Arthrodires were predatory vertebrates of the Devonian seas, with simple lower jaws conducible to examination of feeding across growth, evolution, and local diversity. 2D finite element analyses (FEA) of arthrodire mandibles (scaled to equivalent length and force, and checked against a 3D control), and a new method of stress integration, enable extensive comparisons of bite stress. FEA indicate...

in this study, the performance of an irreversible regenerative brayton cycle is sought through power maximizations using finite-time thermodynamic concept in finite-size components. optimizations are performed using a genetic algorithm. in order to take into account the finite-time and finite-size concepts in the current problem, a dimensionless mass-flow rate parameter is used to deploy time v...

A finite switchboard state machine is a specialized finite state machine. It is built by binding the concepts of switching state machines and commutative state machines. The main purpose of this paper is to give a specific algorithm for fuzzy finite switchboard state machine and also, investigates the concepts of switching relation, covering, restricted cascade products and wreath products of f...

Most information systems that are driven by process models (e.g., workflow management systems) record events in event logs, also known as transaction logs or audit trails. We consider processes that not only keep track of their history in a log, but also make decisions based on this log. To model such processes we extend the basic Petri net framework with the notion of history and add guards to...

Let G be a finite extensive form game with perfect information and chance moves, referred to here as a game. Fix a set of players N = {1, 2, ..., n} and a set of histories H, such that the root history ∅ ∈ H and, for any a = (a1, ..., at−1, at) ∈ H, (a1, ..., at−1) ∈ H. The set of terminal histories is Z ⊂ H, and the player assignment function identifies a subset of players (or Nature) at each ...

In the present paper, some finite element softwares about interaction of dam and reservoir during earthquake in time domain are discussed. Impedance option is used as boundary condition of absorbent of reservoir and wave. For each software, time history analysis of pressure and displacement are done and finally suitable elements for dam structure and reservoir fluid are introduced comparing the...

Free Download Manager (FDM) is one of the most popular download managers due to its free availability, high download speed and versatility. It contains a lot of information that is of potential evidentiary value even if a user deletes web browser history, cookies and temporary internet files. This software records download activities across multiple files saved with .SAV extensions in the User ...
