MAPs and microtubule motor proteins from the massive microtubule translocation complexes within the ovaries of hemipteran insects have been identified and characterized. Both classes of proteins have been compared with those of other systems, and the function of both in the insect ovaries is speculated upon.

One application, only in-situ soil mixing (or deep mixing method, DMM) is becoming increasingly common as an economical construction method for temporary support of deep foundation excavations and is also used in the construction of permanent retaining walls. Steel beams placed into the fresh soil/cement are generally used as the primary structural support, later supplemented with bracing or ti...

• Film formation was studied using experiments, simulations, and dimensional analyses. Circulations caused by the competition of gravity viscous forces were analyzed. Surface renewal rate super-high-viscosity liquid decreases with increasing viscosity. The scraper can limit film thickness increase surface rate. flow highly on a rotating spoked disk investigated experimentally numerically. In pr...

This paper addresses the problem of the fractional sliding mode control (FSMC) for a MEMS optical switch. The proposed scheme utilizes a fractional sliding surface to describe dynamic behavior of the system in the sliding mode stage. After a comparison with the classical integer-order counterpart, it is seen that the control system with the proposed sliding surface displays better transient per...

One of the most important challenges in nonlinear, multi-input multi-output (MIMO) and time variant systems (e.g., robot manipulator) is designing a controller with acceptable performance. This paper focused on design a new artificial non linear controller with on line tunable gain applied in the robot manipulator. The sliding mode fuzzy controller (SMFC) was designed as 7 rules Mamdani’s infer...

Underwater vehicles play an important part in military, oil and gas sector nowadays. However, the environment underwater is also not very known to men, so the underwater vehicle or robot that get sent there have to be fully autonomous in order to be able to do the mission without fail. Therefore, many research in the recent years focusing on how to improve the performance of underwater vehicle ...

Evaluation of the sliding stability concrete dams requires use numerical tools not only able to simulate coupled hydromechanical behavior but also adequately represent foundation discontinuities and specific features dam foundations. The formulation a three-dimensional (3D) small displacement finite element model based on interface elements is presented. In this model, hydraulic simulated assum...
