background: deficiency of attention and concentration is one of great reasons of traffic incidents and it covers between 20 to 50 percent of events due to careless and mindedness. studies show that attention and concentration are considered as one of important cognitive components in safe driving. vibration is an important physical effect in all vehicles. till now has not been any organized stu...

co-fe films were electrodeposited on cu substrate from electrolytes with different co concentration  levels. x-ray diffraction (xrd) was used  to  investigate  the  films  crystal  structures. the  results  indicate that  if  the  co  concentration  is  less  that  the  fe  concentration,  the cubic  structure  appears  in  the  films, while  the  hexagonal  structure dominates when  the co  co...

Periodic scanning trajectories are designed with minimal harmonic content and fixed linear regions. While minimum harmonic content reduces vibration in mechanical scanners, fixed linear regions eliminate curvature in the scan area. Simulated and experimental results demonstrate less induced vibration than presently used techniques.

this paper investigates the effect of different methods of carbon nanotubes distribution in a thin matrix on static and dynamic behavior of the nanocomposite. five different symmetric patterns of distribution are considered, including four parabolic patterns and a linear one. for each pattern, the effective mechanical properties of the resultant nanocomposite are calculated using the rule of mi...

Nowadays, electromagnetic linear oscillatory actuators are used as vibration control devices because of their high controllability. However, there is a problem that thrust and vibration are small at a wide drive frequency range. In order to improve this problem, we propose a new linear oscillatory actuator that can easily change its own characteristics by using two sets of coils. Through finite...

Abstract—The effect of non-homogeneity on the free transverse vibration of thin rectangular plates of bilinearly varying thickness has been analyzed using generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method. The non-homogeneity of the plate material is assumed to arise due to linear variations in Young’s modulus and density of the plate material with the in-plane coordinates x and y . Numerical re...

In this work a classical linear harmonic oscillator, evolving during a small time interval (so that simple non-linear, second order Taylor approximation of the dynamics is satisfied) and restarting (by a mechanism) in a strictly chosen series of the time moments, is considered. It is shown that given linear oscillator behaves dynamically analogously to discrete logistic equation, which, as an e...

motion analysis and quality assessment of human sperm cell is of great importance for clinical applications of male infertility. sperm tracking is quite complex due to cell collision, occlusion and missed detection. the goal of this study is simultaneous tracking of multiple human sperm cells. in the first step in this research the frame difference algorithm is used for background subtraction. ...

this study compared the use of five different models to describe the growth from birth to 20 weeks of age of kids from both genders of nondescript goats. fifty nine (59) nondescript kids were weighed weekly at the university of maiduguri livestock teaching and research farm, nigeria and the live weights were modeled. biologically relevant variables were estimated for each kid from the logistic,...
