Constructing a micro-sized microfluidic motor always involves the problem of how to transfer the mechanical energy out of the motor. The paper presents several experiments with pot-like microfluidic rotational motor structures driven by two perpendicular sine and cosine vibrations with amplitudes around 10 μm in the frequency region from 200 Hz to 500 Hz. The extensive theoretical research based on the mathematical model of the liquid streaming in a pot-like structure was the base for the successful real-life laboratory application of a microfluidic rotational motor. The final microfluidic motor structure allowed transferring the rotational mechanical energy out of the motor with a central axis. The main practical challenge of the research was to find the proper balance between the torque, due to friction in the bearings and the motor’s maximal torque. The presented motor, with sizes 1 mm by 0.6 mm, reached the maximal rotational speed in both directions between −15 rad/s to +14 rad/s, with the estimated maximal torque of 0.1 pNm. The measured frequency characteristics of vibration amplitudes and phase angle between the directions of both vibrational amplitudes and rotational speed of the motor rotor against frequency of vibrations, allowed us to understand how to build the pot-like microfluidic rotational motor.

Real-life situations showed damage effects on non-targeted cells located in the vicinity of an irradiation region, due to danger signal molecules released by the targeted cells. This effect is widely known as radiation-induced bystander effects (RIBE). The purpose of this paper is to model the interaction of non-targeted cells towards bystander factors released by the irradiated cells by using a system of structured ordinary differential equations. The mathematical model and its simulations are presented in this paper. In the model, the cells are grouped based on the number of double-strand breaks (DSBs) and mis-repair DSBs because the DSBs are formed in non-targeted cells. After performing the model's simulations, the analysis continued with sensitivity analysis. Sensitivity analysis will determine which parameter in the model is the most sensitive to the survival fraction of non-targeted cells. The proposed mathematical model can explain the survival fraction of non-targeted cells affected by the bystander factors.

The plastic-coated slideways have been widely used for form-generating movement in machine tools. Its dynamic behavior plays an important role in the vibration properties of the whole machine. In this work, according to the situation that researches on this subject were rather insufficient, a theoretical research was analyzed concerning the stiffness and damping characteristics of rectangle-shaped plastic-coated slideways. The mathematical model was firstly suggested especially based on the assembly of the saddle and worktable. Both stiffness and damping characteristics on vertical and horizontal directions were theoretically determined. To derive the governing motion equation of the slideway system, the carriage and rail were considered as rigid bodies and connected with a series of spring and damping elements at the joint face. Moreover, through the Lagrange’s approach, the frequencies of the carriage at vertical, pitching, yawing and rolling vibration mode were identified.

This paper is concerned with the invigilator-exam assignment problem. A web-based Automated Invigilator Assignment System (AIAS), consists of a mathematical model; a database storing the information and web-based user interfaces is constructed to solve the problem by providing an environment for a practical usage. The core of the system is the mathematical model developed for obtaining the exact solution. We conclude the paper by presenting a real-life problem solved by the proposed approach.

The paper deals with the location selection problem of the garage at the parcel of a single-family residential house. The mathematical model for this real life problem is constructed within MCDM framework. The significance of the chosen criteria was evaluated by AHP approach. The formulated MCDM problem is solved applying WASPAS extension, namely WASPAS-SVNS. The applied single-valued neutrosophic set allows to modeling uncertainty of the initial information explicitly. A numerical example is considered in order to verify the proposed approach.

The mathematical model presented here aims to enhance the precision in diagnostic process of diabetes, anaemia and hypertension by means of fuzzy interface. In real life, the imprecise nature of medical documentation and uncertain information provided by patients often do not give the desired degree of confidence to the diagnosis. To that end using the capability of fuzzy logic in representing, interpreting and utilizing data and information that are vague and lack certainty, a new algorithm based on different fuzzy matrices and fuzzy relations is developed. In the process a medical knowledge base is developed with the help of 51 doctors. The model achieved 94.44% accuracy in the diagnosis, which shows its usefulness. To implement this model-based diagnosis procedure a user-friendly Excel program is designed.

Tool design is one of the key factors that restrict the development of gear skiving technology since the design principle does not correspond to the cutting principle. The existing skiving tool cannot achieve ideal machining accuracy and reasonable cutting angles. In view of this, some research has been done in this paper. Firstly, the skiving principle is investigated essentially according to the skiving motions. Then, the principle of tool design is analyzed based on the theory of conjugate surface, and a new tool design method is proposed to match the skiving principle. For this, all the skiving patterns for various kinds of workpieces are enumerated and summarized to abstract a normalized skiving model. Based on this, the mathematical model of the conjugate surface is then derived to lay the foundation for tool design. Then, the design methods of cutting edge, rake face, and flank face are proposed. An example is presented at last, and the cutting simulation is conducted. The result proves that the proposed methods are correct and valid. The theoretical research in this paper could promote the improvement of skiving tools.

A mathematical model of oil-containing water purification process in the volume of granulated media is developed. On the basis of this model, the purifying ability of filtering unit with granulated coalescing media, which regenerates filtering media in the mode of pseudo liquefaction of granule without disassembling and replacement of filtering element, is studied. In the process of theoretical research, the physical model of oil-containing water purification process in the volume of granulated coalescing media is elaborated. The consistent patterns of the analysed process have gained further development. Due to these patterns, the factors which determine the effectiveneness of purification are established. After realization of the experiment plan for the first time, the mathematical model of a ship’s oil-containing water purification process in the volume of granulated media on the basis of the regression equation has been received. This model allows to calculate the rational constructive and operational parameters of the plant with granulated filter elements.

ABSTRACT Working liquid compressibility may considerably change the values and proportions of coefficients of the volumetric and mechanical energy losses in the displacement pump used in a hydrostatic drive system. This effect can be particularly seen in the operation under high pressure and also in the system, where aeration of the working liquid can occur. In the Part II the mathematical model is presented of the torque of mechanical losses in the pump and its laboratory verification. Conclusions are drawn regarding the effect of working liquid compressibility on the mechanical and volumetric losses in the pump.
