Collagen plays a fundamental role in all known metazoans. In collagens three polypeptides form a unique triple-helical structure with a one-residue stagger to fit every third glycine residue in the inner core without disturbing the poly-proline type II helical conformation of each chain. There are homo- and hetero-trimeric types of collagen consisting of one, two or three distinct chains. Thus ...

The Axial compressor is an integrated part of a gas turbine. The central part of compressors is its blades. Blade aerodynamic has a significant effect on compressor performance. Because of the adverse pressure gradient in the compressor, any deviation in the blade profile has a significant influence on the flow field as well as the compressor performance. During the manufacturing and operation ...

Manufacturing variabilities can significantly affect a turbine bladerow's performance. With the push for turbine's efficiency and reliability more than ever, understanding of manufacturing variability impacts is sought after. It has been shown that multi-passage simulation domain required to capture interaction among varied blades. This challenge conventional single-passage methods, largely due...

This paper presents a new feature set for the problem of recognizing pulse 10 repetition interval (PRI) modulation patterns. The recognition is based upon the features 11 extracted from the multiresolution decomposition of different types of PRI modulated 12 sequences. Special emphasis is placed on the recognition of jittered and stagger type PRI 13 sequences due to the fact that these types of...

Transmission System Operators (TSOs) are currently experiencing a voltage rise problem on their network, especially during the periods of low demands. It is costly to mitigate the excessive voltages by installing reactors or Var compensators in transmission network. Recently, an alternative method of utilising the existing parallel transformers of distribution network is proposed. It uses a tap...

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of symmetric and asymmetric foot placements on joint moments during sit-to-stand movements. Three symmetric (foot-neutral, foot-back, and foot-intermediate) and three asymmetric foot placements (preferred stagger, nonpreferred stagger, and intermediate stagger) were tested. Standard (46 cm) and low (41 cm) seat heights were chosen to repres...
