lean manufacturing is a systematic approach to identifying and eliminating wastes (non-value added activities) through continuous improvement by conveying the product at the pull of the customer in pursuit of production. in a more basic term, more value with less work. since lean manufacturing eliminates many of the problems associated with poor production scheduling and line balancing, lean ma...

purpose: to recognize affective factors in delivering x-ray contrast agents (which have high atomic number) via gallium carrier to liver or lymphatic neoplasm cells.   materials and methods: since uptake of gallium by liver has been reported in numerous researches, it was bonded with a contrast media (metrizoate). x-ray imaging was done to determine geometric features of liver.   results: radio...

we introduce an implicit method for nding a common element of the set of solutions of systems of equilibrium problems and the set of common xed points of a sequence of nonexpansive mappings and a representation of nonexpansive mappings. then we prove the strong convergence of the proposed implicit schemes to the unique solution of a variational inequality, which is the optimality condition fo...

estimation and mapping of forest resources are preconditions for management, planning and research. in this study, we applied kriging interpolation of geostatistics for estimation and mapping of forest stock at-tributes in a natural, uneven-aged, unmanaged forest in the caspian region of northern iran. the site of the study has an area of 516 ha and an elevation that ranges from 1100 to 1450 m ...

this paper presents a modified 32-bit rom-based direct digital frequency synthesizer (ddfs). maximum output frequency of the ddfs is limited by the structure of the accumulator used in the ddfs architecture. the hierarchical pipeline accumulator (hpa) presented in this paper has less propagation delay time rather than the conventional structures. therefore, it results in both higher maximum ope...

in this paper, we introduce a new concept of fuzzy generalizedcontraction and give a fixed point result for such mappings in the setting of fuzzy m-complete metric spaces. we also give an affirmative partial answer to a question posed by wardowski [d. wardowski, fuzzy contractive mappings and fixed points in fuzzy metric spaces, fuzzy set syst., {bf 222}(2013), 108-114].some examples are also g...

we consider the concept of fuzzy quasi-contractions initiated by '{c}iri'{c} in the setting of fuzzy metric spaces and establish fixed point theorems for quasi-contractive mappings and for fuzzy $mathcal{h}$-contractive mappings on m-complete fuzzy metric spaces in the sense of george and veeramani.the results are illustrated by a representative example.

the main purpose of this paper is to detemine the fine spectrum of the generalized difference operator delta_{uv} over the sequence space c0. these results are more general than the fine spectrum of the generalized difference operator delta_{uv} of srivastava and kumar.

Texture mapping, bumpmapping, and displacement maps are central instruments in computer graphics aiming to achieve photo-realistic renderings. In all these techniques, the mapping is typically oneto-one and a single surface location is assigned a single texture color, normal, or displacement. Other specialized techniques have also been developed for the rendering of supplementary surface detail...
