       Since the importance of truncated distributions has increased in many scientific fields in recent years and they provide valuable insights when dealing with censored or truncated data, this paper presents the Right Truncated Shanker Distribution as a new statistical distribution developed for modelling right truncated data. The distribution is defined by specifying its probability density function and cumulative distribution function under the truncation condition, the survival function and the hazard function. In addition, some properties of the right truncated Shanker distribution are derived, such as the moments around the origin, the variance, the coefficients of skewness and kurtosis, the moment generating function, and

Pulse wave speed (c) is a key variable in haemodynamics and cardiovascular system analysis. It is directly related to arterial elasticity and inversely to distensibility of the arterial lumen. The pressure–velocity loop (PU-loop), derived from simultaneous velocity (U) and pressure (P) measurements, is used to estimate c, leveraging the linear U–P relationship during early systole, when reflected waves are absent due to bifurcations and/or occlusion. The PU-loop method was validated using tensile and compliance testing. Tensile testing, using a load cell, estimated Young’s modulus (E) of synthetic elastic tubes, allowing c calculation using the Moens–Korteweg

However, achieving high sensitivity with a low-cost deposition technique for the SnS photodetector, which is based on a film grown on a flexible substrate, has been challenging. The primary aim of the present research is to fabricate a photodetector with higher sensitivity based on SnS thin film. The film was deposited onto a flexible polyester substrate utilizing a cheap and simple chemical bath deposition (CBD) method under 80 °C, pH 7.4, and 2.5 hours. The X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the film is made up of many small crystals and has a cubic shape, with an energy gap v

The image fusion technique was employed to generate a high-resolution image from a low-resolution one. A high scale was achieved by increasing the resolution of an image through interpolation, which relies on pixel neighbours. Multispectral images (low-resolution images with high resolution) from different satellites were utilized in this work for obtaining a high-resolution image. The crucial part of image fusion is image registration, which depends on obtaining a good high-resolution image. A scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) was utilized to receive control points with an affine transform. Correct control points are determined depending on the scale of the image (downscaling followed by upscaling), which is necessary for stabili

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are small yet highly capable aircraft widely used in many applications. UAV designs and shapes vary depending on their intended usage. Tri-copters, known for their agility, have three propellers. However, one of their main challenges is yawing, which occurs when the UAV rotates around its z-axis (yaw angle). This yawing issue is a result of the asymmetry in the number of propellers. Unlike quadcopters, which have an even number of propellers, the aerodynamic drag torque produced by the tri-copter’s propellers’ does not cancel out. In this paper, a Y-shaped tri-copter model is tested, modified and compared to address the yawing problem. Aiming to mitigate yawing, two propellers are set to rotate clockw
