objective: potato is the fourth important food crop after wheat, rice and maize. shrinkage  of  food  materials  has  a negative  consequence  on  the  quality  of  the dehydrated product. the main objective pursued in this paper is to investigate the shrinkage amount of potato slices during drying process using vacuum-infrared method. methods: in this work, the effect of the infrared radiation...

In this paper we consider theta series with the highest order of vanishing at the cusp ∞. When the level is a power of 2, these theta series are the m-th powers of a certain theta function with characteristic, related to the lattice √ 2kZ. Instead if the level is a power of 3, these theta series are the m/2-th powers of a theta series associated to the 2−dimensional root lattice A2 with charact...

in this paper, we propose a new residual analysis method using fourier series transform into fuzzy time series model for improving the forecasting performance. this hybrid model takes advantage of the high predictable power of fuzzy time series model and fourier series transform to fit the estimated residuals into frequency spectra, select the low-frequency terms, filter out high-frequency term...

in this study it has been tried, to compare results and convergence rate of sensitivity analysis and conjugate gradient algorithms to reduce fuel consumption and increasing engine performance by optimizing the timing of opening and closing valves in xu7/l3 engine. in this study, considering the strength and accuracy of simulation gt-power software in researches on the internal combustion engine...

We present the first framework for efficient application of stateless model checking (SMC) to programs running under the relaxed memory model of POWER. The framework combines several contributions. The first contribution is that we develop a scheme for systematically deriving operational execution models from existing axiomatic ones. The scheme is such that the derived execution models are well...

A power describes the ability of an agent to act in some way. While this notion of power is critical in the context of organisational dynamics, and has been studied by others in this light, it must be constrained so as to be useful in any practical application. In particular, we are concerned with how power may be used by agents to govern the imposition and management of norms, and how agents m...
