Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKinematics Model of Snake Robot Considering Snake ScaleRaisuddin Khan, M. Watanabe, A. A. ShafieProblem statement: In snake robot research, one of the most efficient forms of locomotion is the lateral undulation. However, lateral undulation, also known as serpentine locomotion, is ill-suited for narrow spaces, as the body of the snake must assume a certain amount of curvature to propel forward. Approach: To overcome the inability to adapt to narrow spaces, a novel type … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 8,130 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Damsites Groutability Using Secondary Permeability Index, Rock Classification (Case Studies)R. Ajalloeian, F. MoeinProblem statement: The dam body and foundation seepage is one of the important points in design parameters. This index is related to the permeability. There fore permeability is one of the basic parameter in design grout curtain, prevent water escape from foundation and avoid negative seepage pressure in borrow materials, so grouting is used. Grouting means injected materials like cement … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,411 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Ethical Appraisal of Hormesis: Towards a Rational Discourse on the Acceptability of Risks and BenefitsOrtwin RennIt is ethically mandated that potential beneficial aspects of low exposure to potentially hazardous material are incorporated in the risk-benefit balancing procedure. The potential harm done by pollutants does not justify the invocation of a categorical principle. Minimisation of risk is not required if health benefits are also at stake. Society needs to find an informed consent on the threshold … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,078 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Murine Charged Multivesicular Body Protein 2A, CHMP2A Interacts with the 5' and 3' Terminal Regions of Dengue Virus Complementary Minus-strand RNASuchita Chaudhry, Sathyamangalam Swaminathan, Navin KhannaDengue (DEN) viruses, of which there are four distinct serotypes (DEN-1, -2, -3 and –4), belong to the Flaviviridae family. Their ‘plus’ sense RNA genomes contain Non-Translated Regions (NTRs) at their 5’ and 3’ ends. Replication of viral genomic RNA, which takes place in close association with host cell membranes, involves the initial synthesis of the complementary minus sense RNA … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,314 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConventional Beef Cattle Farming Practices in Wolaita and Sidama, Southern EthiopiaAbenezer Wendimu, Wondimagegnehu TekalignBeef cattle farming is an integral part of livelihood for rural and urban smallholder farmers in developing countries. We aimed to describe the cattle farming practices in selected communities of Diguna Fango district, Wolaita Zone, and Sidama Region, Southern Ethiopia. Data were collected with pretested, semi-structured questionnaires applying a cross-sectional study. A stratified sampling was used to select a total … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 2 Aug 2023 · 7,148 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDoes Trichomes on the Plant Epidermic Surface Disturb Ants Locomotion?Danon Clemes Cardoso, Maykon Passos Cristiano, Lenise Cristina Moraes Vilela, Tiago de Arruda MartinsProblem Statement: Many morphological characteristics, both physical and chemical, are used in the defense against herbivores on plants. Trichomes are structures used by plants as physics defense and when associated with glands combine physics and chemistry defense. Many species of ants are herbivores and use leaves and seeds, others ants use Extra Floral Nectars as a food resource, and the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 9,350 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethodology of Compliant Mechanisms and its Current Developments in Applications: A ReviewSolehuddin Shuib, M.I.Z. Ridzwan, A. Halim KadarmanTraditional rigid-body mechanisms consist of a number of components to implement their functions. Therefore they face problems such as backlash, wear, increase in part-count, weight, assembly cost and time, regular maintenance. Reducing these problems will help in increasing mechanism performance and cost reduction. Recently, there are several examples of compliant mechanisms that have been designed and widely used in various … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,676 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBio-Inspired Materials: Exhibited Characteristics and Integration Degree in Bio-Printing OperationsAntreas KantarosIn the last decade, additive manufacturing techniques, commonly known under the term "3d printing" have seen constantly increasing use in various scientific fields. The nature of these fabrication techniques that operate under a layer-by-layer material deposition principle features several de facto advantages, compared to traditional manufacturing techniques. These advantages range from the precise attribution of pre-designed complex shapes to the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 29 Nov 2022 · 7,180 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Adaptive Procedure for the Limit Analysis of FRP Reinforced Masonry Vaults and ApplicationsAndrea Chiozzi, Gabriele Milani, Nicola Grillanda, Antonio TralliThe present paper discusses an adaptive procedure for the kinematic limit analysis of FRP reinforced masonry vaults through applications. The approach relies on a new Genetic Algorithm NURBS-based general framework, which has been recently presented by the authors. The basic idea consists into exploiting the NURBS structure of a CAD geometric 3D model of the selected reinforced masonry vault, in … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 5 Oct 2016 · 8,522 accessesView PDFCite
