In robotics, Air Muscle is used as the analogy of the biological motor for locomotion or manipulation. It has advantages like the passive Damping, good power-weight ratio and usage in rough environments. An experimental test set up is designed to test both contraction and volume trapped in Air Muscle. This paper gives the characteristics of Air Muscle in terms of contraction of Air Muscle with ...

Alves Redol, 9, 1000-029 Lisboa, Portugal Email: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract— This paper presents a detailed comparison analysis of several fast adder architectures for high performance VLSI design. The evaluation of those architectures is firs...

In this paper, we describe how motile microorganisms can be integrated with engineered microstructures to develop a micro-bio-robotic system. SU-8 microstructures blotted with swarmer cells of Serratia Marcescens in a monolayer are propelled by the bacteria in the absence of any environmental stimulus. We call such microstructures with bacteria MicroBioRobots (MBRs) and the uncontrolled motion ...

in this study, decolorization of the diazo dye, reactive black 5 (rb5) in a coprinus cinereus peroxidase-catalyzed reaction has been investigated. a bisubstate kinetic model for the reaction rate based on the ping-pong mechanism was assumed for the enzymatic decolorization. experimentswere conducted at different rb5 and hydrogen peroxideconcentrations in a batch mannerto estimate the intrinsic ...

in this research paper, the performance of an air-cored axial flux permanent magnet synchronous generator is evaluated for low speed, direct drive applications using 3d finite element modeling and experimental tests. the structure of the considered machine consists of double rotor and coreless stator, which results in the absence of core losses, reduction of stator weight and elimination of cog...

In silico experimental modeling of cancer involves combining findings from biological literature with computer-based models of biological systems in order to conduct investigations of hypotheses entirely in the computer laboratory. In this paper, we discuss the use of in silico modeling as a precursor to traditional clinical and laboratory research, allowing researchers to refine their experime...

Parachor based expressions (basic and mechanistic) are often used to model the experimentally observed pressure dependence of interfacial tension (IFT) behaviors of complex supercritical carbon dioxide (sc-CO2) and crude oil mixtures at elevated temperatures. However, such modeling requires various input data (e.g. compositions and densities of the equilibrium liquid and vapor phases, and molec...
