Systematic errors specific to a snapshot Mueller matrix polarimeter are studied. Their origins and effects are highlighted, and solutions for correction and stabilization are proposed. The different effects induced by them are evidenced by experimental results acquired with a given setup and theoretical simulations carried out for more general cases. We distinguish the errors linked to some imp...

This paper explores time-distance gait parameters across walking speeds. Our approach consists of designing an experimental setup to gather walking data at various speeds, analyzing time-distance features with respect to speeds. We explain the motivations of this study and the details of the experimental setup that allows people to walk naturally on the ground level floor and at the same time a...

a bioreactor equipped with hollow fiber microfiltration membranes was applied for wastewater treatment. removal of chemical oxygen demand (cod) and biochemical oxygen demand (bod5) was investigated. the experimental setup consisted of influent and effluent tanks, and membrane modules using polyvinyl di–fluoride (pvdf) hollow fibers. the operation program included suction and backwash steps whic...

setup of an emotion recognition or emotional speech recognition system is directly related to how emotion changes the speech features. in this research, the influence of emotion on the anger and happiness was evaluated and the results were compared with the neutral speech. so the pitch frequency and the first three formant frequencies were used. the experimental results showed that there are lo...

We propose a new educational framework for educational exploration based on conceptual networks generated and explored by students supplied with Wikipedia linkage. In the first experimental setup we had a group of students (n=103) to create high-frequency lists of words and links between words, and in the second experimental setup we had another group of students (n=49) to explore a subsection ...

For a single finite-capacity machine that can process several product types of jobs, uncertainties in job arrival time and product type can make the calculation of required setup time and the setting of output target very complicated. Setup activities may cause wastage in machine capacity and extend job lead time. In such circumstances, the family-based scheduling rule (FSR) can be used to redu...

An experimental setup was developed for statically measuring seven vertical and three horizontal reaction forces on the foot. In the setup, the leg can be simultaneously loaded (1) by a vertical force, (2) by an externally applied axial moment, and (3) by simulated muscle forces. The foot is free to invert under influence of the external loads. Statical analysis and test experiments were used f...

A better understanding of the hydrodynamics related to flooding conditions in distillation columns is required in order to provide optimised designs for new plants and plant retrofits. Current flooding prediction correlations are predominantly based on air/water systems and tend to diverge at high vapour capacities. In this work an experimental setup was designed and constructed to test the hyd...

In this work, we present a path-planning method for the Mobile Data Collector (MDC) in a wireless sensor network (WSN). In our method, a tour for the MDC is generated such that the latency of delivering data to the sink is reduced. We show that the TSP tour covers all the nodes of the WSN. However, the latency for the TSP tour may be prohibitively high for delay-sensitive real-time WSNs. We red...

A tunnel broker with the Tunnel Setup Protocol (TSP) enables the establishment of tunnels of various inner protocols, such as IPv6 or IPv4, inside various outer protocols packets, such as IPv4, IPv6, or UDP over IPv4 for IPv4 NAT traversal. The control protocol (TSP) is used by the tunnel client to negotiate the tunnel with the broker. A mobile node implementing TSP can be connected to both IPv...
