TL;DR: In this article, a survey of the literature on residual stresses in continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites is presented, and experimental techniques to determine the magnitude and distribution of these stresses on various mechanical levels are outlined.
Abstract: This study forms part of a literature survey on residual stresses in continuous fibre reinforced thermoplastic composites. After identification of the factors responsible for the thermal residual stress build-up in Part I [Parlevliet PP, Bersee HEN, Beukers A. Residual stresses in thermoplastic composites – A study of the literature – Part I: Formation of residual stresses. Composites Part A – Appl Sci Manuf, in press, doi:10.1016/j.compositesa.2005.12.025 ], experimental techniques to determine the magnitude and distribution of these stresses on various mechanical levels are outlined. The techniques are placed in the following categories: techniques utilising the intrinsic composite constituents’ material properties; techniques employing embedded “foreign” stress sensors; techniques based on in-plane and out-of-plane deformations, and destructive techniques.

TL;DR: CIoMT platform enables real-time tracking, remote health monitoring, rapid diagnosis of the cases, contact tracking, clustering, screening, and surveillance thus, reducing the workload on the medical industry for prevention and control of the infection.
Abstract: Background and aim In the age of advanced digital technology, smart healthcare based on the Internet of Things (IoT) is gaining importance to deal with the current COVID-19 pandemic. In this paper, the novel application of cognitive radio (CR) based IoT specific for the medical domain referred to as Cognitive Internet of Medical Things (CIoMT) is explored to tackle the global challenge. This concept of CIoT is best suited to this pandemic as every person is to be connected and monitored through a massive network that requires efficient spectrum management. Methods An extensive literature survey is conducted in the Google Scholar, Scopus, PubMed, Research Gate, and IEEE Xplore databases using the terms “COVID-19” and “Cognitive IoT” or “Corona virus” and “IoMT”. The latest data and inputs from official websites and reports are used for further investigation and analysis of the application areas. Results This review encompasses different novel applications of CIoMT for fighting the ongoing COVID-19 health crisis. The CR based dynamic spectrum allocation technique is the solution for accommodating a massive number of devices and a wide number of applications. The CIoMT platform enables real-time tracking, remote health monitoring, rapid diagnosis of the cases, contact tracking, clustering, screening, and surveillance thus, reducing the workload on the medical industry for prevention and control of the infection. The challenges and future research directions are also identified. Conclusions CIoMT is a promising technology for rapid diagnosis, dynamic monitoring and tracking, better treatment and control without spreading the virus to others.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the major determinants of an effective website and found that the major categories of determinants are: page loading speed, business content, navigation efficiency, security, and marketing/customer focus.
Abstract: The success of electronic commerce for any individual company, especially if it is not a well-known name, is greatly dependent on the appropriate design of its Website. This study investigates the major determinants of an effective Website. A literature survey indicated that the major categories of determinants are: page loading speed, business content, navigation efficiency, security, and marketing/customer focus. The relative importance of each category was determined by counting the number of citations in the literature, and by conducting a survey for soliciting the opinions of customers and potential customers of e-commerce. The research reported is exploratory, aiming to identify the most important issues as perceived by different groups of users. The major findings indicated the expert and consumer differ significantly in what they consider to be the most important factors.

TL;DR: In this article, a literature survey of experiences of using multi-nutrient rock fertilizers for soil fertility enhancement from temperate and tropical environments is provided, where the potential of combining organic materials alongside rock fertilizer in soil fertility replenishment strategies is stressed.
Abstract: In many parts of the world food security is at risk. One of the biophysical root causes of falling per-capita food production is the declining quality and quantity of soils. To reverse this trend and increase soil fertility soil and plant nutrients have to be replenished. This review provides a literature survey of experiences of using multi-nutrient rock fertilizers for soil fertility enhancement from temperate and tropical environments. Advantages and limitations of the application of rock fertilizers are discussed. Examples are provided from two successful nutrient replenishment projects in Africa where locally available rock fertilizers are used on highly leached acid soils. The potential of combining organic materials alongside rock fertilizers in soil fertility replenishment strategies is stressed.

TL;DR: Zoophilous flowers often appear to be precisely formed for pollen transfer and exhibit relatively little variability in structure within species, but functional optimization by the seemingly exacting requirements of pollen transfer may account for these observations.
