management of the forest resources and related activities has significant effects on the environment. applying the environmental impact assessment (eia) provides a basis for improving forest management plans. however, in the developing countries such as iran, there have been so far no serious endeavors and research to undertake the eia of the various practices affecting the forest resources, de...

results the single covariance analysis of ancova indicated that the value of eta about 72% of variance of anxiety variable and about 76% of variance of drug abuse variable are taken in to account for variable of group. the intervention was effective in reducing anxiety and attitude to crack in males. evaluating the adjusted mean showed the effectiveness of matrix method on anxiety and attitude ...

Charles Dodgson (1866) introduced a method to calculate matrices determinant, in asimple way. The method was highly attractive, however, if the sub-matrix or the mainmatrix determination is divided by zero, it would not provide the correct answer. Thispaper explains the Dodgson method's structure and provides a solution for the problemof "dividing by zero" called "virtua...

in this paper, an optimization method for both weight and displacement of composite blades is presented. in   order to hold issues such as aerodynamics and acoustic unchanged, airfoil shape during optimization process remained constant. to achieve the ultimate goal, only blade lamination was changed. in order to achieve minimum weight for each part of the structure, the lowest layers are foreca...

the current paper proposes a technique for the numerical solution of linear control systems.the method is based on galerkin method, which uses the interpolating scaling functions. fora highly accurate connection between functions and their derivatives, an operational matrix forthe derivatives is established to reduce the problem to a set of algebraic equations. several testproblems are given, a...

In this work we demonstrate how the extension of the Evans function method using the compound matrix approach can be implemented to undertake the stability analysis (normally done through numerical means) of nonlinear travelling waves. The main advantage of this approach is that it can easily overcome the stiffness which is normally associated with these kinds of problems. We present a general ...

We develop a novel and powerful technique for communication lower bounds, the pattern matrix method. Specifically, fix an arbitrary function f : {0, 1}n → {0, 1} and let Af be the matrix whose columns are each an application of f to some subset of the variables x1, x2, . . . , x4n. We prove that Af has bounded-error communication complexity Ω(d), where d is the approximate degree of f. This res...

In this paper we give a self-contained proof of Sherstov’s pattern matrix method. This theorem combines two main ideas—an extension of the discrepancy method known as the generalized discrepancy method and the notion of dual polynomials—with the techniques of matrix norms, Fourier analysis, and approximate degree. All together, this results in lower bounds on the randomized communication comple...
