The ever-increasing quantities of structured knowledge on the Web and the impending need of multilinguality and cross-linguality for information access pose new challenges but at the same time open up new opportunities for knowledge extraction research. In this regard, cross-lingual semantic annotation has emerged as a topic of major interest and it is essential to build tools that can link wor...

Pedestrian disability and fatality as a consequence of car crashes is a large global health problem. To introduce maximally effective car-based countermeasures it is important to understand which injuries are most common and from which car parts they originate. It is also important to focus on the most severe injuries resulting in disability or death. The aim of this thesis was therefore to det...

In this paper we attempt to analyze and simulate the windshield wiper mechanisms, using the multibody systems software ADAMS. The design algorithm involves three mechanical models: kinematic model – to performe the positional analysis of the wiper system, inverse dynamic model – to determine the torque applied to the motor crank in order to generate the kinematically-prescribed behavior, and dy...

Abstract The dynamics of the installation process marine risers subjected to shoal/deep seawater is studied. riser assumed be a cantilevered Euler‒Bernoulli beam. upper end clamped on vessel or drilling platform. lower connected Blowout Preventer Stack (BOPs) and Lower Marine Risers Package (LMRP). lateral fluid forces induced by sea wave current are introduced into governing equations motion. ...
