Nonlinear function approximation is one of the most important tasks in system analysis and identification. Several models have been presented to achieve an accurate approximation on nonlinear mathematics functions. However, the majority of the models are specific to certain problems and systems. In this paper, an evolutionary-based wavelet neural network model is proposed for structure definiti...

We compare recent approaches to community structure identification in terms of sensitivity and computational cost. The recently proposed modularity measure is revisited and the performance of the methods as applied to ad hoc networks with known community structure, is compared. We find that the most accurate methods tend to be more computationally expensive, and that both aspects need to be con...

We review and compare recent approaches to community structure identification. Definitions of communities are revisited, as well as the recently proposed modularity measure. We then classify the various methods into link removal methods, agglomerative methods, methods based on optimising the modularity measure, spectral methods and others. Finally, the performance of the methods, as applied to ...

the problem of crack identification in continuous beam like structures is considered. the cracks’ locations and their depths are identified by employing experimental modal test results performed on the structure. the cracks are modeled using generic elements to include the coupling effects between shear forces and bending moments at the crack section. in the identification procedure eigen- sens...

this paper presents a method for identification of linear system physical parameters (structural mass, damping and stiffness matrices) using the inverse solution of equation of motion in the frequency domain, by focus on the reducing the illconditioning effect. the method utilizes the measured responses from the forced vibration test of structure in order to identify the system properties and d...

in this study marine sponges of inter tidal zone from hengam island persian gulf were collected by wading at low tides in eskeleh station at  locations 55˚ 53ʹ 40ʺ e & 26˚ 40ʹ 53ʺ n.for identifying identification of sponge samples, acid digestion method as a method of early detection and microtome section to identify the skeletal structure were used.all the identified sponges were from class de...
