Robotic service vehicles are presently seen as a viable means for performing satellite maintenance and ESA (European Space Agency) is presently investigating the possible characteristics and potential of a Geostationary Service Vehicle (GSV). A stereovision tracking system should be included in this GSV to help the operator track and capture the target satellite. This paper deals with a system,...

The company 23andMe was founded ‘‘to help people access, understand and benefit from the human genome,’’ and in turn transfer genetic information from the lab to the home (23andMe, n.d.). Their Saliva Collection Kit and Personal Genome Service (PGS) gave consumers health reports on over 200 diseases along with their ancestry information. That changed when, on November 22, 2013, the Food and Dru...

Price return and P/E are two important factors for a lot of investors based on the latest studies by researchers in Tehran Stock market; however, it is expected that the price and the variation of that affect the return and the P/E of any given market as a complicated system. The Bohmian quantum mechanics used referring to the time correlation of return and P/E of the stock market under conside...

The CCC-r chart is developed based on cumulative count of a conforming (CCC) control chart that considers the cumulative number of items inspected until observing r nonconforming ones. Typically, the samples obtained from the process are analyzed through 100% inspection to exploit the CCC-r chart. However, considering the inspection cost and time would limit its implementation. In this paper, w...

In order to analyze NMR relaxation data in terms of parameters which describe internal motion, one must first obtain a description of the overall tumbling of the macromolecule in solution. Methods currently used to estimate these global parameters may not always provide reliable estimates of their values and uncertainties. In this paper, we present a general data analysis formalism based on pro...

We study computationally the dynamics of oblate and prolate spheroidal capsules in simple shear flow with small inertia for a range of dimensionless shear rates. The capsule is modelled as a liquid droplet enclosed by a hyperelastic membrane, and its equatorial plane is initially tilted out of the plane of shear. We find, at low shear rates, the well-accepted tumbling motion is not always stabl...
