Micro financing is providing financial services and resources for low-income people to improve their financial situation. In many less developed countries, providing these services for low-income classes was next to impossible due to high interest rates and heavy collaterals and guarantees that banks and other credit institutions demand. Micro financing was used since 1960s as a fundamenta...

In this paper, the free vibration analysis of sandwich micro beam with piezoelectric layers based on the modified couple stress and surface elasticity theories are investigated. The Hamilton’s principle is employed to derive the sandwich micro beam with piezoelectric based on modified couple stress theory incorporating with Gurtin- Murdoch surface theory. The generalized differential quadrature...

The objective of this paper is to control the phase shifting by applying a bias DC voltage and changing the mechanical characteristics in electrostatically-actuated micro-beams. This problem can be more useful in the design of micro-phase shifters, which has not generally been investigated their mechanical behavior. By presenting a mathematical modeling, Galerkin-based step by step linearizatio...

This paper aims to establish an Arduino and IoT-based Hierarchical Multi-Agent System (HMAS) for management of loads’ side with incentive approach in a micro-grid. In this study, the performance of the proposed algorithm in a micro-grid has been verified. The micro-grid contains a battery energy storage system (BESS) and different types of loads known as residential consumer (RC), commercial co...

This article demonstrates how motion effect can be exploited to read moving chipless radio frequency identification (RFID) tags at larger distances compared what has been reached without taking into account the movement. According Doppler effect, due time-variant behavior of tags, tag backscattered field contains components different from those that are transmitted. These motion-induced utilize...

With several years of development, micro-blog has become a very popular social networking platform since it came to our eyes. Nowadays, many enterprises and organizations have registered official micro-blogs to expand marketing activities since they realized the importance of micro-blogging word of mouth. However, the micro-blogging influence of different official micro-blogs varies, which has ...

gyroscopes are used as rotation rate sensors. conventional gyroscopes are heavy and bulky, which creates important problems regarding their usage in different applications. micro-gyroscopes have solved these problems due to their small size. the beam micro-gyroscope is one of the popular types of inertial sensors. their small dimensions and low energy consumption are key reasons for their popul...
