The effect of measurement errors on adaptive and non-adaptive control charts has been occasionally considered by researchers throughout the years. However, that effect on the variable sample size and sampling interval (VSSI) control charts has not so far been investigated. In this paper, we evaluate the effect of measurement errors on the VSSI control charts. After a model development, the effe...

Balancing timing of tasks and abilities in multiplayer games is an important design element, but two time balancing issues are currently difficult to deal with: individual differences in experience or skill, and real-world elements that impose fixed temporal constraints on the game (as in mixedreality games). We introduce adaptive time-variant minigames as a way of addressing the problems of ti...

Formulaic language and sequence as the core characteristic of real-life language and native-like fluency, has been a subject of inquiry in recent decades. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of two extensive reading text types, i.e., adaptive and authentic, on Iranian EFL learners’ development of lexical bundles. To this aim, 20 intermediate EFL learners were chosen to pa...

one of the common problems in reflection seismic records in the land is the existence of surface waves with high amplitude and low frequency which cause the most important parts of reflective signals to be masked. therefore, it is necessary to attenuate them by processing and acquisition methods. as it is impossible to attenuate the surface waves completely, and sometimes it is likely to damage...

In this paper, a comparison study is presented on artificial intelligence and time series models in 1-hour-ahead wind speed forecasting. Three types of typical neural networks, namely adaptive linear element, multilayer perceptrons, and radial basis function, and ARMA time series model are investigated. The wind speed data used are the hourly mean wind speed data collected at Binalood site in I...

This paper presents an adaptive counting approach that captures weightlifting exercise repetitions despite fluctuations in the speed of performing. By having a hybrid counting approach that utilizes both state counting based on mean acceleration information and a sensor-based peak detection, reliable gym exercise counting with low transmission rates is achieved. Both approaches are running in p...

In analysis of fMRI data, it is common to average neighboring voxels in order to obtain robust estimates of the correlations between voxel timeseries and the model of the signal expected to be present in activated regions. This paper presents a novel method for analysis of fMRI data, which extends this approach by averaging only neighboring voxels whose time-series have similar correlation coef...
