In this paper, a comparison concerning electric traction drives for passenger cars is given. Electric traction drives presently available on the market are analyzed and future developments are described. Two main classes of such drives are presented: centre drives (like presently known from hybrid cars) and wheel-hub drives (which are still in the research and development phase). The wheel-hub ...

The wind/wave climatology for the Arctic Seas will be developed based on altimeter observations. It will have a major scientific and applied significance as presently there is no reference climatology for this region of the ocean available. The new versions of wave models for the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas will include new physics that is already under development, and the novel physics presentl...

To study the zinc concentration differential in diabetic patients compared with non-diabetics and borderline subjects in a sample of two hundred individuals under investigation, we gathered information on history and duration of diabetes as well as type of treatment and diet. In addition, capillary blood glucose and serum zinc concentrations were measured.The serum zinc level was higher in...

In a heavily religious metropolis like Mashhad filling/enriching the female students’ leisure time is a challenge. Taking an educational-sporty approach, in the presently reported project, a sample of 250 female students from among all attending Imam Reza Schools in this city was given a questionnaire on how to enrich their leisure time. Based on the collected data, the students consider their ...

The eXtensible Tutor Architecture (XTA) was designed as a platform for creating and deploying many types of Intelligent Tutoring Systems across many different platforms. The XTA presently has support for state graph pseudo-tutors and JESS model-tracing cognitive tutors, in both a client and server context. Supported interfaces are presently Java Swing / WebStart and HTML. The XTA was designed w...

This study analyses the Russian forest biomass-based bioenergy sector. It is shown that presently – although given abundant resources – the share of heat and electricity from biomass is very minor. With the help of 2 IIASA model, future green-field bioenergy plants are identified in a geographically explicit way. Results indicate that by only using 3.3% of the total wood removals, twice as much...

Presently, main applications can be found in the automotive market segment (e.g. front and side airbag sensors, ESP respectively chassis stabilization, active suspension, roll over detection). However, low-g sensors enter also new application areas like inclinometry and vibration sensing for instance for anti-theft devices or activity monitoring for pacemaker control. Like in the microelectroni...
