulb at the end of the divider wall, and (3) a combination of the symmetrical bulb and a bow on the opposite outer wall leading to a shaped flow contraction and expansion in the bend. Tests are conducted for four Reynolds number ranging from 10000 to 55000. The symm

Abstract:
This work discusses the image neuromorphic encoding/decoding issues inspired by the mechanisms of visual perception encoding/decoding. The importance of this topic is directly related to the current problems of perceptual quality and perceptual reconstruction of images today. Therefore, to obtain reliable results in these directions, it was natural to turn to the most adequate mechanisms of perception. As a result, we propose a new approach to image processing, which uses the most realistic representation of the input data in the form of a stream of events or counts. Such events / counts simul

Abstract:
The roller profile appears to be the key element to attain a longer rating life for both cylindrical and tapered roller bearings. A genuine elastic analysis is able to optimize the roller profile to obtain a stress distribution in the contact zones that provides enhanced operational reliability and greater insensitivity to misalignment. For traditional cylindrical-crowned roller profile design class I discontinuities exist at the intersection points of roller profile with the crowning radius as well as at the end chamfer. In an elastic analysis these discontinuities generate very sharp increas

The Panamanian economy performed spectacularly starting in 1989, growing at an average real rate of 6% per year for thirty years. It was the highest registered in the Latin American Region and one of the highest globally. In addition, important achievements were obtained that were not achieved in other countries inside and outside the region. The middle class expanded and strengthened. The general poverty level fell from 37.9% in 2000 to 21.5% in 2019, and the extreme poverty level from 21.9% to 10.0%, mainly due to transfers from low-income households.
