he ionic conducting polymer gel film (ICPF) actuator, T which has advantages such as low driving voltage, high speed, and underwater motion, was discovered in 1992. This article presents a new actuator element using the ICPF which generates an elliptic motion, as used in ultrasonic motors, to drive objects by friction. A method of forming a pattern of ICPF on a membrane was developed for produc...

Growing science and medical technologies have produced a massive amount of knowledge on different scales biological systems. By processing various amounts data, these will increase the quality disease detection enhance usability health information The integration machine learning in computer-based diagnostic systems facilitates early diseases, enabling more productive treatments prolonged survi...

An experimental study of the upper and lower bow force limits for bowed violin strings is reported. A bowing machine was used to perform bow strokes with a real violin bow on steel D and E strings mounted on a rigid monochord and on a violin, respectively. Measurements were systematically performed for 24 values of bow force and 11 values of relative bow-bridge distance at four bow velocities (...

Dissolved oxygen is an important water quality indicator that affects the health of aquatic products in aquaculture, and its monitoring prediction are great significance. To improve accuracy dissolved series, a hybrid model based on variational mode decomposition (VMD) deep belief network (DBN) optimized by improved slime mould algorithm (SMA) proposed this paper. First, VMD used to decompose n...

This paper investigates how non-oil international organisations (NOIO) in Libyan post-crisis assess management training and development programme (MTDP) needs. The current situation of MTDP needs assessment and factors that may influence MTDP are investigated. Questionnaire was distributed to (150) managers from nineteen NOIO. We find that performance and experience were the most common MTDPNA ...
