The objective of the project was to provide means for establishing reliable quantitative failure initiation criteria for multiple chip modules (MCMs), electronic packages, laminated composites and adhesively bonded joints. During Phase I, an easy-to-use, reliable and robust software was developed, with a graphic user interface, based on the innovative methods presented in [1], [2] and [3], for ...

Currently, the mechanical vehicle generating system is a relatively developed vehicle generating system that is widely used in a variety of places where mobile power supply is in shortage. This paper applies CATIA to process three-dimensional parametric modeling design for the power take-off and transmission of the system, using PROTEL DXP to design and analyze the electronic control part of th...

We have revisited the problem of a hydrogen molecular ion in the presence of a short intense laser field. Our approach for time-propagation the initial state subject to the Schrödinger equation is similar to that presented by Kulander et al. [1]. A common simplification to the full problem is the reduction to one dimension with two degrees of freedom, one for the nuclear separation (R) and one ...

Last years many efforts have been made for developing “smart” biomedical devices, which can change in high level the way of the healthcare provision for a large amount of population. For instance, people who suffer from chronic diseases such as diabetes or neurological disorders, the elderly and some groups of people with special needs can easily check repeatedly many times per day their health...

Recently proposed voter-verifiable protocols provide encrypted paper receipts to voters, who may later check that these receipts are in the electronic ballot box. This paper describes an enhancement that allows the voter to electronically transmit, from the polling booth, her encrypted receipt to an external verifier, who may perform the check on her behalf. It uses CAPTCHAs (techniques whose s...

Only few artificial limbs for total upper arm replacement includes other active joints than those of hand and elbow. The main cause is the difficulty to the set up the limb command system. Some components of artificial upper arm have been recently designed and built by the our research group. The full arm consists of a two active axes shoulder and a single axis elbow, plus a commercial hand. Th...

If information leakage occurs, an investigator is instructed to specify what documents were leaked and who leaked them. In the present work, a distributed print-out monitoring system—which consists of a virtual printer driver and print-out policy/log management servers—was developed. For easily matching the discovered (i.e., leaked) paper document with the print-out log, the virtual printer dri...

This paper details a design for end-to-end verifiable voting in the Australian state of Victoria, based on the Prêt à Voter end-to-end verifiable voting system [Ryan et al. 2009]. The system ran successfully in the state election in Victoria (Australia) in November 2014, taking a total of 1121 votes from supervised polling places inside Victoria and overseas. The proposed protocol is end-to-end...

the application of the [pd{c6h3(ch2ch2nh2)-4-ome-5-κ2-c,n}(μ-br)]2 complex of 2-methoxyphenethylamine in the heck coupling reaction was considered under both conventional and microwave irradiation conditions, and their results were compared. this complex is an efficient, stable and non-sensitive to air and moisture catalyst for the vinylation of substituted aryl halides with different electroni...

in order to determine the responses of morphological characteristics, yield and yield components of rapeseed (brassica napus l.) to plant density and weed interference duration, a factorial experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design with 3 replications at the rice research institute of iran (rrii) in rasht, in the 2008 growing season. the factors comprised plant density a...
