Biopolymeric chitosan is considered a promising encapsulating agent for tex-tile applications due to its biocompatibility, lack of toxicity, antibacterial activ-ity, high availability, and low cost. After cellulose, it is ...

Discrete event simulation was used to model a population-based colorectal cancer screening program. The demand of colonoscopies, including colonoscopies after a positive fecal-occult blood test and surveillance colonoscopies ...

This paper presents experimental results for a Spatial Division Multiple Access cellular mobile communications system. The basestation antenna array testbed used to obtain the results is described in addition to sophisticated ...

In this work, a novel approach is presented to solve the trajectory tracking problem for autonomous vehicles. This method is based on the use of a cascade control where the external loop solves the position control using ...

The arbitrary Lagrangian—Eulerian (ALE) formulation, which is already well established in the hydrodynamics and fluid-structure interaction fields, is extended to materials with memory, namely, non- linear path-dependent ...

We present in this paper the main applications of data mining techniques at Electricité de France, the French national electric power company. This includes electric load curve analysis and prediction of customer ...

Objectives: In this paper, we present ProstateAnalyzer, a new web-based medical tool for prostate cancer diagnosis. ProstateAnalyzer allows the visualization and analysis of magnetic resonance images (MRI) in a single ...

Polymers, commonly known with the generic term “plastics,” are nowadays key materials in many industrial sectors and in our daily life. The word “polymer” is derived from the Greek words “polis” (many) and “meros” (part). ...
