Strategies determine the long-term direction of organizations and institutions and they are historically formulated by top management. In an increasingly interconnected world, more and more stakeholders are expecting to contribute to both the development and the implementation of strategies. Strategies must therefore be understandable by all stakeholders and clear to implement. The first step i...

An algorithm for estimating reliable and accurate depth maps from stereoscopic image pairs is presented, which is based on block–matching techniques for disparity estimation. By taking neighboring disparity values into account, reliability and accuracy of the estimated disparity values are increased and the corona effect at disparity discontinuities is avoided. An interpolation of disparity val...

This paper focuses on a Bayes inference model for a simple step-stress life test using Type-I censored sample in a discrete set-up. Assuming the failure times at each stress level are geometrically distributed, the Bayes estimation problem of the parameters of interest is investigated in the both of point and interval approaches. To derive the Bayesian point estimators, some various balanced lo...

In the present paper, a new 2-D Van der Polstructural oscillator model is introduced for the vortex induced vibrations of circular cylinders.The main purpose of this task is to control the recently introduced model by means of modern control definitions in state space. In order to control the system, the whole model is linearized about its equilibrium point by deriving state-space matrices. The...

the purpose of this article is to identify the various mystical interpretations of horuf-e-moqatta’e (separated letters) in qur’an. ten mystical interpreters-the qur’an-al-azim, haghayegh-al-tafsir, lata’ef- al-esharat, kashf-al-asrar, ara’es-al-bayan, ta’vilat, rouh-al-bayan, manzum e safi, bayan-al-sa’adah- have been selected from several centuries and their explanations, after entries about ...
