there are different processes to form new words in every language, including compounding, derivation, inflection, etc. in compounding, two lexical stems form a compound. in derivation and inflection, new words are coined by affixation or some phonetic changes. this kind of affixation is applied on the simple or compound stem. here our compound stem is a bound compound stem, consisting of a noun...

The problem of fault diagnosis in grid-connected systems is considered. A diagnosis algorithm, called DAGS and based on the PMC model, is presented. DAGS provides a diagnosis which is shown to be correct, although possibly incomplete, if the cardinality of the actual fault set is below a bound Tσ, dependent of the actual syndrome σ. A bound T independent of σ is also derived by a worst-case ana...

In this paper, a new method for developing a lower bound on exact completion time distribution function of stochastic PERT networks is provided that is based on simplifying the structure of this type of network. The designed mechanism simplifies network structure by arc duplication so that network distribution function can be calculated only with convolution and multiplication. The selection of...

Titers in a direct agglutination test using Formalin-fixed toxoplasma tachyzoites were significantly higher in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome with toxoplasmic encephalitis (TE) than in those without TE. In contrast, when fresh (not fixed) tachyzoites were used, the titers did not differ from those in patients without TE. The direct agglutination test using Formalin-fixed tachy...

simultaneous estimation of the range and the angle of close emitters usually requires a multidimensional search. this paper proposes analgorithm to improve the position of an element for arrays designed on the basis of some certain or random rules. in the proposed method,one element moves along the same previous direction, maintaining its vertical distance from each source, to reach a constella...

in this paper, we solve a linear system of second-order boundary value problems by using the quadratic b-spline nite el- ement method (fem). the performance of the method is tested on one model problem. comparisons are made with both the analyti- cal solution and some recent results.the obtained numerical results show that the method is ecient.

in this letter we have proposed a new regularization scheme to deal with the divergent integralsoccurring in the quantum mechanical problem of calculating the bound state energy of the delta-functionpotential in two and three dimensions. based on the schwinger parameterization technique we argue thatthere are no infinities even in d dimensions. in this way we were able to compare our proposal w...
