tension-leg platform (tlp) is a vertically moored floating structure. the platform is permanently mooredby tendons. surge equation of motion of tlp is highly nonlinear because of large displacement and it should be solved with perturbation parameter in time domain. this paper compare the dynamic motion responses of a tlp in regular sea waves obtained by applying three method in time domain usin...

Research on Just-in-Time (JIT), Total Quality Management (TQM), Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), Supply Chain Management (SCM), and Theory of Constraints (TOC) generally investigate the implementation and impact of these programs in isolation. However, many researchers believe and argue conceptually the value of understanding the joint implementation and effect of manufacturing programs. Thi...

In this paper we introduce a cooperative environment between the Interactive Digital TV (IDTV) and home networking with the aim of allowing the interaction between interactive TV applications and the controllers of the in-home appliances in a natural way. More specifically, our proposal consists of merging MHP (Multimedia Home Platform), one of the main standard frameworks for IDTV, with OSGi (...

Generally human vision system searches for salient regions and movements in video scenes to lessen the search space and effort. Using visual saliency map for modelling gives important information for understanding in many applications. In this paper we present a simple method with low computation load using visual saliency map for background subtraction in video stream. The proposed technique i...

The Sirri jacket offshore platform was designed and installed in Persian gulf of Iran in 1975 and has been in service since that time. The importance of offshore structure's stability and the failure of this kind of structure during an earthquake in different active zones revealed that earthquake loading has to be considered. In this paper, Magnetorheological (MR) fluid dampers have been propos...

background: the cholinergic system plays an important role in learning and memory. administration of extracts of curcuma longa or its constituent, curcumin, have some roles in cognitive function in animals. the aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of curcumin in preventing spatial performance impairment induced by scopolamine, a cholinergic receptor antagonist, in rats using ...
