objective: cell vital function has correlation with mechanical loadings that cell experiences. here, effects of in-vitro combined cyclic-static stretch on proliferation of human mesenchymal stem cell (hmsc) were evaluated. materials and methods: hmscs were cultured on gelatin coated elastic membranes, and exposed to stretch loading. four different regimes of cyclic, static, combined cyclic-sta...

In this paper, to analyze the transport of autonomous robots, an artificial Capital market is used. Capital market is considered as a pier which loading and unloading of cargo is done. Autonomous robots load and unload from the ship to the warehouse wharf or vice versa. All the robots have the ability of transporting the loads, but depending on loads and the location of unloading (or loading) a...

The management of trucks in a cross-docking platform is a process under five steps: the arrival, the control, the unloading, the transfer and finally the loading. In each of these steps, a sequence of decisions arise. To achieve an optimal and robust solutions, the interdependencies between the different planning functions should be taken into account, and scheduling decisions must be made simu...

In this paper new concepts for baggage transport to and from narrow body airplanes are presented. The concepts are simulated and applied to a part of Schiphol Airport Amsterdam. The current baggage transportation is labour intensive and bares the risk of damaging or losing bags. Moreover it is time-critical because of the tight flight schedules used. An alternative scheduling method as well as ...

This paper introduces a very simple way to evaluate low stress shearing properties of woven fabrics with the advantages of simplicity and easy accessibility. A 200-gram load is applied on small portion of the sample instead of applying the load overall width of the fabric. As a result, buckling of the fabric will happen and the loading-unloading curve will show the behavior of the fabric during...
