The present paper aims to improve the dynamical balancing of a slider-crank mechanism. This mechanism has been widely used in internal combustion engines, especially vehicle engines; hence, its dynamical balancing is important significantly. To have a full balance mechanism, the shaking forces and shaking moment of foundations should be eliminated completely. However, this elimination is usuall...

Muscle series elasticity and its contribution to eccentric moment generation was examined in humans. While subjects [male, n = 30; age 26.3 +/- 4.8 (SD) yr; body mass 78.8 +/- 13.1 kg] performed an isometric contraction of the knee extensors at 60 degrees of knee flexion, a quick stretch was imposed with a 12 degrees -step displacement at 100 degrees /s. The test was performed at 10 isometric a...

This paper presents sampling-based speech parameter generation using moment-matching networks for Deep Neural Network (DNN)-based speech synthesis. Although people never produce exactly the same speech even if we try to express the same linguistic and para-linguistic information, typical statistical speech synthesis produces completely the same speech, i.e., there is no inter-utterance variatio...

We compare predictions for the spin–independent contribution to the neutralino–proton scattering cross section σχp and for the anomalous magnetic dipole moment of the muon, aμ = (gμ − 2)/2, in models with gravity–mediated supersymmetry breaking. We nearly always find a positive correlation between these two measurables, i.e. scenarios with larger aμ also tend to have larger σχp, but the detaile...

In this article, an effective method to control a power system during emergency conditions is presented. Based on Fuzzy Linear Programming (FLP), a new technique is developed to solve the Load Shedding and Generation Reallocation (LSGR) optimization Problem. The objective function consists of terms of load curtailments and deviations in generation schedules. The constraints are power system var...

direct yaw moment control systems (dyc) can maintain the vehicle in the driver’s desired path by distributing the asymmetric longitudinal forces and the generation of the control yaw moment (cym). in order to achieve the superior control performance, intelligent usage of lateral forces is also required. the lateral wheel forces have an indirect effect on the cym and based upon their directions,...

BACKGROUND CONTEXT Accurate anatomical inputs for biomechanical models are necessary for valid estimates of internal loading. The magnitude of the moment arm of the lumbar erector muscle group is known to vary as a function of such variables as gender. Anatomical evidence indicates that the moment arms decrease during torso flexion. However, moment arm estimates in biomechanical models that acc...

Potential energy surfaces of electron dynamics (ePES) are constructed from a model localized wave packets (eWP) with non-orthogonal valence-bond (VB) spin coupling and applied to quantum simulations high harmonic generation (HHG) spectra hydrogen helium atoms induced by intense laser pulses. The the single on ePES is calculated numerically solving time-dependent Schrödinger equation. results re...

The paper is devoted to the parameter identification of the axial dispersion model in the closed–open canal. It is oriented to the identification precision for the two variants of the flow model with various variance levels. The identification method is based on the transfer function application for the solution of given model PDE. When the impulse function g(t) is obtained, the characteristics...
