Prototyping is an important activity in engineering Prototype development is a good test for checking the viability of a proposed system Prototypes can also help in determining system pa rameters ranges or in designing better systems We are proposing a prototyping environment for electro mechanical systems and we chosen a link robot manipulator as an example In Designing a robot manipulator the...

introduction: in iran, the main problem in greenhouse cucumber production and post-harvest shelf life is short due to the application of traditional packaging and storage methods. this research was carried out in order to investigate on the effects of packaging type and chitosan edible coating on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of royal greenhouse cucumber during storage conditi...

The Malthus programme produces a model for the local and national level of radiotherapy demand for use by commissioners and radiotherapy service leads inEngland. The accuracy of simulation is dependent on the population cancer incidence, stage distribution and clinical decision data used by the model. In order toquantify uncertainty in the model, a global sensitivity analysis of the Mal...

Patterned three-dimensional (3D) cell culture models aim to more accurately represent the in vivo architecture of a tissue for the purposes of testing drugs, studying multicellular biology, or engineering functional tissues. However, patterning 3D multicellular structures within very soft hydrogels (<500 Pa) that mimic the physicochemical environment of many tissues remains a challenge for exis...
