In this paper, we study the problem of scheduling periodic tasks on multiple periodic resources. We take two step approach by first integrating multiple periodic resources to an equivalent single periodic resource so that existing real-time scheduling theorems on single periodic resource can be applied. Second, we extend the schedulability tests of periodic tasks on a single periodic resource i...

in this paper, stability analysis of walking gaits and robustness analysis are developed for a five-link and four-actuator biped robot. stability conditions are derived by studying unactuated dynamics and using the poincarã© map associated with periodic walking gaits. a stable gait is designed by an optimization process satisfying physical constraints and stability conditions. also, considering...

in this paper, a new fractional sub-equation method is proposed for finding exact solutions of fractional partial differential equations (fpdes) in the sense of modified riemann-liouville derivative. with the aid of symbolic computation, we choose the space-time fractional zakharov-kuznetsov-benjamin-bona-mahony (zkbbm) equation in mathematical physics with a source to illustrate the validity a...

In this paper two external schema generation algorithms are presented. These algorithms are defined in the framework of the new external schema definition methodology for OODBs put forward in (Samos, 1995); they generate an external schema from a set of classes selected from those existing in an external schema definition repository. Their main characteristic is that they avoid the generation o...

Using periodic Strang{Fix conditions, we can give an approach to error estimates for periodic interpolation on equidistant and sparse grids for functions from certain Besov spaces.

The project management discipline is expanding within many engineering activities. This discipline can facilitate strivings toward successful accomplishment of an engineering project. Therefore, many academic institutes teach the “project management” program. This study presents a novel approach that educates engineering students to become successful project managers based on contextual learnin...

Ambivalence, the presence of positive and negative reactions toward an object, typically involves the subjective experience of conflict. We investigate the role that the perceived validity of each side of an ambivalent attitude plays in producing subjective ambivalence (SA). Consistent with the metacognitive model of attitudes, we demonstrated that SA is reduced when people doubt either the pos...

The functional perspective on attitudes suggests that individuals will be more persuaded by advertisements that match their individual needs or attitude functions. Although previous research provided correlational support for this functional approach, the current study aimed to provide a stronger, experimental test. A pilot study validated situational manipulations of the value-expressive and k...
