suitable utilization of daylight in architecture, in addition to meeting the physical and emotional needs of human increase the quality of living spaces. from this perspective, our country's rich architecture has valuable achievements and experiences, which requires recognizing and introducing it to the architectural community of iran and the world. the present research intends to examine ...

In process industries, control of liquid level in the process tank is important and complicated issues. In this work, authors have represented a case study involving mathematical modeling, system identification, and controller design of a three tank conical interacting level system (TTCILS). A nonlinear tank is identified mathematically and an auto tuning method of PID controller is implemented...

Results of recent experiments that clarify the effects of mechanical degradation and viscoelastic behavior on the flow of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide solutions through porous media are presented. From these results, a simple model that may be used to predict injectivity of polyacrylamide solutions is developed. Injection pressures for linear corefloods are shown to be separable into two...

Large-conductance Ca(2+)- and voltage-activated K(+) (BK) channels have the largest conductance (250-300 pS) of all K(+)-selective channels. Yet, the contributions of the various parts of the ion conduction pathway to the conductance are not known. Here, we examine the contribution of the entrance to the inner cavity to the large conductance. Residues at E321/E324 on each of the four α subunits...

In this paper, a method based on binary-coded genetic algorithm is proposed to explore an optimization method, for obtaining an optimal elliptical tank. This optimization method enhances the rollover threshold of a tank vehicle, especially under partial filling conditions. Minimizing the overturning moment imposed on the vehicle due to c.g. height of the liquid load, lateral acceleration and ca...

Abstrakt Konečno-stavový automat je formalizmus, ktorý je schopný do veľkej miery modelovať činnosť robotického systému. Ba, činnosť robotického systému možno pomocou stavových automatov priamo riadiť: riadiaci systém robota môže tvoriť jeden alebo viacero stavových automatov, presnejšie transducerov, kde prechody medzi stavmi generujú akcie. Bolo ukázané, že stavové automaty ako riadiaci systé...

[59] Milman Parry’s work attempted to demonstrate the traditional character of Homeric poetry. Despite a later shift in focus from the concept of “traditional” to “oral” (Finnegan 1991: 120), with at least the implication of a relatively open system as opposed to a relatively closed one, Parry’s early emphasis on tradition was so strong that his theory tended to be read as one discounting, if n...

[1] A decadal warming trend of Antarctic Bottom Water flowing through the Vema Channel is reanalyzed. Our data base consists of 94 high precision, full depth stations from 19 visits to the Vema Sill plus twelve stopovers at two additional key locations. Originally a long-term temperature increase in the near-bottom jet was noted from 1992 onward, after a period of rather constant abyssal temper...

In this paper, we consider the problem of sequentially testing simple hypotheses concerning the drift of a Brownian motion process from a unified Bayesian and frequentist perspective. The conditional frequentist approach to testing statistical hypotheses has been utilized in a variety of settings to produce tests that are virtually equivalent to their objective Bayesian counterparts. Herein, we...
