An analytical approximate technique for conservative nonlinear oscillators is proposed. This method is a modification of the generalized harmonic balance method in which analytical approximate solutions have rational form. This approach gives us not only a truly periodic solution but…

A comparison between different emission rates of various pollutants obtained from various wastes is presented. The studied wastes were the following: polyethylene (PE), tyres, sewage sludges, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), cotton textiles, polyester textiles, meat and bone meals (MBMs), varnish wastes,…

The bibliographic impact factor (BIF) of Thomson Scientific is sometimes not a valid scientometric indicator for a number of reasons. One major reason is the strong influence of the number of “source items” or “articles” for each journal that the…

The definitions and meaning qualified nurses employed in an acute NHS
hospital setting in the UK gave to health education and health promotion practice
and how these fitted established language and theory were investigated qualitatively.
These concepts, and the concomitant…

This paper describes a multisensorial robotic system to automatically construct metallic structures. Two robots must work cooperatively in the same workspace to perform the task. The robots are automatically guided using visual and force sensor information. A new time-independent visual…
