Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Brief Tour into the History of Gravity: From Emocritus to EinsteinPanagiotis Papaspirou, Xenophon MoussasThe History of Gravity encompasses many different versions of the idea of the Gravitational interaction, which starts already from the Presocratic Atomists, continues to the doctrines of the Platonic and Neoplatonic School and of the Aristotelian School, passes through the works of John Philoponus and John Bouridan and reaches the visions of Johannes Kepler and Galileo Galilei. Then, the major … …Space Science International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 20 Jun 2013 · 15,096 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMorphological Features of Rodoretto Valley Deep-Seated Gravitational Slope DeformationsMaria Gabriella Forno, Andrea Lingua, Stefano Lo Russo, Glenda TaddiaA new, detailed survey of the Rodoretto Valley (Western Alps, Italy) has been conducted resulting in the production of a new morphological and quaternary geological map of the area. The authors used the innovative Solid (True) Ortho-Photo (STOP) technology integrated with navigation sensors (Global Navigation Satellite System-GNSS/Inertial Measurement Unit-IMU). This state-of-the-art procedure has demonstrated several operational advantages during both the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 9 Feb 2013 · 7,035 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStroke Motion Learning for a Humanoid Robotic Ping-Pong Player Using a Novel Motion Capture SystemC. H. Lai, T.I. James TsayProblem statement: Human ping-pong players determine the stroke trajectory according to their experience before the ball enters their court. However, to enable a humanoid robot to select the appropriate stroke motion based on skills learned from 3D motion, important patterns must be generated to simplify the complex 3D motion. Approach: This study developed an effective strategy for teaching ping-pong skills … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,384 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMichelson-Morley Experiment another AssessmentKoorosh ShahdaeiProblem statement: Ehrenfest paradox may be the most basic phenomenon in relativity that has a long history marked by controversy, which still gets different interpretations by researches. This assessment is about another paradox in special relativity for observers in none inertial frame that perceiving Galilean transformation. Approach: This assessment reevaluates Michelson and Morley's famous experiment and Lorentz transformation by comparing … …Physics International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,011 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMiniature-Autopilot Evaluation SystemKamal Ali, Lamarious CarterThis research describes a Hardware in the Loop Simulator (HILS) that was developed to enhance the quality of attitude data received from autopilots. The described system aided in adjusting the contribution of individual IMU sensors and thereby improved the accuracy of IMU data. The HILS system outlined in this research is a gimbaled platform equipped with four stepper motors and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 6,949 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLow Cost Long Distance Detector for Explosives and Chemical Analysis by IEC ApplicationGeorge H. Miley, Heinrich Hora, Frederick Osman et al.A radiation source for detecting specific chemicals at several meter distances even behind walls, car doors or other barriers is the application of Million electron Volts (MeV) neutrons from nuclear fusion reactions at such low intensities to avoid any danger for human bodies. The chemical analysis consists in the neutron activation of nuclei emitting then gamma radiation of lines very … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2005 · 6,518 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLarge Eddy Simulation of an Ammonia JetM. Salinas-Vazquez, A. Espinosa, E. Barrios, W. VicenteA compressible jet flow of ammonia was studied through a series of Large Eddy Simulations. Simulations were focused in the zone where the inertial effects are much bigger than the gravitational ones. The ammonia jet is discharged into an air medium and the gases are treated as a two non-reactive ideal gas mixture. Different simulations were performed, going from the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 6,743 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Investigation of the Nature Properties of PlasmaPeter Evans, Frederick Osman, Heinrich HoraThis study presents the characteristics of the plasma and the effect of the laser beam to best suit the plasma model behavior. Special attention is paid to the “Genuine” Two Fluid Model and the ponder-motive and transient forces. These models are translated into a numerical study of the parameters, such as the electric field density and temperature distributions once electromagnetic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2004 · 6,568 accessesView PDFCite
