evolving models have found applications in many real world systems. in this paper, potentials of the evolving linear models (elms) in tracking control design for nonlinear variable structure systems are introduced. at first, an elm is introduced as a dynamic single input, single output (siso) linear model whose parameters as well as dynamic orders of input and output signals can change through ...

in this research, both resource allocation and reactive resource allocation problems in multi-server dynamic pert networks are analytically modeled, where new projects are expected to arrive according to a poisson process, and activity durations are also known as independent random variables with exponential distributions. such system is represented as a queuing network, where multi servers at ...

background: relapse is a common problem in drug user’s rehabilitation program and reported in all over the country. an in-depth study on patients’ experiences can be used for exploring the relapse process among drug users. therefore, this study suggests a model for relapse process among iranian drug users. methods: in this qualitative study with grounded theory approach, 22 participants with ri...

in this paper, time-domain dynamic analysis of dam - infinite reservoir is studied. a numerical method, discrete singular convolution (dsc), which seems to be efficient and simple, has been used to model the mixed boundary conditions. after a brief introduction, dsc is applied to model the equation of motion of fluid-structure with constant cross section subjected to el-centro (1940) earthquake...

dynamic frothability index (dfi) is a characteristic of any frother which presents useful information about frothing properties. the objective of this study is to introduce a prediction model for estimation of dfi value of dual-frother blends. model uses the dfis of frothers and mole ratio of weaker frother to calculate the blend’s dfi. the model reliability was confirmed by comparing the exper...

One of the major cipher symmetric algorithms is AES. Its main feature is to use S-BOX step, which is the only non-linear part of this standard possessing fixed structure. During the previous studies, it was shown that AES standard security was increased by changing the design concepts of S-BOX and production of dynamic S-BOX. In this paper, a change of AES standard security is studied by produc...

in this work dynamic recrystallization behavior of aisi 403 martensitic stainless steel was studied using hot compression tests over temperature range of 900 c -1200 c and strain rate range of 0.001 s-1 - 1 s-1. the obtained flow curves showed that the hot compression behavior of the alloy is controlled by dynamic recrystallization. the flow stress and strain corresponding to the critical, pe...

in this paper, a mixed-integer linearized programming (minlp) model is presented to design a group layout (gl) of a cellular manufacturing system (cms) in a dynamic environment with considering production planning (pp) decisions. this model incorporates with an extensive coverage of important manufacturing features used in the design of cmss. there are also some features that make the presented...
