Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdvantage of Classical Approximate Analytical Methods for Studying Rydberg States Over the Quantum CounterpartsEugene OksIn studies of atomic and molecular systems, approximate analytical methods play a significant role. This is because they can be used for benchmarking the results of numerical methods. Besides they offer a physical insight into the phenomena under consideration an insight impossible to achieve by numerical methods. Many approximate analytical methods were developed in such a way that each method … …Physics International, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 2 Jul 2024 · 8,007 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTime FactoryRelly Victoria Virgil PetrescuHave you asked yourself how you will look over 15 years? At the Bosch factory in Jucu, we saw a time machine that can help you to travel for 15 years in the future. And the technologies used seem to have come from the reality of the next decades. This "time machine" is, in fact, part of Bosch's Engineering, Quality … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 27 Apr 2019 · 6,607 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSerial, Anthropomorphic, Spatial, Mechatronic Systems can be Studied More Simply in a PlanRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella et al.The mobile, mechatronic, robotic, serial, spatial, anthropomorphic type systems, which are currently the most used in the machine building industry, can be studied much more simply in a plan instead of the usual spatial study. This not only simplifies the understanding of these systems (including from a didactic point of view) but also facilitates computational methods, moving from matrix analytical … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 20 Dec 2017 · 6,441 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeorge (Gogu) ConstantinescuRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella et al.George (Gogu) Constantinescu (October 4, 1891 - December 11, 1965) was a Romanian scientist and engineer, often considered to be one of the most important Romanian engineers. He was responsible for creating a new field of mechanics, called "sonicity," which describes the transmission of energy through vibrations in fluid or solid bodies. He applied the new theory to numerous inventions: … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 5 Dec 2017 · 8,571 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Approach to Model Concentrating PV Cells Under Non-Uniform IlluminationHang Zhou, Yuehong Su, Gang Pei et al.Concentrating PV (CPV) cells are often designed optimally depending on solar concentrator characteristics and operating conditions to ensure the best system performance. Before reaching a PV cell, solar radiation may experience some optical losses caused by the different physical phenomena occurring in a solar concentrator. A particular issue with the CPV technology is the non-uniformity of the concentrated radiation, which … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 30 Aug 2017 · 7,137 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractChasing the Fat Demon: Fat Chance, Buddy?David L. Katz, Joachim Storsberg, Christian SchmidtScience is an interesting profession. At times, one could get caught up in his or her own world of thoughts, perception, far away from reality, sometimes referred to as the proverbial ivory tower (Lederberg, 1972). Science for the sake of science is, per se, not without merit, with our fragmented understanding of a given issue providing ample justification for experimentation … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 29 May 2017 · 8,134 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractAn Opportunity for the Agricultural Sector: The Renewable Energy SourcesRiccardo Testa, Salvatore TudiscaToday, among the most important issue for energy decisions by policymakers, there are security challenges and environmental impacts on climate change and economic aspects. Since the seventies, in fact, global warming and environmental issues have had an increasing importance in international debate, attracting the attention of several scientific studies (Landi and Benelli, 2016). Many of these studies denoted that over … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 6 Sep 2016 · 8,092 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCosmological Data Could have a microscopic, not Macroscopic, CauseEmmanuil ManousosA slight continuous increase of the rest masses and the electric charges of material particles can justify quantum phenomena and the cosmological data. This increase can only occur in a strictly defined way: the law of selfvariations. The law of selfvariations condenses into one equation the totality of the cosmological data, as we observe them from the time of Hubble … …Space Science International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 20 Jun 2013 · 7,740 accessesView PDFCite
