Coriolis mass flow meters are one of the most accurate tools to measure the mass flow in the industry. However, two-phase mode (gas-liquid) may cause severe operating difficulties as well as decreasing certitude in measurement. This paper presents a method based on fuzzy systems to correct the error and improve the reliability of these sensors in the presence of two-phase model fluid. Definite ...

The primary function of a suspension system of a vehicle is to isolate the road excitations experienced by the tires from being transmitted to the passengers. In this paper, we formulate an optimal vehicle suspension design problem with the quarter-car vehicle dynamic model. A new multi-objective genetic algorithm is used for Pareto optimization of a two-degree of freedom vehicle vibration mode...

the present research proposes and optimizes the performance of a novel solar-driven combined cooling, heating, and power (cchp) kalina system for two seasons—winter and summer—based on exergy, exergo-economic, and exergo-environmental concepts applying a non-dominated sort genetic algorithm-ii (nsga-ii) technique. three criteria, i.e. daily exergy efficiency, total product cost rate, and total ...

the pressure drop of refrigerant r-134a flow boiling inside a horizontal tube has been investigated experimentally. the test set-up which was used in this investigation is a well instrumented vapor compression refrigeration system. these instruments are thermocouples, flow meter, pressure gauges and the pressure drop measuring apparatus. this system consisted of three electrically heated evapor...

In this research, Generalized Predictivecontrol (GPC) is proposed for the control of a stabilizing loop from a two axis gimbal seeker. In fact, there are some views about using GPC type controller which are two folds. First, it drives the stabilization loops that are made by a DC motor, Rate Gyro, inertia and cross coupling unit in between two channels using the predictive model type controller...

nowadays, environment-sensitive smart drug delivery systems have found diverse applications in pharmaceutical science and technology. these systems can respond to the environment stimuli such as temperature, pressure, ph, light, electrical and magnetical fields and etc. they can release the proper amount of drug in human body. among these systems, special attention and much research works have ...

A highly enriched fraction of the transcriptionally active chromosome from chloroplasts of spinach (Spinacia oleracea) was analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry to identify proteins involved in structuring of the nucleoid core. Among such plastid nucleoid-associated candidate proteins a 12-kD SWIB (SWI/SNF complex B) domain-containing protein was identified. It b...

We investigated the interaction of Rice grassy stunt tenuivirus (RGSV) nonstructural protein p5, a protein of 22 kDa encoded on vRNA 5, with all 12 RGSV proteins by using a GAL4 transcription activator-based yeast two-hybrid system. The p5 protein interacted only with itself and not with any other viral protein; the interacting domains were localized within the N-terminal 96 amino acids of p5. ...
