Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultiaxial Fatigue Strength to Notched specimens made of 40CrMoV13.9Abedin Gagani, Raffaella Aversa, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu et al.Fatigue is a process (succession of mechanisms) which under the action of time-varying strains or deformations modifies the local properties of a material. These can lead to the formation of cracks and eventual rupture of the structure. Fatigue is in particular characterized by an extent of variation in stress which may be well below the yield strength of the material. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2016 · 8,200 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtended Kalman Filter versus Newton-Lowe's Method for Robot Pose EstimationMohammad Ehab RagabIn this work, we study the pose estimation problem of anautonomous mobile robot. Particularly, we compare the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) to Lowe's method based on the iterative Newton's method for solving a system of nonlinear equations. Although the EKF is recursive which renders it suitable for the real-time problem at hand, Lowe's method has much less dimensionality. This is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 7 · 5 Nov 2015 · 6,937 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImportance of blood gas measurements in perinatal asphyxia and alternatives to restore the acid base balance status to improve the newborn performanceH. Orozco-Gregorio, D. Mota-Rojas, M. Alonso-Spilsbury et al.Prolonged or intermittent asphyxia in utero and during farrowing weakens piglets and renders them less capable of adaptation to extrauterine life. Piglets with lesser viability at birth have increased blood pCO2 and blood lactic acid concentrations and decreased blood pH. Moreover, the ability to thermoregulate during an acute cold stress is inversely related to umbilical blood lactate concentrations. Blood gas … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,631 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWork Performance of MB Trac 900 Tractor on Mountains Terrain in TurkeyTolga Ozturk, Murat DemirThe forestry works mainly involves such various stages as growing, protection, production, wood harvesting, marketing and utilization of forest products. Wood harvesting is performed by completion of cutting, extraction and transporting stages. The most obvious feature of wood harvesting is that the operations are done under various weather conditions open in the field. The measurements and observations were made on … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2005 · 7,314 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermining Causes of Gully Erosion and Associated Rates of Change in South-East Nigeria, using a Remote Sensing and GIS MethodologySylvanus IroThe study of gully development on a regional scale is currently threatened by the intrinsic costs associated with steady field tracking and monitoring and the lack of historic measurements to perform time series analysis. The research objective is to develop a low-cost GIS and Remote Sensing methodology for monitoring and quantifying gully erosion and development over time, identifying the impact … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 5 · 22 Oct 2020 · 7,431 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAsymptotic Stability of Unicycle-Like Robots: The Bessel’s ControllerAndrés G. GarcíaAsymptotic stability of unicycle-like robots proved to be involved due to Brockett's condition. By using a smooth, time-invariant controller constructed out of Bessel’s functions, in this paper unicycle-like robots are uniformly-exponentially stabilized to the origin. The pure feedback controller obtained provides closed-form trajectories with the possibility of a simple and feasible (hardware) non-linear observer construction from posture angle measurements solely. … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 17 Jan 2020 · 7,304 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Hybrid AHP-TOPSIS Method for Ranking Human Capital Indicators by Normalized Decision MatrixAbdul Kadar Muhammad Masum, A.N.M. Rezaul Karim, Faisal Bin Al Abid et al.Human Capital or HC plays a significant role in the field of economic growth. Advancement on human capital and knowledge-based economy are of core importance for developing countries. Active representatives of capital accumulation are the people and utilizing natural resources for contributing to the socio-economic growth of the country. Evaluation of HC helps organizations to concern about their present position … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 12 · 10 Dec 2019 · 8,134 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Titanium Dioxide Self-Cleaning Coatings on Photovoltaic Modules for Soiling Related Losses ReductionAnnalisa Andaloro, Francesco FrontiniSeveral studies have assessed the influence of soiling deposition on Photovoltaic (PV) modules front-cover with regards to performance losses over time. In fact, soiling phenomena in PV systems are ascribed as responsible for medium and long-term yield reduction up to 16% over the first-year of outdoor exposure. Provided that PV technology is a low yield energy production source, maintaining module … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 5 Feb 2017 · 7,670 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Study of Particle Emissions from a Modern 5 kW Pellet StoveIgor V. Dyakov, Benjamin Bergmans, Svend Bram et al.This work is dedicated to the determination of the particle emission from a commercially available bottom feed 5 kW pellet stove. Two-stage dilution was applied to provide the operational stability and conditioning of the sample. The analysis of particle emission was performed by means of the Electrical Low Pressure Impactor with 14 stages, able to separate particles from 0.006 to … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Oct 2016 · 6,998 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractObservational Study of Wind Shear in Northeastern BrazilFernando R. Martins, André R. Gonçalves, Enio B. PereiraThe wind energy share is growing fast in Brazil and a better understanding of wind speed vertical profiles is essential for accurate power density estimates. The wind shear is highly variable in space and time, being influenced by surface layer stability. Studies concerning wind vertical profiles may have a significant contribution to the Brazilian energy sector. However, wind observational data … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 12 Mar 2016 · 8,213 accessesView PDFCite
