Commuter railroad systems in the US employ three combinations of station platforms and car entranceways. These are high-level platforms with remotely controlled doors and level entranceway (HL-RC), low-level platforms (just above the rail) with steps and remotely controlled doors (LL-RC), and a mixture of the two platform types with a correspondingly more complex, partly manual, door and entran...

Gene expression profiling experiments provide a wealth of data for use in the analysis of the transcriptome and have yielded results that have helped in the classification of disease type and suggestions of possible biological pathways. Two major types of platforms exist, cDNA platforms where ESTs are spotted onto a glass microscope slide and oligonucleotide platforms where each gene is represe...

Due to previous publications of the author, it is already known that one-parametric self-motions of general planar Stewart Gough platforms can be classified into two so-called Darboux Mannheim (DM) types (I and II). Moreover, the author also proved the necessity of three conditions for obtaining a type II DM self-motion. Based on this result we determine in the article at hand, all general plan...

Furfural is one of the most promising chemical platforms with bright perspective with respect to the production of biobased chemicals and fuels from lignocellulosic material. Globally, the majority of this biomass derived chemical is converted into furfuryl alcohol, a building block in polymers industry. The vapor-phase hydrogenation of furfural over copper species dispersed on two types of sil...

Suction caisson is a type of floor foundation for the offshore structures that is also called suction pile, bucket foundation, suction anchor, or sometimes ridge foundation depending on its application. In two past decades, this type of foundation has been widely used around the world as the fixed offshore foundation, anchor of the floating platforms, as well as the foundation of other marine s...

recent studies show significant reduction of postural stability in transtibial amputees (ttas) especially when a perturbation is applied. however, no record has been seen on the consequences of such perturbation on the stump-socket interface pressure (ssip). our objective was to investigate whether such perturbation impose excessive pressures on the stump. we were also interested on the type of...
