In the paper, a mathematical model assembling a "driver-mobile vehicle-road environment" system and capable of simulating the process of mobile vehicles skid in traction movement mode is proposed. The usage of non-linear drift models allows the development of efficient algorithms for mobile vehicles dynamic stabilization systems. INTRODUCTION The traction loss between the vehicle and the road a...

The Cryogenic Carbon CaptureTM (CCC) process is a retrofit, post-combustion technology that desublimates CO2 in the flue gas, separates the resulting solid from the remaining light gases, pressurizes the solid CO2, melts the CO2 and warms the light gas, and completes the CO2 pressurization with liquid CO2. This skid-scale CCC system has demonstrated successful carbon capture of 90–99% from simu...

In this paper motion analysis on a winding stair-climbing is investigated using our proposed rotational arm type of robotic wheelchair. For now, the robotic wheelchair is operated in an open mode to climb winding stairs by a dynamic turning, therefore, the dynamics model is required to ensure a passenger’s safety. Equations of motion based on the skid-steering analysis are developed for the tra...

Data centric analysis using direct measurements has been established as a successful performance analysis technique. The information gathered with this technique can be used to address data locality problems and other issues. Existing approaches rely on special hardware support which is needed to negate a ‘skid’ factor. Our approach is viable on hardware where the skid factor is an issue. Prior...

The tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a potent inducer of apoptosis in many cancer cells. However, a significant proportion of tumours are TRAIL-resistant erecting a major hurdle for a successful TRAIL-based treatment regimen in the future. In this context, it would be a major advantage to be able to identify the tumours that respond to TRAIL. The existence of ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to investigate the utility of an internet-based version of the trail making test (TMT) to predict performance on a speech-in-noise perception task. DESIGN Data were taken from a sample of 1509 listeners between ages 18 and 91 years old. Participants completed computerized versions of the TMT and an adaptive speech-in-noise recognition test. All testing was c...

Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), a member of TNF family, is an interesting ligand which selectively induces apoptosis in tumor cells and, therefore, it has been developed for cancer therapy. This ligand has been produced by various hosts such as E.coli. However, protein expression in E.coli cytoplasm leads to problems such as incorrect folding, reduction in biolo...

molecular farming has been considered as a secure and economical approach for production of biopharmaceuticals. human tnf related apoptosis inducing ligand (trail) as a promising biopharmaceutical candidate has been produced in different expression hosts. however, little attention has been paid to molecular farming of the trail in spite of numerous advantages of plant expression systems. theref...
