The silane coupling agent 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS) is commonly used to surface modify (silanize) glass fillers for the reinforcement of
In this paper, we discuss the importance of recognizing and representing both stationary and moving obstacles for the purpose of autonomous driving as well as
We define native intelligence as the specified complexity inherent in the information content of an artificial system. The artificial system is defined as a
Retrieval mechanisms are frequently compared by computing the respective average scores for some effectiveness metric across a common set of information needs
There is a critical need in the law enforcement community to ensure the reliability of computer forensic tools. A capability is required to ensure that forensic

This study evaluated the applicability of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to follow the reactions of 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS) with water
Emerging rapidly as a new paradigm of the 21st century, Mass Customization Manufacturing (MCM) systems possess some special characteristics that make the
For the measurement of effective intensity of flashing lights, the Blondel-Rey, Blondel-Rev-Douglas, Form Factor, and Allard methods are adopted in various
Intelligent agents can enable the integration of preliminary design with manufacturing planning software systems. These agents execute in a computer-based
