Nowadays, manufacturing companies are making great efforts to implement an effective machinery maintenance program, which provides incipient fault detection. The machine problem and its irregularity can be detected at an early stage by employing a suitable condition mon...

Abstract Increasing attention was given to building information modeling (BIM) and multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) globally due to their advantages for various stages of the life cycle of a building. The aim of this paper is to improve practitioners' understanding...

A fiber based bend sensor using a uniquely designed Bend-Sensitive Erbium Doped Fiber (BSEDF) is proposed and demonstrated. The BSEDF has two core regions, namely an undoped outer region with a diameter of about 9.38 μm encompassing a doped, inner core region with a dia...

<jats:p>Designing uplink systems which group users with adaptive interference mitigation techniques is the objective of this research. Reduction in error rates and improvement in the energy efficiency is expected with this approach in addition to spectral efficiency. Th...

The asymmetric unit of the title cocrystal, C12H10N4&amp;#183;2C7H6O2, comprises a single molecule of benzoic acid and one half-molecule of 2-pyridinealdazine situated about a centre of inversion. The carboxyl group is coplanar with the benzene ring to which it is conne...

Background: Interleukin 18 (IL-18) exerts pleiotropic roles in many inflammatory-related diseases including parasitic infection. Previous studies have demonstrated the promising therapeutic potential of modulating IL-18 bioactivity in various pathologi­cal conditions. H...

This articles deals with unsteady MHD free convection flow of blood with carbon nanotubes. The flow is over an oscillating vertical plate embedded in a porous medium. Both single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multiple-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are used with hu...

In the title 1-alkylisatin 3-thiosemicarbazone, C19H28N4OS, the imine C=N bond has a Z configuration, whereas the N&amp;#8212;N&amp;#8212;C=S unit has an E conformation. In the crystal, molecules are connected by N&amp;#8212;H...O hydrogen bonds, forming zigzag chains r...

<jats:p>Due to several aspects, such as safety, applicability, and reliability of the elderly monitoring systems, it is urgently need a testing standard for this system. Commonly, the user, especially caregivers or nurse, do not know exactly that procedure. In order to ...

Combinatorial test design is a plan of test that aims to reduce the amount of test cases systematically by choosing a subset of the test cases based on the combination of input variables. The subset covers all possible combinations of a given strength and hence tries to...
