In this paper, a 9 degree of freedom seaweed harvester dynamical model is presented. The model presented describes the coupled dynamics of a vessel and a harvesting device, lifted by a winch, subject to sea waves disturbances. In order to find an appropriate harvesting path, which minimizes the harvester motions, the model response is simulated for different encounter angles. This 9 DOF seaweed...

Speech recognition is a basic component in several research projects nowadays. However, to understand a speech, hearing is not enough, it is sometimes necessary to see it. Indeed perspective studies proved that visual information brought by the interlocutor’s face in a degraded communication condition, contributed largely to the improvement of speechintelligibility. In fact several domains are ...

Content-based information retrieval from digital video databases and media archives is a challenging problem and is rapidly gaining widespread research and commercial interest. For a reliable retrieval and intelligent access to video programs, indexing should provide semantic descriptors. One way to include more semantic knowledge into the indexing process is to use the text embedded within ima...

BACKGROUND The interaction between follicular cells and oocyte leads to a change in gene expression involved in oocyte maturation processes. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to quantify the expression of more common genes involved in follicular growth and oocyte developmental competence. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this experimental study, the expression of genes was evaluated with qRT-...

From seeds, forms emerge, growing and evolving and interacting with each other and with their environment to produce what we see when we walk into a garden, a field or a forèst. As these plants provide resources such as fard for us to eat, timber for us to build with and fibre to clothe ourselves with, it is important to understand how they grow. Computational mortels can provide a theoretical ...

A Gram-stain-positive, strictly aerobic, rod-shaped and weakly motile bacterium, designated WS 4627(T), was isolated from a dairy product sample collected in southern Germany. Spherical to slightly ellipsoidal endospores were formed centrally or subterminally in sometimes slightly swollen sporangia. The isolate was able to grow at 8-35 °C, at pH 6.5-8.5 and with 0.5-16.5% (w/v) NaCl. The diamin...

First published May 3, 2011; doi:10.1152/physiolgenomics.00028.2011.—Hibernation as manifested in ground squirrels is arguably the most plastic and extreme of physiological phenotypes in mammals. Homeostasis is challenged by prolonged fasting accompanied by heter...

The above article published in the Journal of Intelligent & Fuzzy Systems volume 28, number 1 (2015), pages 421 to 431 has shown such strong similarities with the article by Sina Parhoudeh, A. Baziar, Alireza Mazareie and A. Kavousi-Fard entitled “A novel stochastic framework based on fuzzy cloud theory for modeling uncertainty in the micro-grids” and published in Electrical Power and Energy Sy...
