Axial Flux Permanent Magnet (AFPM) machines are attractive candidates for Electric Vehicles (EVs) applications due to their axial compact structure, high efficiency, high power and torque density. This paper presents general design characteristics of AFPM machines. Moreover, torque density of the machine which is selected as main objective function, is enhanced by using Genetic Algorithm (GA) a...

  Background:Confirmation of olive oil authenticity and particularly virgin olive oil has a great importance. Several advanced chemical and genetic analyses have been used to monitor especial components; however each has its limitations especially when detecting hazelnut-adulterated olive oil. Objectives:The objective of this research is to assess the presence of trace amoun...

A broad range of foods have been described as causing allergies, but the majority of allergic reactions can be ascribed to a limited number of food components. Recent extensive surveys showed how tree nuts, particularly hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) seeds, rank amongst the most important sources of food allergy. In order to protect the allergic consumer, efficient and reliable methods are requ...

This paper focuses on the generation of dynamic models for an articulated forestry machine. Such models can be used for training simulators, for sizing components, and for control. The most complex model includes base compliance, and pendulum-like motions of the processing head suspended from an end-point. A Newton-Euler iterative method, implemented symbolically, is used to include base degree...

Guilan Province is the biggest hazelnut producer in Iran. Over 70% of hazelnut production cost is due to its manual harvesting. Therefore, study on all aspects of its cultivation mechanization is necessary to sustain its production. This study focused on identifying factors that affect the development of hazelnut harvesting mechanization in Guilan Province, Iran, using a three-round Delphi tech...

This paper focuses on the generation of dynamic models for an electrohydraulic forestry machine. Such models can be used for training simulators, for sizing components, and for system design. The most complex model includes base compliance, and pendulum-like motions of the processing head suspended from an end-point. A NewtonEuler iterative method, implemented symbolically, is used to include b...
