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...

We describe several language and pronunciation modeling techniques that were applied to the 1996 Hub 4 Broadcast News transcription task. These include topic adaptation, the use of remote corpora, vocabulary size optimization, n-gram cutoff optimization, modeling of spontaneous speech, handling of unknown linguistic boundaries, higher order n-grams, weight optimization in rescoring, and lexical...

We describe a small, non-intrusive extension to the declarative modelling language Zinc that allows users to define model-specific search. This is achieved by providing a number of generic search patterns that take Zinc user-defined functions as parameters. We show the generality of the approach by using it to implement three very different kinds of search: backtracking search, branch-and-bound...

Systematicmodel-driven decision-making is crucial to design, engineer, and transformmanufacturing enterprises (MEs). Choosing and applying the best philosophies and techniques is challenging asmostMEsdeploy complex andunique configurations of processresource systems and seek economies of scope and scale in respect of changing and distinctive product flows. This paper presents a novel systematic...
