We introduce a new supervised learning model that is a nonhomogeneous Markov process and investigate its properties. We are interested in conditions that ensure that the process converges to a "correct state," which means that the system agrees with the teacher on every "question." We prove a sufficient condition for almost sure convergence to a correct state and give several applications to th...

The often crosscutting characteristics of feature implementations make effective variability management a predominant engineering challenge in software product line engineering. Features can often hardly be modularized but are spread over several other modules. In this paper we propose XWeave, an approach that facilitates variability implementation, management, and tracing by using aspects to m...

Model atmospheres of A and B stars are computed taking into account magnetic line blanketing. These calculations are based on the new stellar model atmosphere code LLM which implements direct treatment of the opacities due to the bound-bound transitions and ensures an accurate and detailed description of the line absorption. The anomalous Zeeman effect was calculated for the field strength...

The importance of semiconductor wafer fabrication has been increasing steadily over the past decade. Wafer fabrication is the most technologically complex and capital intensive phase in semiconductor manufacturing. It involves the processing of wafers of silicon in order to build up layers and patterns of metal and wafer material. Many operations have to be performed in a clean room environment...

this paper discusses the simulation study carried out for proposing one-piece lean line layout with features of lean manufacturing. the lean initiatives that can be addressed are, introducing kanban replenishment sys-tem, better work-in-process, changing the layout, visual management techniques, standardized work for the re-duction of cycle time, number of workers, number of setups. to improve ...

in this paper two nodes to model isotropic and anisotropic media in transmission line matrix method (tlm) are presented. by using these two nodes, the permeability and permittivity of an anisotropic media can be modeled simultaneously. another application of these nodes is in modeling media with permittivity and permeability less than one. in the conventional 2 dimensional tlm, the stubs repres...

In this paper power system model is represented in a new domain that relates to Multi-Resolution Analysis (MRA) space. By developing mathematical model of elements in this space using Galerkin method, a new alternative method for power system simulation in nonsinusoidal and periodic conditions is developed. The mathematical formulation and characteristics of new proposed space is expressed. Als...

Development of a numerical model which describes launching of offshore jackets from barge is presented in this paper. In this model, in addition to capabilities of commercial softwares, water entry forces on jacket members and an implicit Newmark solution technique are included. The results are in general agreement with other numerical software’s available (SACS). Fluid forces acting on jacket ...
