Let S(r) denote the w-sphere with a linear involution having a fixed point set of codimension r, where O ^ r ^ w . We pick some fixed point as a base point and consider the set [S(r); S(t)] of base point preserving equivariant homotopy classes of maps from S(r) to S(t). This has a natural group structure for n—r^l and is abelian if n—r^2. There is a suspension functor S without action and one 2...

In this paper, the mobility and motion characteristics of a special 3-UPU parallel mechanism (PM) are studied. Using the screw theory and geometric method, the mobility of this PM is analyzed. When the moving platform and the base are not parallel, it has two rotational and one translational DOF. There is always a midperpendicular plane between the base and the moving platform. The moving platf...

We study the dynamic profit maximization problem for a firm exercising control on both marketing and production. The firm’s marketing effort impacts the current-period demand, which in turn affects future demand in a dissipating fashion. Under linear-cost and zero-leadtime assumptions, we show that the firm should follow base-point rules for both marketing and production, whereas trends of the ...

The convexity of numerical domains such as polyhedra, octagons, intervals and linear equalities enables tractable analysis of software for buffer overflows, null pointer dereferences and floating point errors. However, convexity also causes the analysis to fail in many common cases. Powerset extensions can remedy this shortcoming by considering disjunctions of predicates. Unfortunately, analysi...

Changing base composition during the evolution of biological sequences can mislead some of the phylogenetic inference techniques in current use. However, detecting whether such a process has occurred may be difficult, since convergent evolution may lead to similar base frequencies emerging from different lineages. To study this situation, algebraic models of biological sequence evolution are in...

In this paper, we present a method for calculated the numerical approximation of nonlinear Fredholm Volterra Hammerstein integral equation, which uses the properties of rationalized Haar wavelets. The main tool for error analysis is the Banach fixed point theorem. An upper bound for the error was obtained and the order of convergence is analyzed. An algorithm is presented to compute and illustr...

This clinical report describes a fixed maxillary telescopic dental prosthesis (FTDP) employing milled base metal copings and a metal superstructure veneered with composite resin, for the restoration in a periodontally compromised patient with uncontrolled diabetes. The telescopic prosthesis framework design incorporated occlusal rest seats in key positions along the arch in case of future poste...

This paper introduces AdaBoost Dynamic, an extension of AdaBoost.M1 algorithm by Freund and Shapire. In this extension we use different “weak” classifiers in subsequent iterations of the algorithm, instead of AdaBoost’s fixed base classifier. The algorithm is tested with various datasets from UCI database, and results show that the algorithm performs equally well as AdaBoost with the best possi...

Facsimile continues to be communication bedrock for transmitting sensitive business critical documents with legal standing. Traditional facsimile uses PSTN network for communication. As the mobile technology advances, fixed wireless terminals are being used to connect landline devices such as telephone, fax machines etc and transmit using the mobile phone networks. Fixed wireless terminals are ...

Many real-world communication networks often have hybrid nature with both fixed nodes and moving modes, such as the mobile phone networks mainly composed of fixed base stations and mobile phones. In this paper, we discuss the information transmission process on the hybrid networks with both fixed and mobile nodes. The fixed nodes (base stations) are connected as a spatial lattice on the plane f...
