This research proposes the low voltage measurement from a piezoelectric transducer. The vibration source is acquired from water drop impact for different distances. A strip chart was used to record voltage signal from piezoelectric at a 100-Hz sampling rate. The voltage for each sample was saved in excel format and analysed in MATLAB software. The voltage generated has been compared with and analysed for three types of piezoelectric transducers from polyvinylidene fluoride type (PVDF). Based on ...

Escherichia coli also known as E. coli are gram-negative facultative anaerobic, rod-shaped, Coliform bacteria, commonly found in the lower intestine of warm-blooded organisms. This study was designed to determine the antibiotic susceptibility and the phenotypic detection of AmpC beta-lactamase producing Escherichia coli from the urine of students attending FuLafia Clinic, Nasarawa State, Nigeria. A total of 22 urine samples were collected from the students. Eleven (50%) E...

With the help of Mindlin’s tensor, the problem of heterogeneity in an elastic half-space comes down to the solution system of integrable equations. Different versions of the solution of such systems are considered. The main attention is paid to the solution of integrable equations with small parameters.
