A Test Not Hard to Swallow [PDF]
Which cancer is as lethal as pancreatic cancer, kills more people than ovarian cancer, and has quadrupled in incidence during the past 3 decades? An underappreciated killer—esophageal adenocarcinoma. “Esophageal adenocarcinoma has gone from being a tumor that was never seen to being commonplace,” states Sanford (Sandy) Markowitz, Professor of Cancer ...

Hardness relationship between eNM3A10 and conventional hardness scales
Small ball rebound hardness eNM3A10 is a next-generation rebound hardness test with features not existing in conventional rebound hardness tests: reduced mass effect of hardness and satisfying the similarity rule of hardness (Minimum thickness of steel ...

Preparation and Properties of Sn-TiO2 nanocomposite coatings [PDF]
Sn-TiO2 nanocomposite coatings were prepared by sol-gel enhanced electrodeposition technique and the effect of c concentration on the performance of the composite coatings was investigated by adding different volumes of TiO2 sol to the electrolyte.

Some 3CNF properties are hard to test [PDF]
Summary: For a Boolean formula \(\phi\) on n variables, the associated property \(P_\phi\) is the collection of \(n\)-bit strings that satisfy \(\phi\). We study the query complexity of tests that distinguish (with high probability) between strings in \(P_\phi\) and strings that are far from \(P_\phi\) in Hamming distance.

A fiber detector radiation hardness test [PDF]
An intense 146 MeV/c pion beam was stopped inside a scintillating fiber detector made out of 12 planes with 16 pixels each, where every pixel consists out of 8 times 8 scintillating fibers of 500 mkm diameter dense packed. The detector was irradiated for 52 hours to more than 1 Mrad at its center.

Basic mechanical properties of layered steels
This article deals with identifying attributes of layered steel materials (damask steel) with the help of mechanical tests. Experimentally verify basic mechanical properties of layered steel and subsequently assessed it in comparison with the values ...

Testing Expressibility Is Hard [PDF]
We study the expressibility problem: given a finite constraint language Γ on a finite domain and another relation R, can Γ express R? We prove, by an explicit family of examples, that the standard witnesses to expressibility and inexpressibility (gadgets/formulas/conjunctive queries and polymorphisms respectively) may be required to be exponentially ...

Effects of Brushing Simulation on the Surface Roughness, Microhardness and Colour Stability of Indirect Composite Resin and Polyetheretherketone Polymer: An In-vitro Study [PDF]
Introduction: Indirect composite and Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) are widely used in restorative dentistry due to their favourable mechanical and aesthetic properties. However, their durability under simulated brushing conditions, which mimic routine oral
