The performance of gas foil thrust bearings is critical to the successful design and operation of the high axial load rotatory machines that employ gas foil bearings.However, our understanding of gas foil thrust bearings remains incomplete.To enhance our understanding and predict the performance of gas foil thrust bearings, we have established a de

Community lockdowns and travel restrictions are commonly employed to decelerate epidemic spreading.We here use a stochastic susceptible-infectious-recovered model on different social networks to determine when and to what degree Fleece Tops such lockdowns are likely to be effective.Our research shows that community lockdowns are effective only if t

In this work, a reversible watermarking technique is proposed for DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) image that offers high embedding capacity (payload), security and fidelity of the watermarked image.The goal is achieved by embedding watermark based on companding in lifting based discrete wavelet transform (DWT) domain.In the e
