ACTUAL STATE OF KNOWLEDGE OF THE LIMNO-TERRESTRIAL TARDIGRADE FAUNA OF THE REPUBLIC OF ARGENTINA AND NEW GENUS ASSIGNMENT FOR VIRIDISCUS RUFOVIRIDIS (DU BOIS-REYMOND MARCUS, 1944)

Actual State of Knowledge of the Limno-Terrestrial Tardigrade Fauna of the Republic of Argentina and New Genus Assignment for Viridiscus rufoviridis (du Bois-Reymond Marcus, 1944)

Limno-terrestrial tardigrades of Argentina had been studied starting in 1908 and for a long time by European researchers, most frequently Utility Pouches in the Patagonian region (incl.the Land of Fire).Starting during the 1980s, Claps, Rossi and collaborators published many surveys, studying other regions also, but with taxonomic criteria at that

Debris Flow Debris Flow Detection by Combinations of LVP Sensors and Wires: Examples in Sakura-jima Island in Japan

Various kinds of sensors for debris flows detection have been proposed such Water Bottle Cap as wire sensor, acceleration sensor, and so on.In Europe, a geophone that is based on a vibration meter is usually used though the applicability is not confirmed for debris flow detection in Japan.A wire sensor is still currently used for debris flow detect

Spalling Life Prediction for Rolling Bearings Using a Model with Stress Intensity Factor and Statistical Evaluation of Non-Metallic Inclusions

Accessories Spalling, which can be classified into sub-surface and surface-originated types, is a major failure mode of rolling bearings due to rolling contact fatigue (RCF).Sub-surface originated spalling typically has a much longer life than surface-originated spalling, indicating that rolling bearings may often exhibit excessive durability in no
