In this paper new implicit higher order accuracy (N-IHOA) time integration based on assumption of constant time step is presented for dynamic analysis. This method belongs to the category of the multi time step integrations. Here, current displacement and velocity are assumed to be functions of the velocities and accelerations of several previous time steps, respectively. This definition causes...

background: rose bengal is a common test for serologic diagnosis of brucellosis. the aim of this study was to evaluate the agreement rate between modified rose bengal, rose bengal and rapid wright tests for detection of antibody positive serum samples.  methods: c ross section study was designed. 941 serum sample of patients referred to the central medical laboratory of kermanshah, were evaluat...

Two new approximate algorithms with O ( k l o g k ) for the rectilenear Steiner tree are proposed. Both algorithms base upon the method which makes minimum spanning tree on the modified Delaunay net with the triangular Steiner points as the more virtual generating points, because each point and each edge weight on the modified Delaunay net have been fixed.

this paper focused on a novel method of electroless plating ruthenium (ru) on solid or porous substrates like porous stainless steel (pss) discs or ceramic tubes. a novel complexing plating bath of ru was developed. it is proven that ru can be deposited directly on these substrates by the bath at a temperature of 328 k and strong alkaline environment. tga, sem, edx and xrd confirmed the success...

The growth of AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location) systems leads to huge amount of data about different parts of bus fleet (buses, stations, passenger, etc.) which is very useful to improve bus fleet efficiency. In addition, by processing fleet and passengers’ historical data it is possible to detect passenger’s behavioral patterns in different parts of the day and to use it in order to improve fle...
