This paper presents a novel vibration control technique for a pendulum via cable length manipulation.To control the sway angle by using the reeling and unreeling of the hositing cable, we develop a non-linear feedback Power Strips control scheme by utilising parametric resonance, in which the control input is defined as the acceleration of the cabl
Introduction:One of the main characteristics of cancer is uncontrolled cell proliferation as well as loss of cells adhesion in the case of metastases.Cadherins Lipstick and catenins are the molecules responsible for cell-to-cell interaction.Together, they form a complex called ECCU (E-cadherin/catenin complex) which maintains the proper tissue stru
Plants use many strategies to move efficiently in soil, such as growth from the tip, tropic movements, and morphological changes.In this paper, we propose a method to translate morphological features of Zea mays roots into a new design of soft robots that will be able to move in soil.The method relies on image processing and curve fitting technique
Objective To study the effects of Balanophora polysaccharides (BPS) on the expression of BDNF, TrkB and other apoptosis-related proteins in rats with experimental liver injury induced by D-gal.Methods Rats were randomly divided into control group, D-gal group (200 mg/kg of hypodermic D- galactose), groups with BPS of low dosage (BPS-L), medium dosa
