Vibrational characterization of in-situ stair performance using energy-harvester data

Vibration performance and energy harvesting potential of two in-situ stairs is evaluated using voltage output of an electromagnetic induction harvester prototype. First, the validation and benchmarking procedure is provided for a prototype electromagnetic induction harvester to assess 1) performance as a quantitative sensor for vibrations and 2) feasibility as a low-demand energy harvester. Secondly, the dynamic characteristics of two in-situ stairs are evaluated and compared to FEA and simplified analytical single-degree of freedom (SDOF) models.

Public debt and investment growth, evidence from Egypt

In this paper we are trying to investigate the impact of public debt accumulation on the Egyptian public investment growth to ascertain the validity of crowding out theory. The research adopts Vector Error Correction Estimation techniques to determine the terrible nature of the relationship between public debt accumulation (both internal and external debt) and public investment growth in Egypt. We are using data covering the period 1981-2015 sourced from the Central Bank of Egypt and the World Bank data base.

Subjects and Methods: Thirty females suffering from localized fat deposits at the abdominal area were involved in the study. Their Body Mass Index(BMI) between 30 kg\m2 -34.9 kg\m2.Participants age was ranged from 30-40 years. They were classified randomly and equally into two groups Group I: This group was composed of fifteen female suffering from localized fat deposits at the abdominal area.

Data mınıng and text mınıng wıth bıg data: revıew of dıfferences

In recent years, organizations have come across complex databases due to the development of technology, the growth of databases and information technologies, and the use of widespread information technologies. If the data found in line with the needs of the institutions are managed successfully and effectively, it is obvious that the institutions and organizations will offer great advantages and opportunities in economic terms. Each action performed in the digital environment leaves a data record behind it.
