This paper presents a review on displacement-based method of structural analysis. In Applied Element Method (AEM), the structure is simulated as an assembly elements formed by dividing virtually. These are connected in both normal and tangential directions springs. AEM can be used to analyze behavior from initial loading until total collapse. It combines between advantages Finite (FEM) Discrete...

in this paper a novel process monitoring scheme for reducing the type і and type іі error rates in the monitoring phase is proposed. first, the proposed approach uses an augmented data matrix to implement the process dynamic. then, we apply independent component analysis (ica) transformation to the augmented data matrix, and eliminate the outliers using the local outlier factor (lof) algorithm....

food security in iran has closely relation with wheat and flour and its waste. the study of food pattern in the iran provinces shows that bread is the major source of calorie and protein in the country daily diet. the main purpose of this study was to analyze factors, affecting bread wastes in the bahar county in the hamedan province. the research was conducted based on the applied-descriptive....

evaluation of communication abilities in the elderly is crucial for activities which will be performed to improve their quality of life. a valid and reliable questionnaire is needed for assessing communication abilities. we aimed to translate and validate the speech, spatial, and qualities of hearing scale (ssq) in iran. the forward-backward procedure was applied to translate the questionnaire ...

Exploratory factor analysis is commonly used in IS research to detect multivariate data structures. Frequently, the method is blindly applied without checking if the data at hand fulfill the requirements of the method. In this paper, we investigate the influence of sample size, data transformation, factor extraction method, rotation and number of factors on the outcome. We compare classical exp...
