the main purpose of design in civil engineering is to establish a project which has the most versatility on the expected needs and existing conditions. through optimization this is equivalent to determination of a group of design variables that cause minimizing the object function versus imposed loads, restraints and predetermined parameters. in this research, genetic algorithm method is used t...

Objectives: To investigate the size of therapist effects using multilevel modeling (MLM), to compare the outcomes of therapists identified as above and below average, and to consider how key variables, in particular patient severity and risk and therapist caseload, contribute to therapist variability and outcomes. Method: We used a large practice-based data set comprising patients referred to t...

Real-world networks are generally claimed to be scale-free. This means that the degree distributions follow classical power-law, at least asymptotically. However, closer observation shows power-law distribution is often inadequate meet data characteristics due existence of an identifiable nonlinearity in entire log-log scale. The present paper proposes a new variant popular heavy-tailed Lomax w...

a new method for determination of residual stresses in the bottom layers of laminated composites is developed. in this method the residual stresses are determined by performing a consecutive drilling of laminated composites in the center of the rosette and recording the strains after drilling each layer. the depth of the hole in each step is equal to the thickness of each layer and the maximum ...

Kegiatan ekonomi dalam pandangan Islam merupakan tuntutan kehidupan. Untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidup yang beragam, manusia tidak mungkin sendirian, ia harus bekerjasama dengan orang lain, antara individu lain atau produsen konsumen. Salah satu bentuk kerjasama dikembangkan dewasa ini adalah sistem penjualan langsung berjenjang sering disebut Multi Level Marketing (MLM). Meskipun bisnis MLM berke...

Miguel A. Lagunas Antoni Gasull Procesado de Sefial en Comunicaciones E.T.S:.I. Telecomunicacidn. Apdo. 30002 Barcelona, Spain. Starting from the classical procedure reported by Capon for power level estinietion from ML filters, the authors present how this method can be modifyed in order to obtain a power spectral density estimate. The basic idea is to compute the effective bandwidth of the ML...
