In contemporary textbooks on functional anatomy, the actions of muscles which cross more than one joint are often described according to the degrees of freedom which they might influence about the joints crossed. Such actions, however, might in principle also be performed by sets of mono-articular muscles crossing the same joints. In the past centuries many authors have provided convincing evid...

in this paper, we introduce and study the prime, strongly prime,semiprime and irreducible fuzzy bi-ideals of a semigroup. we characterize thosesemigroups for which each fuzzy bi-ideal is semiprime. we also characterizethose semigroups for which each fuzzy bi-ideal is strongly prime.

Supplier selection and material procurement planning are the most important issues in supply chain management. This decision is complicated when the buyers face with discount price schemes. In real situation, each supplier may apply different methods such as different types of discount schedules and various types of payment in order to increase market share. In this situation, buyers try to sel...

This paper considers the problem of minimizing make-span and maximum tardiness simultaneously for scheduling jobs under non-identical job sizes, dynamic job arrivals, incompatible job families,and sequence-dependentfamily setup time on the single batch- processor, where split size of jobs is allowed between batches. At first, a new Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model is proposed for t...

The bi-Hamiltonian structure of original Hirota-Satsuma system proposed by Roy based on a modification of the bi-Hamiltonian structure of Ito system is incorrect.

Introduction: Bismuth-based nanoparticles having high atomic number and electron density, besides of being utilized as CT contrast agent, stand as a strongly proposed method for dose enhancement in radiotherapy. Embedded nanoparticle in polymer gel dosimeter poses the first step to assess the dose enhancement capability in nanoparticles. To this end, MAGICA gel dosimeter, whic...

An urban traffic network (UTN) accounting for signal setting and link capacity expansion under uncertain travel demand is considered. In order to mitigate vulnerability of UTN system, a robust bi-level model is firstly presented. A trust-region cutting plane projection (TCPP) is proposed in this paper to solve the proposed robust bi-level model. Numerical computations for proposed bi-level mode...

Most existing power  converters and industrial motor drive systems draw non-sinusoidal currents from the supply. Non-sinusoidal currents contained harm harmonics disturb the power supply which it causes serious concern for reliability. Other equipments that use the same power supply are adversely affected. This paper suggests the operation and performance of a new modified AC/DC converter that ...
