This paper presents a servo-based Four-Legged robot – named AIMEE – for the RoboCup Rescue competition (see [1] for details). The robot is described with regard to the mechanics which are based on a very modular construction kit, the electronics based on a custom-made MPC 565 microcontroller board, and a software concept using a new behavior-based microkernel. The bio-inspired control approach ...

Plankton research has always been an important area of biology. Due to various environmental issues and other research interests, plankton hatching and harnessing has been extremely red-marked zone for bio-aqua scientists recently. To counter this problem, no wireless sensor assisted technique or mechanism has yet not been devised. In this literature, we propose a novel approach to pursue this ...

One of the most important methods to investigate heavy metals as pollutants is more likely to use bio-monitors which can be applied as an appropriate index to express the quality of environment. In current study, in order to investigate the effects of dominant plants in the desired region and role of aquatic macrophytes in monitoring such elements as zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), copper (Cu) and cadmiu...

having competence employees has been considered as a competitive advantage by a lot of successful companies. therefore, they expend a lot of money for employment, preservation and promotion of their personnel. one of the most important methods for achieving this goal is training people constantly to make them familiar with new work methods and procedures and encourage them to create new methods...

In today’s competitive world, there are several strategies to deal with the fast changing environment, among which New product development (NPD) is a common strategy. However, almost half of the resources that companies devote to NPD are spent on products that may fail. This issue is particularly highlighted in the pharmaceutical industry mainly because of a long development-time, low success r...
