Implementation of new spine stabilisation systems should be preceded by the analysis of the behaviour of healthy and damaged spine under laboratory conditions. Research was performed on two-part and three-part segments without damage and with disc damage in the two-part segment, and with a wedge cut in the vertebra in the three-part segment. In the two-part segment, a relative power necessary f...

in order to determine cardinal temperatures and some germination characteristics for type one seed (upper segment) and type two seed (lower segment) of rapistrum rugosum, an experiment was conducted on two type seed and10 levels of temperatures (3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45 °c) in completely randomized design with four replications in factorial experimental arrangement in weeds resea...

in this paper, we present a new brain tissue segmentation method based on a hybrid hierarchical approach that combines a brain atlas as a priori information and a least-square support vector machine (ls-svm). the method consists of three steps. in the first two steps, the skull is removed and cerebrospinal fluid (csf) is extracted. these two steps are performed using the fast toolbox (fmrib's a...

This paper presents analysis and comparative study of a novel high-torque three-phase switched reluctance motor (SRM) with magnetically isolated stator segments. In the proposed SRM, each segment has a concentric winding located on the center body of it and two diametrically opposite windings which form the motor phase. There are four salient poles in the stator segment. Two of them share their...
