This paper provides experimental and simulation tools to characterize a Photo-Voltaic (PV) panel. To achieve this objective, we start from a PV electrical model and we propose a circuit using Diode-based-equivalent PV (DBEPV) panel. This circuit is presented as a prototype of an equivalent PV panel. It is designed to emulate a real PV module in different climatic conditions (irradiance and temp...

Characterization and extraction of plant secondary metabolites are important in agriculture, pharmaceutical, and food industry. In this regard, the applied analytical methods are mostly costly and time-consuming; therefore, choosing a suitable approach is essential for optimum results and economic suitability. One of the recently considered methods used to characterize new types of materials is...

proteomics concerns itself with the characterization and function of all cellular proteins, the ultimate determinants of cellular function. mass spectrometry has emerged as the preferred method for in-depth characterization of the protein components of biological systems. using mass spectrometry, key insights into the composition, regulation and function of molecular complexes and pathways have...

Resonances are intrinsic characteristics of an elastic object, which are completely independent of the source of excitation. The appropriate utilization of the information contained within the resonance spectra and the identification of the resonance frequencies of the object can be used as a potent tool for material characterization. In this paper, a new mathematical model for the wave diffrac...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide a perspective of computer-aided material and process selection (MPS) software tools for product development purpose and present a practical approach for manufacturers and other decision makers involved in MPS. Design/methodology/approach – A multi-criteria deductive approach for MPS is applied to a case study by taking into account the technical...

HbbTV, an emerging standard for interactive television, is being deployed in various European countries, creating bandwidth demand for interactive services in existing saturated broadcast networks. It is a first step in the direction of TV apps, but we believe the winning technology in that area is multi-screen apps on and around the TV. In this paper, we describe the current situation with Hbb...

Early architectural design is a typical example where traditional design tools such as sketching on paper still dominate over computer-assisted tools. Augmented reality is presented as a promising approach towards developing an interaction style that preserves the naturalness of the traditional way of designing, while at the same time providing access to new media. Using the Visual Interaction ...
