The paper presents a detailed study of certain working regimes of a TV2-117A turboshaft engine, based on practical research using experimental data following the engine run tests. The engine run tests were made into the test bench, using a hydraulic...

This paper proposes to utilize a femtosecond Maker fringe for angular measurement to expand the measurement range by using the characteristic of the multiple visible peaks in the Maker fringe. Four different z-cut nonlinear materials and three differ...

In recent years federated learning has emerged as a new paradigm for training machine learning models oriented to distributed systems. The main idea is that each node of a distributed system independently trains a model and shares only model paramete...

The analysis of immunosuppressive drugs allows the physician to monitor, and eventually correct, immunosuppressive therapy. The panel of molecules under evaluation includes cyclosporine A (CsA), tacrolimus, sirolimus, and everolimus. Initially, assay...

Purpose: To investigate the applicability of strip meniscometry tube (SMT) in the measurement of tear lactoferrin in non-obese diabetic mice (NOD). Methods: SMT (SMTube, Echo Electricity Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) and fluorescein staining tests were pe...

In this paper, ultra-wideband bandpass filters using tapered transmission line resonators are presented. The proposed filters are based on short-circuited tapered transmission line stubs. The use of tapered transmission resonators resulted in a notic...

Loss of lumbar lordosis in flatback patients leads to changes in the walking mechanism like knee flexion. Such variations in flatback patients are predicted to alter the characteristics of total knee replacement (TKR) contact, so their TKR will show...

Uncertainty quantification is an important aspect of engineering design, as manufacturing tolerances may affect the characteristics of the structure. Therefore, the quantification of these effects is indispensable for an adequate assessment of design...

Glass fiber reinforced cement (GRC) is an excellent composite for architects and engineers because it can be molded to produce laminar panels or to create complicated designs. GRC is a fine concrete reinforced with alkali-resistant glass fibers at 3&...

With the rapid development of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft, the blade design of a propeller suitable for VTOL aircraft with a wide range of operating conditions has become a challenging and popular task. This paper proposes a multi-ob...
