This paper presents the kinematic analysis and the development of a 4-degree-of-freedom serial-parallel mechanism for large commercial vehicle driving simulators. The degrees of freedom are selected according to the target maneuvers and the structure of human motion perception organs. Several kinematic properties of parallel part of the mechanism under study are investigated, including the inve...

By using the finite element $p$-Version in convection-diffusion problems, we can attain to a stabilized and accurate results. Furthermore, the fundamental of the finite element $p$-Version is augmentation degrees of freedom. Based on the fact that the finite element and the meshless methods have similar concept, it is obvious that many ideas in the finite element can be easily used in the meshl...

visual servoing is generally contained of control and feature tracking. study of previous methods shows that no attempt has been made to optimize these two parts together. in kernel based visual servoing method, the main objective is to combine and optimize these two parts together and to make an entire control loop. this main target is accomplished by using lyapanov theory. a lyapanov candidat...

based on an immanent religious approach, the present article is an attempt to answer the following two questions: can freedom be studied from a quranic viewpoint? how can freedom be analyzed according to the quran within a specific theoretical framework? the study of the quranic verses asserts that the quran views mankind as being god's successor on earth and having a divine nature and a f...

The freedom of a decision is not yet sufficiently described as a psychological variable. We present a model of functional decision freedom that aims to fill that role. The model conceptualizes functional freedom as a capacity of people that varies depending on certain conditions of a decision episode. It denotes an inner capability to consciously shape complex decisions according to one's own v...

OBJECTIVE Pain is one of the most frequently reported symptoms by veterans returning from recent overseas military actions. The purpose of the current study was to obtain a preliminary estimate of the prevalence and severity of pain among veterans of Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF; N=970). The demographic, etiologic, and diagnostic characteristics of 100 veterans with mo...
