A simple direct method able to generate time-optimal trajectories for a micro quadrotor helicopter is presented. It is based on modeling the quadrotor trajectory as a composition of a parametric… (More)
We discuss the problem of minimum cost trajectory planning for robotic manipulators. It consists of linking two points in the operational space while minimizing a cost function, taking into account… (More)
Alchornea cordifolia is one of the most widely-used plants in traditional medicine throughout Africa, principally for inflammatory, antimicrobial and parasitic diseases. In continuation of our… (More)
Enteral feeding, in particular with formula feeds, is associated with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). In this study, we have examined, in the systemic and mucosal immune compartments, for evidence… (More)
Children with congenital heart disease need adequate diagnostic classification regarding their cardiovascular status (CVS). N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide (N-BNP) plasma concentration indicates… (More)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
Activation of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is deleterious during cerebral ischemia. We assessed the influence of PARP activation induced by cerebral ischemia on the… (More)
This study was carried out on 968 skull X-rays to determine the incidence of the metopic suture in the Lebanese population. Complete and incomplete metopism was present in 0.82% and 0.93% of cases,… (More)
In this paper a New Single Phase Multilevel Active Power Filter SPMAPF is proposed. The presented structure is characterized by the use of Asymmetric Neutral Point Clamped Five-Level type of… (More)
Stanniocalcin (STC) is a calcium- and phosphate-regulating hormone produced by the corpuscles of Stannius in fishes. A rise in ion calcium (Ca2+) levels is the principal stimulus for secretion, and… (More)
Multijunction solar cells divide the solar spectrum into smaller slices, delivering experimental efficiencies over 40%, and enabling theoretical efficiency over 60%. These high efficiency cells have… (More)
