In the manufacturing line, there is a material handling system which transfers an item from one machine to other machine. One of the simplest material handling systems is RGV(Rail Guided Vehicle) system. In this system, RGV moves only backward and forward on the guided rail and it executes the job which consists of two location information; 'From location', 'To location'. When the RGV gets a jo...

Background. The instantaneous hyperemic flow-versus-pressure (i-HFVP) slope index is a new method of assessing maximal coronary conductance and canbe used as an alternative to conventional measures of coronary reserve. The i-HFVP slope index is determined by measuring the slope of thelinear diastolic segment of the relation between instantaneous aortic pressure and hyperemic coronary flow. Meth...

We propose a new algorithm for recommender systems with numeric ratings which is based on Pattern Structures (RAPS). As the input the algorithm takes rating matrix, e.g., such that it contains movies rated by users. For a target user, the algorithm returns a rated list of items (movies) based on its previous ratings and ratings of other users. We compare the results of the proposed algorithm in...

This paper takes the effect of supporting structure and anchor on the slope stability of the excavation process into consideration; the stability calculation model is presented for the slope reinforced by prestressed anchor and grillage beam, and the dynamic search model of the critical slip surface also is put forward. The calculation model of the optimal stability solution of each anchor tens...

Recommender systems are mechanisms that filter information and predict a user’s preference to an item. Parallel implementations of recommender systems improve scalability issues and can be applied to internet-based companies having considerable impact on their profits. This paper implements a parallel version of the collaborative filtering algorithm Slope One, which has advantages such as its e...

The relation between a straight line and its digitization as a digital straight line is often expressed using a notion of proximity. In this contribution, we consider the covering of the straight line by a set of balls centered on the digital straight line pixels. We prove that the optimal radius of the balls is strictly less than one, and can be expressed as a function of the slope of the stra...

The i-HFVP slope index is determined by measuring the slope of the linear diastolic segment of the relation between instantaneous aortic pressure and hyperemic coronary flow. M...

BACKGROUND Kinematically aligned total knee arthroplasty strives to correct the arthritic deformity by restoring the native tibial joint line. However, the precision of such surgical correction needs to be quantified in order to reduce recuts of the resection and to design assisting instrumentation. This study describes a method for novel three-dimensional analysis of tibial resection parameter...
