this paper deals with a globally convergent adaptive and sliding mode control of a cart-pole inverted pendulum for trajectory tracking in the presence of a bounded measurement noise and parameter uncertainty. two kinds of controllers have been used for evaluation of tracking error in presence of a bounded noise; as a result, we want to compare that at what time we can see the convergence of tra...

Introduction Non-invasive Fluorescent Reflectance Imaging (FRI) is used for accessing physiological and molecular processes in biological media. The aim of this article is to separate the overlapping emission spectra of quantum dots within tissue-equivalent phantom using SVD, Jacobi SVD, and NMF methods in the FRI mode. Materials and Methods In this article, a tissue-like phantom and an optical...

efficient mode shape extraction of fluid-structure systems is of particular interest in engineering. an efficient modified version of unsymmetric lanczos method is proposed in this paper. the original unsymmetric lanczos method was applied to general form of unsymmetric matrices, while the proposed method is developed particularly for the fluid-structure matrices. the method provides us with si...

This paper presents a methodology for the assessment of ductility and strength capacities in low-rise buildings. This method utilizes the characteristics of force-displacement for the lowest story level or considers the weakest story in any given low-rise building for its primary analysis. Calculations are based on two levels of earthquake motions, namely strong earthquakes (PGA=0.3 g), and ver...

The objective of this study was to develop a new optimal parallel algorithm for matrix multiplication which could run on a Fibonacci Hypercube structure. Most of the popular algorithms for parallel matrix multiplication can not run on Fibonacci Hypercube structure, therefore giving a method that can be run on all structures especially Fibonacci Hypercube structure is necessary for parallel matr...
