cantaloupe (cucumis melo) volume was measured using water displacement and image processing methods. the volume determined from image processing method was compared to the volume determined by the water displacement method using the paired samples t-test and the bland-altman approach. the paired samples t-test results showed that the volume determined by image processing method was not signific...

The magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) material under thermal environment exhibits pyroelectric and pyromagnetic coefficients resulting in pyroeffects such as pyroelectric and pyromagnetic. The pyroelectric and pyromagnetic effects on the behavior of multiphase MEE sensors bonded on the top surface of a mild steel plate under thermal environment is presented in this paper. The aim of the study is to...

early life stress during fetal development has been hypothesized to predispose several neurological and psychiatric disorders in adulthood. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of maternal stress on the volume of granular cells, total number of dark neurons and also the distribution of glycol-conjugates and changes of terminal sugars in the dentate gyrus. pregnant sprague-daw...

IEEE 802.11 standard provides a reference design of a simple scheduler and admission control unit. The reference design is suitable for CBR traffic because a fixed TXOP is allocated to a connection during service. This paper proposes a novel scheduler for VBR traffic, where the polling list and TXOP values are dynamically updated to have multiplexing gain. Moreover, an effective admission metho...

‎in this paper we introduce a numerical approach that solves optimal control problems (ocps)‎‎using collocation methods‎. ‎this approach is based upon b-spline functions‎.‎the derivative matrices between any two families of b-spline functions are utilized to‎‎reduce the solution of ocps to the solution of nonlinear optimization problems‎.‎numerical experiments confirm our theoretical findings‎.

omotopy analysis method (ham) is a promising method for handling func-tional equations. recent publications proved the eectiveness of ham in solvingwide variety of problems in dierent elds. ham has a unique property whichmakes it superior to other analytic methods, this property is its ability to con-trol the convergence region of the solution series. in this work, we clari ed theadvantages ...
