The prediction of the quasi-static response of industrial laminate structures requires to use fine descriptions of the material, especially when debonding is involved. Even when modeled at the mesoscale, the computation of these structures results in very large numerical problems. In this paper, the exact mesoscale solution is sought using parallel iterative solvers. The LaTIn-based mixed domai...

Mobility of users and information is an important feature of IT systems that must be considered during design of sensitive information protection mechanisms. This paper describes an architecture of MobInfoSec system for sharing documents with sensitive information using fine-grained access rules described by general access structures. However, the proper usage of general access structures requi...

background: as english has increasingly become the lingua franca in science and international journals require native- like academic writing standards from nonnative researchers, there is more pressure on nonnative scholars to write their research articles more accurately and appropriately in english.this study was conducted to determine the most-occurring language-related errors which iranian ...

The language errors could potentially hinder the transmission of information and disturb theconcretization act communication. In contemporary context, many factors exercise influence on thelanguage especially social media triggering disregard linguistic norms, devaluing correct use disrupting normal flow These irregularities in Spanish languageare known as vices. subject this paper is a broad v...

Heterogeneous multi-cores–platforms comprised of both general purpose and accelerator cores—are becoming increasingly common. Further, with processor designs in which there are many cores on a chip, a recent trend is to include functional and performance asymmetries to balance their power usage vs. performance requirements. Coupled with this trend in CPUs is the development of high end intercon...

The United States Navy (USN) is shifting towards condition-based maintenance (CBM) of fatigue critical dynamic components on rotorcraft, which requires more efficient methods for component identification, usage history recording, and fatigue life tracking. This paper presents a method developed by Technical Data Analysis, Inc. (TDA) to track usage and history of all uniquely serialized componen...

Video abstraction allows searching, browsing and evaluating videos only by accessing the useful contents. Most of the studies are using pixel domain, which requires the decoding process and needs more time and process consuming than compressed domain video abstraction. In this paper, we present a new video abstraction method in H.264/AVC compressed domain, AVAIF. The method is based on the norm...

User Financial Incentives (UFIs) have emerged as a powerful tool for health promotion. Strong evidence suggests that large enough incentives paid to individuals, conditional on behaviour they can control, encourages more of the desired behaviour. However, such interventions can have unintended consequences for non-targeted behaviours. Implementation difficulties that result in individuals not u...

The task of choosing between lexical near-equivalents in text generation requires the kind of knowledge of ne di erences between words that is typi ed by the usage notes of dictionaries and books of synonym discrimination. These usage notes follow a fairly standard pattern, and a study of their form and content shows the kinds of di erentiae adduced in the discrimination of nearsynonyms. For ap...
