Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleAn Application of Finite Element Modelling to Pneumatic Artificial MuscleR. Ramasamy, M. R. Juhari, M. R. Mamat et al.The purpose of this article was to introduce and to give an overview of the Pneumatic Artificial Muscles (PAMs) as a whole and to discuss its numerical modelling, using the Finite Element (FE) Method. Thus, more information to understand on its behaviour in generating force for actuation was obtained. The construction of PAMs was mainly consists of flexible, inflatable membranes … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2005 · 7,663 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsElectrical Properties of Novel Lead Zirconate/Synthetic Rubber Composite MaterialsChareumwut Pansa-Ard, Yanee Pornchaisiriarun, Nuchnapa TangboriboonProblem statement: Perovskite lead zirconate exhibits in an orthorhombic formation at a temperature below the Curie temperature, TC. Approach: The orthorhombic is non-centrosymmetric which is capable of spontaneous polarization (electronic, ionic and orientation), depending on their composition and volume fraction. Results: The results from FTIR spectroscopy, XRD patterns, and SEM indicate that the lead zirconate particles are dispersed in Acrylic … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 20 Feb 2012 · 7,589 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGenetic Diversity in Cichla monoculus (Spix and Agassiz, 1931) Populations: Implications for Management and ConservationCarlos Henrique Dos Anjos Dos Santos, Carolina Fernandes Silva De Sousa, Maria de Nazare Paula-Silva et al.Problem statement: The object of this study was to examine the genetic structure and gene flow in Cichla monoculus populations in seven varzea lakes of the Solimoes River using Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers, to monitor the region where petroleum is transported in the Amazon basin. Approach: The loss of genetic diversity is one of the main factors leading … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 30 Jan 2012 · 8,517 accessesView PDF Cite

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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Splay Leg Syndrome in Piglets: A ReviewVassilis G. PapatsirosProblem statement: The splay leg syndrome is the major congenital cause of lameness in suckling piglets. It is characterized by a temporarily impaired functionality of the hind leg muscles immediately after birth, resulting in an ability to stand and walk. Etiology and pathogenesis is complex and remain still poorly understood. Approach: The aim of the present study is to perform … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 19 Jul 2012 · 10,085 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
