This paper presents an efficient and simple quad edge conversion method of polygonal (manifold) objects. In a wide variety of applications such as scientific visualization, virtual reality and computer aided geometric design, polygonal objects are expected to be visualized and manipulated within a given time constraint. To achieve these expectations, it is necessary to introduce an efficient da...

BACKGROUND Over time, adaptive Gaussian Hermite quadrature (QUAD) has become the preferred method for estimating generalized linear mixed models with binary outcomes. However, penalized quasi-likelihood (PQL) is still used frequently. In this work, we systematically evaluated whether matching results from PQL and QUAD indicate less bias in estimated regression coefficients and variance paramete...

A novel large input range source-follower based bi-quad filter cell is proposed offering an additional degree of freedom to the position of the poles and zeros. Simulation results of a 4th order fully differential elliptical filter in a 0.13μm CMOS technology confirm a power consumption of 160μA @ 1.2V, an IIP3 of 6.3 dBm and a steepness of 177 db/decade.

in this article differential transformation method (dtms) has been used to solve neutral functional-differential equations with proportional delays. the method can simply be applied to many linear and nonlinear problems and is capable of reducing the size of computational work while still providing the series solution with fast convergence rate. exact solutions can also be obtained from the kno...

A sweeping algorithm can generate hexahedral meshes by sweeping an all-quad mesh on the source surface to the target surface. For one-toone sweeping, the most difficult thing is to generate an all-quad mesh on the target surface which has the same mesh connectivity as that of the source surface. The traditional method is to use the affine transformation, like translation, rotation, scaling or c...

A new metaheuristic method applied to the global path planning for mobile robots in dynamic environments is presented. This algorithm, named the Quad Harmony Search method, consists of dividing the robot‟s environment into free regions by applying the Quad-tree algorithm and utilizing this information to accelerate the next phase which implements the Harmony Search optimization method to provid...

The quad-curl problem arises in the study of the electromagnetic interior transmission problem and magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). In this paper, we study the quad-curl eigenvalue problem and propose a mixed method using edge elements. Assuming stringent regularity of the solution of the quadcurl source problem, we prove the convergence and show that the divergencefree condition can be bypassed.
