Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of the Texas Feed Yard Workforce: Survey of Stockperson Attitudes and Perceptions towards Euthanasia, Animal Care and Employee ValueEmily E. Ridge, Ron Gill, Courtney L. DaigleA survey was administered to Texas cattle feedyard employees (n =111) from 31 different operations measuring stockperson perception, job satisfaction and socioeconomic status using Likert statements and multiple-choice questions. Differences among employment roles (manager, pen rider, processor (those who vaccinate and implant incoming calves), doctor (non-veterinarians)) were evaluated using a Kruskal-Wallis test followed by a Multiple Comparison procedure. Managers strongly … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 28 May 2019 · 7,745 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Photovoltaic/Thermal (HPV/T) Systems: From Theory to ApplicationsErdem Cuce, Erman Kadir Oztekin, Pinar Mert CuceHybrid photovoltaic/ thermal systems are very promising clean energy harvesting devices where they can be used either standalone system or can be incorporated with other systems. In this study, historical developments leading to current Hybrid Photovoltaic/Thermal (HPV/T) systems as it is used today and global findings to enhance the performance of HPV/T system through state-of-the-art analyses are presented in a … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 29 Jun 2018 · 7,871 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructural-Topological Synthesis of Planar Mechanisms with Rods and WheelsNicolae Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella, Relly Victoria V. PetrescuToday, robots are increasingly present in the machine building industry, sometimes even in some sections to replace workers altogether, due to the high quality of their work, repetitive, without stopping or pausing, without any manufacturing and assembly scuffs. Additionally, robots do not get sick, do not require medical leave or rest, work faster and better than humans and also support … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 25 Jun 2018 · 6,638 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractElementary Structure of Matter can be Studied with New Quantum ComputersNicolae Petrescu, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuMuch has been talked about quantum computers. Today they are working on difficult simulations, so we can already congratulate the college of researchers at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory as the world's first to successfully simulate an atomic nucleus using a quantum computer. The results that were published in the physical examination letters demonstrate the huge capacity of quantum systems … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2018 · 7,698 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Kinematics of the Plan Balanced Chain at the Planar Module 3RRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuAnthropomorphic robots are, as I have already said, in most of the most widespread and widely used works worldwide today, due to their ability to adapt quickly to forced work, working without breaks or breaks 24 h a day, without unpaid leave without asking for food, water, air, or salary. Anthropomorphic robots are supple, elegant, easy to configure and adapted … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 8 Mar 2018 · 6,940 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSwitching from Flat to Spatial Motion to 3R Mechatronic SystemsRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThe anthropomorphic robots are part of the classical series of mechatronic systems, being in the form of arms and having at least three space rotation, to which other components may eventually be added, thus lengthening the entire kinematic chain. You can also add all the planetary or spatial rotating arms or others that are translating. At the end we always … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 22 Jan 2018 · 7,427 accessesView PDFCite
