Measurement of the values of forces in tractor arms is of great importance due to draft of agricultural equipment. These values can be used for testing and evaluation of the agricultural machinery, selection of suitable tractor, etc. The tools which are used for measurement of the forces are called dynamometer. The main objective of the present study was to design and evaluate a load cell for i...

This study investigated the status of mechanized power and self-propelled rice cultivation machinery in Guilan Province in northern Iran. The raw data was obtained from 2013 statistics of the Agricultural Jihad Organization of Guilan province. Power per unit of area, mechanization level, area per unit of self-propelled machinery, and mechanization requirement were calculated for eastern, wester...

Although maximum mutual information (MMI) training has been used for hidden Markov model (HMM) parameter estimation for more than twenty years ([2], [8], [5], [9], and [14]), it has recently become an essential part of the acoustic modeling repertoire thanks to the refinements introduced by Woodland and Povey ([16] and [11]). The earliest incarnations of MMI worked well on small vocabulary task...

Competition among companies is growing globally, with the need to increase productivity and efficiency in product sector. However, there also a concern about global warming depletion of natural resources, as well their effects on human health. In this context, all activities that involve intense usage resources must take into account sustainability one decision criteria. This work presents appl...

Autophagy, an intrinsically nonselective process, can also target selective cargo for degradation. The mechanism of selective peroxisome turnover by autophagy-related processes (pexophagy), termed micropexophagy and macropexophagy, is unknown. We show how a Pichia pastoris protein, PpAtg30, mediates peroxisome selection during pexophagy. It is necessary for pexophagy, but not for other selectiv...

Rotating machinery is the most common machinery in industry. The root of the faults in rotating machinery is often faulty rolling element bearings. This paper presents a technique using optimized artificial neural network by the Bees Algorithm for automated diagnosis of localized faults in rolling element bearings. The inputs of this technique are a number of features (maximum likelihood estima...
