Rollover is one of the most dangerous events in driving Vehicles, specially the Sport Utility ones. This maneuver is the main reason for the majority of human and financial loss in transportation systems. The upcoming paper outlines the details as well as the plus points of a Fuzzy Logic Controller which is designed and simulated to reduce the rollover propensity of Vehicles, specially the ones...

Beta roll motifs are associated with several proteins secreted by the type 1 secretion system (T1SS). Located just upstream of the C-terminal T1SS secretion signal, they are believed to act as calcium-induced switches that prevent folding before secretion. Bordetella pertussis adenylate cyclase (CyaA) toxin has five blocks of beta roll motifs (or repeats-in-toxin motifs) separated by linkers. T...

We read with interest the editorial by Chung discussing advantages of radio-guided occult lesion localisation (ROLL) over other commonly used pre-operative localisation techniques for breast tumours. While the results from our audited introduction of ROLL support the conclusion that ROLL is “a simple and effective solution for guiding the excision of impalpable breast lesions”, two important dr...

Improved general slow-roll formulae giving the primordial gravitational wave spectrum are derived in the present work. Also the first and second order general slow-roll inverse formulae giving the Hubble parameter H in terms of the gravitational wave spectrum are derived. Moreover, the general slow-roll consistency condition relating the scalar and tensor spectra is obtained.

abstract background: the incidence of pregnancy induced hypertension (pih) which is one of the three main causes of maternal-neonatal morbidity and mortality is 5-7%, and prediction of this disorder is very important in maternal and neonatal health. methods: the type of this study is analytical (comparative-prospective) and its purpose is to evaluate the isometric exercise test (let) and roll-o...

an elliptical tank cross-section is formulated to explore and optimization method, based on a real-coded genetic algorithm to enhance the roll stability limit of a tank vehicle. a shape genetic algorithm optimization problem is applied to minimize the overturning moment imposed on the vehicle due to c.g. height of the liquid load, and lateral acceleration and cargo load shift . the minimization...

The scleral spur and scleral roll together form a fibrous hoop which may be detached from adjacent structures as a unit. Tensile tests of the spur-roll resemble reported data on sclera. It is proposed that the circular structure of the spur-roll prevents action of the meridional portion of the ciliary muscle on the trabecular meshwork from collapsing the canal of Schlemm.

Unilateral sternocleidomastoid muscle vibration was applied to 21 normal and six unilateral vestibular deafferented (uVD) human subjects at head erect and during 30 degrees left and right whole body roll-tilt. In normal subjects, neck vibration had no effect upon the settings of a visual bar to subjective visual horizontal (SVH) in any roll-tilt condition. In uVD subjects settings to SVH were s...

The brain integrates sensory input from the otolith organs, the semicircular canals, and the somatosensory and visual systems to determine self-orientation relative to gravity. Only the otoliths directly sense the gravito-inertial force vector and therefore provide the major input for perceiving static head-roll relative to gravity, as measured by the subjective visual vertical (SVV). Intraindi...

A computationally efficient quasi-two-degree-of-freedom (Q2DOF) stochastic model and a stability analysis of barges in random seas are presented in this paper. Based on the deterministic 2DOF coupled Roll-Heave model with highdegree polynomial approximation of restoring forces and moments developed in Part I, an attempt is made to further reduce the DOF of the model for efficient stochastic sta...
