a new dynamic friction model for modeling of elliptical vibration assisted turning (evat) was developed in this research. the periodic change of the friction force direction is known to be one of the most important causes of this phenomenon. in modeling of machining processes (including the evat process), static coulomb friction model was employed by most of the researchers. because of the peri...

in this research, rehydration behavior of dried figs was studied at different temperatures (25, 60, 70, 80, and 90°c). the rehydration kinetic was examined using the four most frequently used empirical models, namely, weibull, peleg, first-order, and exponential association models. the weibull model gave the highest coefficient of determination (r2) and the lowest values of root mean square err...

In a robotic soccer team, goalkeeper is an important challenging role, which has different characteristics from the other teammates. This paper proposes a new learning-based behavior model for a soccer goalkeeper robot by using Petri nets. The model focuses on modeling and analyzing, both qualitatively and quantitatively, for the goalkeeper role so that we have a model-based knowledge of the ta...

Distributed system poses one of the main streams of information and communication technology arena with immense complexity. Designing and implementation of such complex systems are always an intricate endeavour. Likewise, performance evaluation is also a great concern of such complex system to evaluate whether the system meets the performance related system requirements. Hence, modeling plays a...

One exciting promise of ubiquitous computing is that increased fidelity in natural world sensing will enable computers to better serve people via responsive or anticipatory behavior. We believe better behavioral modeling of users can play an important role in helping to make this possible. We propose the technique of planaware behavioral modeling to reason about deviations between a user’s inte...

"An examination of the role of narrative discourse in organizational behavior teaching" Prof. Brian Glibkowski A common problem of teaching Organizational Behavior (a course I teach at Stonehill) is a failure to use an explicit method by which important concepts (e.g., satisfaction, turnover, transformational leadership) are interconnected as cause‐and‐effect models by students. In the vernacu...
