This paper presents a Divide and Conquer strategy to estimate the kinematic parameters of parallel symmetrical mechanisms. The Divide and Conquer kinematic identification is designed and performed independently for each leg of the mechanism. The estimation of the kinematic parameters is performed using the inverse calibration method. The identification poses are selected optimizing the observab...

there are different strategies for selecting stocks, and different investors use different strategies according to their risk tolerance or their expected rate of return. in this study, the profitability of a broad range of stock se-lection strategies in tehran stock exchange over the period 1370-1383, has been examined, and it has been investigated whether the successful strategies in other cou...

A major challenge in using GPS guidance for aircraft final approach and landing is to reject interference that can jam reception of the GPS signals. Antenna arrays, which use space–time adaptive processing (STAP), significantly improve the signal to interference plus noise ratio, but at the possible expense of distorting the received signals, leading to timing biases that may degrade navigation...

In this paper we propose a strategy for the orientation and auto-calibration of wide-baseline image sequences. Our particular contribution lies in demonstrating, that by means of robust least-squares adjustment in the form of bundle adjustment as well as least-squares matching (LSM), one can obtain highly precise and reliable results. To deal with large image sizes, we make use of image pyramid...

changes in credit risk may arise when either the value or the risk of corporate assets changes. changes in the equity value associated with the changes in the asset value and changes in asset risk can be characterized into potentially countervailing direct and indirect effects. the indirect effect of risk on equity value is a function of factors that affect the debt value of including leverage,...

Abstract. Hydrological models are useful tools for exploring the impact of climate change. To prioritize parameters calibration and to evaluate hydrological model functioning, sensitivity analysis can be conducted. Parameter sensitivity, however, varies over climate, therefore change could influence parameter sensitivity. In this study we explore in mean discharge timing discharge, within a pla...

Abstract The study of solids and structures under extreme conditions often relies on simulations that employ complex material models. These, in turn, are formulated using analytical expressions depend parameters whose values need to be adjusted for optimally reproducing available experimental results and, especially, out-of-sample predictiveness. In this article we review the process required c...
