Imaging techniques based on Soft Computing (SC) and developed at Kennedy Space Center (KSC) have been implemented on a variety of prototype applications related to the safety operation of the Space Shuttle during the liftoff process. These SC-based prototype applications include detection and tracking of moving Foreign Object Debris (FOD) during the Space Shuttle liftoff, visual anomaly detecti...

objective(s)previous studies have shown that vitamin b as well as folate supplementation has been implicated in cognitive and neurodegenerative disorders including alzheimer’s and parkinson's diseases. the aim of present study was to evaluate the effects of folic acid on passive avoidance task and motor coordination in healthy adult male rats.materials and methodsanimals were randomly divi...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between performance on the shuttle walking test and maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) during a conventional treadmill test in patients with chronic airflow limitation. Two different techniques were used to measure oxygen consumption, i.e. conventional Douglas bag techniques (treadmill test) and a portable oxygen consumption meter (shutt...

We have studied the rectified current in a geometrically symmetric nano-electromechanical shuttle with periodic kicks and sinusoidal ac bias voltages. The is exactly zero under geometrical symmetry which generated by electrons transferred from source to drain electrodes through movable shuttle. investigate nonzero currents regular motion of time-translational broken. shuttle, moreover, becomes ...
