Abstract An effective in vitro propagation protocol was designed for Lavandula angustifolia Miller, a medicinal aromatic plant that is a prominent source of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Murashige and Skoog media were supplemented with various concentrations of Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs), and the growth parameters of the nodal segments were examined. Nodal explants formed callus when they were supplemented with 2 mg/L of 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP). The superior hormonal concentration of Murashige and Skoog (MS) media for the proliferation of shoots from callus cultures (39.33%) was 5 mg/L of 2-Isopentenyl adenine (2iP), and the favorable media for the growth… More >

Abstract IIF (Indirect Immune Florescence) has gained much attention recently due to its importance in medical sciences. The primary purpose of this work is to highlight a step-by-step methodology for detecting autoimmune diseases. The use of IIF for detecting autoimmune diseases is widespread in different medical areas. Nearly 80 different types of autoimmune diseases have existed in various body parts. The IIF has been used for image classification in both ways, manually and by using the Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) system. The data scientists conducted various research works using an automatic CAD system with low accuracy. The… More >

Abstract This paper presents an accurate and efficient indirect boundary element method (IBEM) accelerated by the fast multipole algorithm (FMA)for the design sensitivity analysis of large-scale thin-body acoustic problems above an infinite impedance plane. The non-uniqueness issue of the IBEM in solving exterior acoustic problems is avoided by applying a hybrid combination of single- and double-layer potentials. The half-space impedance Green’s function which involves an image complex line source and is valid for both mass-like and spring-like impedance plane is employed to involve the sound-absorbing effect of the ground surface. Explicit evaluation formulations of the singular More >

Abstract The so-called indirect evaporative cooling technology is widely used in air conditioning applications. The thermal characterization of tube-type indirect evaporative coolers, however, still presents challenges which need to be addressed to make this technology more reliable and easy to implement. This experimental study deals with the performances of a tube-type indirect evaporative cooler based on an aluminum tube with a 10 mm diameter. In particular, the required tests were carried out considering a range of dry-bulb temperatures between 16°C and 18°C and a temperature difference between the wet-bulb and dry-bulb temperature of 2°C∼4°C. The integrated convective More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Vector control schemes have recently been used to drive linear induction motors (LIM) in high-performance applications. This trend promotes the development of precise and efficient control schemes for individual motors. This research aims to present a novel framework for speed and thrust force control of LIM using space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) inverters. The framework under consideration is developed in four stages. To begin, MATLAB Simulink was used to develop a detailed mathematical and electromechanical dynamic model. The research presents a modified SVPWM inverter control scheme. By tuning the proportional-integral (PI) controller with a… More >

Abstract The fluctuation in drying temperature influences the food products’ quality and drying time significantly during the drying process using an indirect solar dryer. One of the effective methods to reduce these variations in the temperature is based on thermal storage materials to control the drying temperature. An experimental investigation is presented in this study to evaluate the performance of an indirect solar dryer with air double pass using multiple phase change materials (PCM) as thermal storage materials. Two PCMs with different melting points are used to store the available heat energy during peak sunshine periods… More >

Abstract The quality of the drying process depends mainly on the efficient use of thermal energy. Sustainable systems based on solar energy takes a leading role in the drying of agro-products because of low operating cost. However, they are limited in use during off–sun periods. Biomass dryer is one of the simplest ways of drying because of its potential to dry products regardless of time and climate conditions. The other benefit is that crop residues could be used as fuel in these systems. However, the major limitation of the dryer is unequal drying because of poor More >

Abstract Cet article propose une méthodologie destinée à transformer une description de position exprimée dans un référentiel indirect en une position absolue dans un référentiel direct. Cette problématique nécessite une formalisation des éléments de localisation relatifs, ici sous la forme d’un modèle en triplets, utilisé ensuite comme base de référencement, et un questionnement sur la prise en compte de l’imperfection du langage naturel dans le processus de modélisation. Nous proposons de faire appel aux objets spatiaux flous et nous comparons leurs implémentations afin d’identifier l’approche la plus adaptée au contexte du secours en montagne. More >

Abstract The grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) and flatpod peavine (Lathyrus cicera L.) are the most economically important and widely cultivated Lathyrus species. However, their utilization is limited due to the presence of their endogenous toxin β-N-oxalyl-L-α, β-diaminopropionic acid (β-ODAP). Thus, a β-ODAP free variety should be developed through some plant breeding technique like either mutational breeding or genetic-manipulation. In this circumstance, the plant regeneration of Lathyrus species becomes a bottleneck. In the present study, an efficient system for in vitro regeneration of L. sativus with high β-ODAP levels, and L. cicera with low β-ODAP levels, was developed from different explants (axillary… More >

Abstract The effect of variable transverse magnetic field on steady two-dimensional indirect natural convection flow of an incompressible viscous fluid over a horizontal hot flat plate is theoretically studied. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary ones by similarity transformation and solved numerically using fourth order Runge-Kutta method with shooting technique. The results are obtained for the skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number as well as the dimensionless velocities, temperature for some values of the magnetic parameter (M) subject to either prescribed (constant or variable) surface temperature or prescribed (variable) heat flux.
