Compressive sensing (CS) is well-known for its unique functionalities of sensing, compressing, and security (i.e. equal importance CS measurements). However, there a tradeoff. Improving compressing efficiency with prior signal information tends to favour particular measurements, thus decreasing security. This work aimed improve the without compromising novel sampling matrix, named Restricted St...

In this paper, following a two-stage methodology, the differential quadrature element (DQE) model of a three-story frame structure is updated for the vibration analysis. In the first stage, the mass and stiffness matrices are updated using the experimental natural frequencies. Then, having the updated mass and stiffness matrices, the structural damping matrix is updated to minimize the error be...

Figure 6: Strongly related (SSM based) functional sets and similarities between them, Case Study I. Nodes represent set of closely related methods; weight of the edge between two nodes represents the average value of SSM among the methods of the corresponding sets. Non trivial sets are represented by smaller circles and are merged with trivial sets (bigger circles) of the same color.. Figure 11...

We first provide an example of a ring R such that all possible 2 × 2 structural matrix rings over R are isomorphic. However, we prove that the underlying graphs of any two isomorphic structural matrix rings over a semiprime Noetherian ring are isomorphic, i.e. the underlying Boolean matrix B of a structural matrix ring M(B,R) over a semiprime Noetherian ring R can be recovered, contrary to the ...

Infertility as a vital process in human reproduction involves many couples worldwide. Although many genetic causes of infertility are known, the genetic basis of infertility in men is largely unknown. Therefore, the identification of genetic biomarkers in this field is important and genetic polymorphisms in key genes of the spermatogenesis pathway can be valuable biomarkers in this field. Gene'...
