Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCognitively Inspired Algorithm for Imprecise NavigationMelissa Shahrom, Zalilah Abd AzizThis paper presents an algorithm, namely the private navigation algorithm. The aim of this algorithm is to bridge the gap between high quality navigation services and low quality of location information or imprecise data. Generally, the imprecision is due to the poor positioning technology and the algorithms use to protect location privacy. The benefits of the algorithm are at least … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 6 · 14 Jul 2016 · 7,102 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFractal Dimension for the Characterization of Asphalt Mixture PropertiesGiovanni LeonardiIn the design of asphalt mixtures for paved roads, the shape of solid elements has a great importance. In asphalt concrete, the shape of aggregate particles influences the resistance, durability, stiffness, fatigue response and the required binder content of the mixture. Fractal geometry is more suitable to describe the irregularity of the shape of aggregate particles. This paper describes the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 7 · 13 Jul 2016 · 7,184 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCalculating Curved Needles Deformation in Automated High-Dose Rate Brachytherapy OperationsNikolai A. Gryaznov, Olga V. Velichko, Konstantin Yu. Senchik et al.The article outlines the approach to applying the mechatronic technologies and robotic systems in carrying out the brachytherapy operations. To calculate the elastic state of the flexible needles of different geometry in the prostate model, a mathematical model of the flexible needle deformation has been applied which took into account the medium reaction and was based on the theory of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 30 Mar 2016 · 7,337 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn-silico Rational Protein Engineering and Design Approach to Improve Thermostability of a Haloalkane Dehalogenase EnzymeRaghunath Satpathy, V. Badireenath Konkimalla, Jagnyeswar RathaThermostability of enzymes is a major prerequisite for use in industrial enzymology. There are as such no simple general principles for achieving thermostability in case of enzymes as many factors are required to fulfil for different enzymes. The present study describes computational methods to design thermostable haloalkane dehalogenase enzyme using the crystal structure available Protein Data Bank (PDB ID: 1EDE). … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 13 Oct 2015 · 8,285 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPreliminary Studies Aimed at the Re-Opening of Pestarena Gold Mine (North-Western Alps, Italy)Andrea Giuliani, Giuseppe Mandrone, Piergiorgio RossettiGold, among all conventional metals subject to a progressive increase in value in the international market, has jumped powerfully into the spotlight during all economic crises. This contingency led to reconsider the dismissing process of some Italian mining sites and in particular at Pestarena- in the Anzasca Valley near Macugnaga (NW Alps) -the most important historical gold mine in the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 1 Sep 2015 · 7,959 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDialectic Form Finding of Structurally Integrated Adaptive StructuresL. Rhode-Barbarigos, V. Charpentier, S. Adriaenssens, O. BaverelStructural engineering, prompted by advances in mechanics and computing as well as design principles such as sustainability and resilience, is evolving towards adaptive structures. Adaptive structures are structures that use active components to change shape and properties in response to their environment and/or to their users' desires. Form-found structures, such as tensegrity and shell structures, can be designed to accommodate … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 6 Jul 2015 · 7,853 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFracture Initiation at the Zirconia/Veneer Interface-A Finite Element SimulationMirsayar M. M., A. T. SamaeiZirconia/veneer bilayered components are extensively used in dental restoration technology to improve resistance of tooth's surface from decay. The direction of the fracture propagation at the interface of zirconia and veneer is investigated in this study. Finite element analysis is performed on a bi-material four point bend specimen in different geometries and the fracture initiation angle is obtained using Maximum … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 8 Jun 2015 · 7,573 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTotal Occlusal Convergence and Margin Design in Relation to Survival of Glass-Ceramic Crowns: A ReviewJanine Tiu, J. Neil Waddell, Basil Al-Amleh, Michael V. SwainThis review aims to report on preparation geometry parameters and their relation to crown failures in complete glass-ceramic clinical studies. A review of the literature was conducted in MEDLINE/PubMed with an additional manual search. The articles were screened through an inclusion and exclusion criteria and information regarding the Total Occlusal Convergence (TOC) angle and margin design was extracted along with … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 1 Jun 2015 · 8,620 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethod of Sliding Bearings Static Characteristics CalculationVladimir Nikolaevich Beschastnyh, Pavel Viktorovich BulatThe direct problem of researching the load capacity of segment gas-static bearing is being discussed. In calculation the movement of the shaft in the bearing is considered slow comparing than the rotational velocity. Vibrations and the influence of non-stationarity are neglected. The given geometry of the bearing and the pressure of lubrication supply in the gap between the bearing and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 11 · 7 Jan 2015 · 6,516 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIMPROVED INTERACTIVE METHOD FOR RECO-VERING 2.5D MODELS FROM SINGLE IMAGESFurferi Rocco, Governi Lapo, Puggelli Luca, Yary VolpeIn the last years the development of interactive Computer-based methods for building virtual and physical 2.5D models from single shaded images faced with an exponential growth. In particular, a wide range of methods based on image processing-based procedures and on Shape From Shading (SFS) can be documented. On the basis of the most favorable techniques devised in literature, the present … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 9 Jul 2014 · 7,564 accessesView PDFCite
