Participatory sensing is the process in which individuals or communities collect and analyze systematic data using mobile phones and cloud services. To efficiently develop participatory sensing services, some server-side technologies have been proposed. Although they provide a good platform for participatory sensing, they are not optimized for spatial data management and processing. For the pur...

Power system stabilizers (PSSs) are used to enhance the damping during low frequency oscillations. Artificial intelligence techniques provide one alternative for stability enhancement and speed deviation (Δw). In this paper we have applied Fuzzy based and Support Vector Machine (SVM) based approach to PSS for Single Machine Infinite Bus (SMIB) System .The proposed method using SVM techniques ac...

Previous work in computational mechanism design has largely focused on the problem of revelation of private information by selfinterested agents. In contrast, this work addresses the rational manipulation that can occur when mechanisms are implemented by the agents themselves. We are interested in distributed implementations, when agents may selfishly deviate from algorithms imposed by a mechan...

In this study, structural analyses were conducted to analyze the performance of a bridge which friction pendulum systems (FPSs) applied using different models. A Coulomb model and rate dependent constructed coefficient PVDF/MgO material effect analysis The uses single regardless velocity, while can reflect change in with velocity. Nonlinear time history seismic fragility confirm responses bridg...

This paper introduces a fuzzy controller as a power system stabilizer used to damp inter-area modes of oscillation following disturbances in power system. The fuzzy-logic power system stabilizer (FPSS) has been designed to provide a supplementary signal to the excitation system of the synchronous generator. The performance of FPSS, which is tuned automatically as the operating conditions of pow...

This paper presents a new gaming device and interaction method for First-Person-Shooters (FPS) based on ChairIO, a novel intuitive hands-free interface. ChairIO is based on a stool and is similar to a joystick, but controlled by the user’s body motion. The ChairIO interaction is augmented by a game console gun to form a new interaction method for FPSs. An initial evaluation compares several Cha...

Background: Infertility is a painful emotional experience associated with stress. Objectives: The present study aimed at determining infertility-related stress and its associated factors in infertile clients referred to the infertility clinic of Al-Zahra hospital in Rasht, Iran, in 2019. Methods: The present cross-sectional study was performed on 200 clients undergoing infertility treatment, ...

در بررسی­های فونستیک سال 2011 دامنه جنوبی رشته کوه­های زاگرس ایران، یک نمونه ماده از گونه Amphipyra kautti Hacker, 2002 متعلق به خانواده Noctuidae و زیرخانواده Amphipyrinae مناطق کوهستانی استان کهگیلویه بویراحمد جمع­ آوری شناسایی شد. این که برای اولین بار ایران گزارش می­شود، همراه با ویژگی­های افتراقی، تصویر الگوی بال اندام تناسلی شده ارائه است. اطلاعات مربوط دیگر همین جنس مطالعه نیز

Distributed systems are increasingly made up of nodes governed by disparate self-interested parties. These parties can be modeled as rational (in a game theoretic sense) utility-maximizing players that participate in a distributed algorithm. These rational nodes may choose to deviate from a given specification to increase their utility, but alternatively can be incented to correctly implement p...

Farnesylpyrophosphate synthase (FPS) catalyzes the biosynthesis of farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP), which is an important precursor of sesquiterpenoids such as artemisinin and wilfordine. In the present study, we report the molecular cloning and characterization of two full-length cDNAs encoding FPSs from Tripterygium wilfordii (TwFPSs). TwFPSs maintained their capability to synthesise FPP in vitr...
