Values of static and kinetic friction coefficient in micro slide bearings, consisting of journals and bushings (with the diameter of 3.5 mm) made of pairs Short Sleeve Tops of 5 polymer materials (16 chosen combinations of PA11, ABS, PC, PS and PETP), were determined.A method of measuring static and kinetic friction coefficient, at various values o

This study explores the nature of the oral-nasal vowel contrast in Brazilian Portuguese (BP).While vowel nasality is a salient property in the language, scholars differ on whether this property forms the basis of a phonological contrast.The presence of a consonant-like nasal resonance at the right edge of the heavily nasalized vowels (i.e., nasal a
