Technical ReportOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Magnetic Wheel Adhesion Force for Climbing RobotHaydn Welch, Shyamal MondalThis paper describes the aim of designing, building and testing magnetic wheel based an autonomous climbing robot, for use in conjunction with Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) inspection on vertical towers. Through extensive review of previous generations of climbing robot, a hybrid wheel and permanent magnetic adhesion system has been designed and discussed in this paper. Using mathematical modelling and Finite Element … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Aug 2019 · 8,283 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpeech Enhancement Based on Adaptive Noise Cancellation and Particle Swarm OptimizationTayseer M.F. Taha, Summrina Kanwal Wajid, Amir HussainSpeech enhancement is used in almost all modern communication systems. This is due to the quality of speech being degraded by environmental interference factors, such as: Acoustic additive noise, acoustic reverberation or white Gaussian noise. This paper, explores the potential of different benchmark optimization techniques for enhancing the speech signal. This is accomplished by fine tuning filter coefficients using a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 5 · 28 May 2019 · 7,729 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of the Earth's Surface State by Unsupervised Classification: Case of Vegetated, Aquatic and Mineral SurfacesJean-Claude Okaingni, Sié Ouattara, Adles Kouassi, Alain ClémentIn this study, we propose an unsupervised classification scheme based on the Dempster-Shafer Theory (TDS) and the Dezert-Smarandache Theory (DSmT) to characterize vegetated, aquatic and mineral surfaces. From pre-processed ASTER satellite images (georeferencing, geometric correction and 15 m re-sampling), neo-channels were produced by determining the spectral indices NDVI, MNDWI and NDBaI, considered as sources of information for classification of a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 7 · 27 Aug 2018 · 8,176 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Sybil and Wormhole Attacks in Location Based Geographic Multicast Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor NetworksShyamala Ramachandran, Valli ShanmuganProblem statement: Wireless sensor networks have been used in many applications, such as home automation, military surveillances and entity tracking systems. The sensor nodes have low computational capabilities and are highly resource constrained. Routing protocols of wireless sensor networks are prone to various routing attacks, such as black hole, rushing, wormhole, Sybil and denial of service attacks. Approach: The objective … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 28 Jun 2011 · 6,982 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOpiates Upregulate Adhesion Molecule Expression in Brain MicroVascular Endothelial Cells (BMVEC): Implications for Altered Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) PermeabilityMadhavan P.N. Nair, Supriya D. Mahajan, Jessica L. ReynoldsThe blood-brain barrier (BBB) is an intricate cellular system composed of vascular endothelial cells and perivascular astrocytes that restrict the passage of immunocompetent cells into the central nervous system (CNS). Expression of the adhesion molecules, intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) on brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMVEC) and their interaction with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,610 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling Hepatocellular Toxicity of Enavatuzumab, a Humanized Anti-TweakR AntibodyDonghee Choi, Yanhong Zhu, Debra Tien Chao et al.In a Phase 1 clinical study, treatment with enavatuzumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody to TweakR, resulted in liver toxicity in a subset of patients. The objective of this current study was to evaluate the ability of preclinical studies to predict liver toxicity in humans. Enavatuzumab was evaluated in cynomolgus monkeys, where serum liver enzyme and cytokine levels were measured and … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 9 Nov 2017 · 7,719 accessesView PDFCite
HypothesisOpen accessIn the abstractSequences for Determination of Prime Numbers by Elimination of CompositesJonathan M. Dugas, Brian M. O’ConnorIn this study, sequences are used for direct computation of prime numbers. A single equation for generating all prime numbers with the exception of 2 and 3 and composite numbers that are not divisible by 2 or 3 is presented. A periodicity to the indices of the composites generated by that equation is determined. An equation to determine the indices … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 20 Jul 2017 · 8,042 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStiffened Panels Damage Tolerance Determination using an Optimization Procedure based on a Linear Delamination Growth ApproachAniello Riccio, Francesco Di Caprio, Francesco Scaramuzzino et al.The damage tolerance of delaminated composite panels under compressive load is usually numerically evaluated by means of computationally expensive non-linear approaches. In this study, an alternative numerical linear approach, able to mimic the delamination propagation initiation, is proposed. With the aim to exploit its benefits, in terms of computational costs reduction, the proposed linear methodology has been used in this … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2016 · 7,298 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTechnique for In-Vivo Measurements of Heart Deformation Using Digital Image CorrelationRonald B. Bucinell, Matthew T. Adams, Mcolisi Dlamini, Leo J. FleishmanMany techniques used to measure the deformation of biological tissue are inadequate for measuring deformations of hearts in vivo. Bull Frogs (Rana Catesbeiana) were double-pithed and dissected to expose the amphibian heart for the measurements conducted in this study. White titanium dioxide powder and black charcoal were applied to the surface of the heart to create an artificial surface pattern … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 14 Dec 2016 · 7,947 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCognitive Mechanism of Metaphorization in Zoological TermsZifa Kakbaevna Temirgazina, Uldanai Maksutovna Bakhtikireeva, Vladimir Pavlovich Sinyachkin, Marzhan Kasymovna AkoshevaTerminology of any science, as a result of verbalized scientific expertise, is formed in conjunction with the ordinary consciousness of native speakers. Metaphor in a particular scientific zoological discourse in the Russian and Kazakh languages has not become the object of researchers' attention yet. The comparison of the results of the cognitive mechanism of analogy in the zoological discourse in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 12 · 13 Dec 2016 · 7,538 accessesView PDFCite
