Low rank representation (LRR) has recently attracted great interest due to its pleasing efficacy in exploring low-dimensional subspace structures embedded in data. One of its successful applications is subspace clustering which means data are clustered according to the subspaces they belong to. In this paper, at a higher level, we intend to cluster subspaces into classes of subspaces. This is n...

umbilical cord blood (ucb) as a source of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (hspcs) used for umbilical cord blood transplantation (ucbt). the main obstacle in application of this source as an appropriate source of hspcs is low volume of this product. so ex vivo expansion of these cells in a microenvironment which mimic body condition is important. in current study we designed biocompatible mi...

in this paper, a method for finding an approximate solution of a class of two-dimensional nonlinear volterra integral equations of the first-kind is proposed. this problem is transformedto a nonlinear two-dimensional volterra integral equation of the second-kind. the properties ofthe bivariate shifted legendre functions are presented. the operational matrices of integrationtogether with the produ...

‎‎‎in this paper‎, ‎we develop multi-step methods to solve a class of two-dimensional nonlinear volterra integral equations (2d-nvies) of the first kind‎. ‎here‎, ‎we convert a 2d-nvie of the first kind to a one-dimensional linear vie of the first kind and then we solve the resulted equation numerically by multi-step methods‎. ‎we also verify convergence and error analysis of the method‎. ‎at t...

in this paper, using annular resonator we have designed an adding and dropping filter light based ontwo-dimensional photonic crystals. the shape of ring resonator filter adding and dropping that wehave proposed is race track. this filter has a hexagonal lattice structure of silicon bars withrefractive index 3/46 that is located in the context of air with refractive index 1. transmissionefficien...

Annihilation or reduction of each kind of noise blended in correct data signals is a field that has attracted many researchers. It is a fact that fuzzy theory presents full capability in this field. Fuzzy filters are often strong in smoothing corrupted signals, whereas they have simple structures. In this paper, a new powerful yet simple fuzzy procedure is introduced for sharpness reduction in ...

This paper investigates facial expression effects in face recognition from 3D shape using partial ICP. The partial ICP method could implicitly and dynamically extract the rigid parts of facial surface by selecting a part of nearest points pairs to calculate dissimilarity measure during registration of facial surfaces. The method is expected to be able to get much better performance than other m...

In this paper we introduce a Relaxed Dimensional Factorization (RDF) preconditioner for saddle point problems. Properties of the preconditioned matrix are analyzed and compared with those of the closely related Dimensional Splitting (DS) preconditioner recently introduced by Benzi and Guo [7]. Numerical results for a variety of finite element discretizations of both steady and unsteady incompre...

The objective of this paper was to investigate the performance of recessed single-lap joints with dissimilar adherends through the finite element method. The influence of material and geometric nonlinearity of the adhesive as well as the impact of the recess length was examined in terms of maximum principal stresses. The strength of the joint was obtained as the load to initiate the crack propa...
