An Approach to Measure Tilt Motion, Straightness and Position of Precision Linear Stage with a 3D Sinusoidal-Groove Linear Reflective Grating and Triangular Wave-Based Subdivision Method

This work presents a novel and compact method for simultaneously measuring errors in linear displacement and vertical straightness of a moving linear air-bearing stage using 3D sinusoidal-groove linear reflective grating and a novel triangular wave-based sequence signal analysis method.The new scheme is distinct from the previous studies as it cons

The threat of multidrug-resistant/extensively drug-resistant Gram-negative respiratory infections: another pandemic

Antibiotic resistance is recognised as a global threat to human ECG-OLD SITE health by national healthcare agencies, governments and medical societies, as well as the World Health Organization.Increasing resistance to available antimicrobial agents is of concern for bacterial, fungal, viral and parasitic pathogens.One of the greatest concerns is th

Strouhal number analysis for the swimming of little penguin (Eudyptula minor): Proof of efficient underwater propulsion

Penguins are the utmost specialized wing-propelled divers as their flapping action is accountable for the entire underwater propulsion.However, numerical evidence of how efficient their underwater propulsion is has not been studied to date.Literature sources suggest that propulsive efficiency peaks when the Strouhal number (St) ranges between 0.2 a
