Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Modeling Approach for Collision Avoidance in Robotic SurgeryReza Ramezanifard, Javad Dargahi, Siamak Najarian, Farhad Tabatabai GhomsheWe present a new system that can be used in combination with an array of ultrasonic piezoelectric sensors and has application in surgical navigation procedures. Using the proposed assembly, the maneuverability of the surgical tools can be enhanced and the incidence of potentially damaging contact with non-target tissue can be reduced. The emphasis of our work was based on controlling … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,795 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhase Transition in Φ6 PotentialHatem WidyanScalar field theory with an asymmetric potential was studied at zero temperature and high-temperature for Φ6 potential. The equations of motion are solved numerically to obtain O(4) spherical symmetric and O(3) cylindrical symmetric bounce solutions. These solutions control the rates for tunneling from the false vacuum to the true vacuum by bubble formation. The range of validity of the thin-wall … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2006 · 6,878 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGross and Histomorphological Studies of Femoral Head Resurfacing in DogD. Sharifi, A. Razaei, D. Savadkouhi et al.The foetal skull bone as a biological graft was investigated. This study was conducted on Fifteen adult mixed - breed normal dogs 12 to 24 months with weighing 21.4=3.6 Kg .Dogs were randomly divided into 3 groups of 5 animals each. The foetal skull bone of 45 days old was collected from one pregnant bitch via cesarean method. The right … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 May 2006 · 6,690 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMedical Service of RobotsRelly Victoria Virgil PetrescuToday, robots have not only penetrated to create microchips in electronics but also in medicine, where it helps to perform difficult operations, especially where precision is needed and the size is small and any human error could be fatal to the patient. Robots assist the doctor in heart, brain, kidney operations, not to mention bone implants and repair of damaged … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 24 Apr 2019 · 7,542 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProbabilistic Seismic Hazard Deaggregation for Karaj City (Iran)Hadi JarahiIn this study the results of PSHA deaggregation for 5%-damped 0.2, 0.5, 2 and 4 s spectral accelerations, corresponding to Mean Return Periods (MRPs) of 50 and 475 yr for Karaj city was presented. The aim of this paper is to quantify the dominant events that have the most contribution on ground-motion exceedance from the above mentioned hazard levels. The … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 16 Jun 2016 · 8,268 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDissecting Two Approaches to Energy PricesJulius N. Esunge, Andrew Snyder-BeattieProblem statement: This research tested the viability of Geometric Brownian Motion as a stochastic model of oil prices. Approach: Using autoregressions and unit root tests, we determined that oil prices tend not to exhibit the Markov Property and thus GBM may be a problematic model. Results: Instead, oil prices seem to be mean reverting over the long run, possibly following … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 18 May 2011 · 7,100 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling and Analysis of MRR, EWR and Surface Roughness in EDM Milling through Response Surface MethodologyA.K.M. Asif Iqbal, Ahsan Ali KhanProblem statement: Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) has grown over the last few decades from a novelty to a mainstream manufacturing process. Though, EDM process is very demanding but the mechanism of the process is complex and far from completely understood. It is difficult to establish a model that can accurately predict the performance by correlating the process parameters. The optimum … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 4 Nov 2010 · 9,606 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimation of Earthquake-Induced Crest Settlements of EmbankmentsRaghvendra Singh, Debasis RoyProblem statement: Freeboard requirement, a major consideration in the design of embankment dams, is controlled to a great extent by the crest settlements during earthquakes. Approach: The parameters that influence earthquake induced crest settlement had been studied using 152 published case histories on performance of embankment dams during earthquakes. Results: Based on the results a correlation had been proposed for … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,026 accessesView PDF Cite
