Efflux time measurements are carried out for gravity draining of a liquid from a large cylindrical tank (where the flow is essentially laminar) through single exit pipe in the absence and presence of Cetyl Pyridinium Chloride (CPC) surfactant solutions. The variables considered are initial height of liquid in the tank, dia. of tank, length of the exit pipe and concentration of surfactant. T...

introduction: an overlooked but important part of successful root canal treatment is a straight-line access (sla). the purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the efficacy of introfile and prerace rotary instruments with gates glidden (gg) drills in gaining sla by cone-beam computed tomography (cbct). methods and materials: a total of forty five extracted mandibular first molars were sele...

tthe uncertainty estimation and compensation are challenging problems for the robust control of robot manipulators which are complex systems. this paper presents a novel decentralized model-free robust controller for electrically driven robot manipulators. as a novelty, the proposed controller employs a simple gaussian radial-basis-function network as an uncertainty estimator. the proposed netw...

As products become service platforms, customers purchase both products and their associated services. Service attributes affect product choices, and product choices affect to service demand and profit during the products life cycle. Enterprises offering such product service systems (PSS) must co-design products and services to maximize overall profit. This paper proposes an Enterprise-driven Pr...
