Workability, abundance of raw material in certain parts of the world and ease production of the brick are factors that made this technical solution interesting to be disseminated around the world in order to fulfill demands for habitation.
Interaction among factors such as dimensions, corrections, cures and stabilization, contributes for final adobe brick’s performance.
A foundation can be built with materials to avoid that this humidity affects the walls.
The bricks drying time was different in all constructions and this fact indicates that – depending on factors as local temperature, conditions for the cure (under the sun or in shade) and dimensions of the brick – this ideal time for drying can vary.
Evaluation of physical and mechanical properties of adobe (Bricks of raw earth).

In recent years, many researchers have study the effect of sugarcane vinasse to the agronomic traits of sugarcane[3,4], yield and quality of sugarcane[5,6], the optimal restitution amount [3], physical and chemical properties of soil[7,8] and biological characters of sugarcane field[9,10,11], while the effect of different layers and vertical distribution characteristics of sugarcane soil by using sugarcane vinasse are rarely reported.
Besides, 1.5 is the conversion factor which can eliminate changes of background value caused by rock difference.
It is concluded that using sugarcane vinasse can reduce the pH value of sugarcane fields and affect to a certain soil depth.
In addition, sugarcane vinasse was used in liquid, so it had better penetration ability and could be affected to a certain depth.
Furthermore, the mechanical entrapment of soil, fixed of organic matters and adsorbed of soil colloids will generate blocking effect on the migration of Cu.

The objectives of the physical therapy intervention program must be tailored according to the degree of disability presented by the patient, to the range of the impairments affecting gait and converging to the disability, to his/her physical and psychological resources, as well as to the individual consideration for a good quality of life.
Gait is disturbed, impaired and even impossible in some medical conditions, and the contextual personal and environmental factors may improve or may worsen the walking ability of the person /13/.

A critical increase in cell mass is required and synthesis and activation of various growth factors is necessary for the G2-M transition.
Activation of several immediate early response genes and synthesis of growth factors is likely to modulate the cell cycle response of osteoblasts to Bioglass.
The transcription factors that were activated include c-jun, fra-1 and c-myc, three well characterised osteoblast transcription factors.
Thus, osteocytes represent the cell population responsible for extracellular matrix production and mineralisation, the final step in bone development and probably the most crucial one given the importance of collagen-hydroxyl carbonate apatite (HCA) bonding in determining the biomechanical properties of bone.

Use properties of electrically conductive yarns such as washability [4 – 6] have already been investigated and are not the focus of the investigations here.
The silver coating (which generates the electrical conductivity) of yarn Y1 is inevitably more susceptible to abrasion [13], compared to a yarn that gets its electrical properties from the fiber material alone.
Another significant influencing factor is the use of the binding elements.
However, this is necessary to develop sensors with improved usage properties.

Batch adsorption tests were done for both adsorbents in order to determine the effects of various factors, such as pH, adsorbent dosage, and contact time.
To ascertain the effectiveness and identify significant differences between the factors applied to the adsorbent, the kinetics and equilibrium adsorption of the GO and EGO was calculated.
Sufficient contact time is necessary to achieve equilibrium, with optimal times depending on the other two factors.
Other variables such as temperature (298 K), initial concentration (25 ppm), volume (25 mL), and the rate of mechanical stirring (300 rpm) are consistent unless otherwise stated.

Properties of the numerical models used for model validation are presented in Table 1.
Since no symmetry can be used in the model with LAV, the fluid domain mesh was refined toward the ignition point of the charge using the biasing factor of 4, in order to reduce the model size as well as to ensure the validated blast wave loading parameters [7].

SURF Algorithm Document [11] mentioned that we can extracts feature points with SURF method, which based on SIFT algorithm, used integral image for replacing image convolution, and used the mathematical properties of Hessian matrix for testing eigen values.
Although the quality of extracting feature points is affected to a certain degree, with the greatly improvement of the algorithm speed, realizing the real-time mosaicking has become possible.
Supposing I is a level in the space, whose imaging under two viewpoints are I1 , I2, making ， be any pair of corresponding points, image transformation relation is showed by formula (1) : （1） where S is nonzero scale factor, the formula for the calculation of H is as follows: （2） where H is called the homography matrix for the image (I1, I2) about level I.
According to the property of homography matrix, a good performance homography matrix allows two images to be spliced together perfectly.

In spite of the challenges of titanium, titanium alloy and the new composite materials, but it still as the main material of various mechanical structures in aircraft [1-3].
However, dynamic recrystallization during thermoplastic deformation leads to grain coarsening, affects parts forming process.
Simulation parameters were set as follows: the punch stroke 60mm, extrusion speed 1mm/s, 200 simulation steps, the step size 0.3mm, element numbers 8000, boundary friction factor 0.12, the extrusion temperature 20 °C.
The narrower the shear zone, the closer to the ideal of a simple deformation of shear, thus it can better control the microstructure and properties of materials.
