Improving the energy efficiency of new and existing building stock while fostering the use of renewable energy is one of the major goals of the Renovation Wave initiative promoted by the European Union.In this framework, the present research focuses on the design of an innovative and efficient construction solution for an external envelope and inte
This paper presents a virtual-force-based guidance law (VFGL) for path following and obstacle avoidance in unmanned aerial vehicles.First, a virtual spring force and a virtual drag force are designed for straight-line following; then, the dynamic of the cross-track-error is equivalent to a spring mass system, which is easy to tune to acquire stabil
The excessive consumption of fossil fuel particularly in urban areas due to transportation and industrial activities has greatly contributed to generation of high levels of pollution; therefore, a renewable eco-friendly energy source is required.The production of bioethanol from sugar extracted from waste fruit peels as an energy supply is renewabl
Thanks to its very high performances in term of spatial resolution, table speed and multiplanar reconstructions (MPR), 64-row MDCT today produces unrivalled high quality images of the entire abdominal wall (AW) during a single short breath hold.It appears thus particularly useful for the evaluation of AW hernias, allowing accurate identification of
Abstract Background Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is used increasingly in small animals to remove circulating large molecular products such as antibodies, pathogenic proteins, and protein‐bound toxins.Specific, efficient, and safe protocols need to be developed.Hypothesis/Objectives To describe the technique of membrane‐based TPE, the resul
