The main purpose of this work is the comparison of several objective functions for optimization of the vertical alignment. To this end, after formulation of optimum vertical alignment problem based on different constraints, the objective function was considered as four forms including: 1) the sum of the absolute value of variance between the vertical alignment and the existing ground; 2) the su...

We have developed a solid state probe for an absolute irradiance calibration of the Thomson scattering system on Large Plasma Device (LAPD), based Raman off silica. Measurements performed with triple-grating spectrometer investigated intensities pulsed laser beam scattered crystalline and amorphous silica over range temperatures relevance to LAPD (299 - 498 K). The data were compared Rayleigh i...

The standard technique to attack triple encryption is the meet-in-the-middle attack which requires 2 encryption steps. In this paper, more efficient attacks are presented. One of our attacks reduces the overall number of steps to roughly 2. Other attacks optimize the number of encryptions at the cost of increasing the number of other operations. It is possible to break triple DES doing 2 single...

The final goal of strategic management is to implement strategic plans, Therefore the alignment between corporate strategy and functional strategy is considerable. This study investigates the degree of alignment between HR strategy and corporate strategy of the national gas company. Data collection was conducted by questionnaire by 51 questions. The content validity of questionnaire was assesse...

We present an application of ABS algorithms for multiple sequence alignment (MSA). The Markov decision process (MDP) based model leads to a linear programming problem (LPP), whose solution is linked to a suggested alignment. The important features of our work include the facility of alignment of multiple sequences simultaneously and no limit for the length of the sequences. Our goal here is to ...

We consider a hierarchical triple system consisting of an inner eccentric binary with outer companion. A highly misaligned circumbinary disk around the is subject to two competing effects: (i) nodal precession about eccentricity vector that leads increase in misalignment (polar alignment) and (ii) Kozai-Lidov (KL) oscillations inclination driven by companion reduction misalignment. The outcome ...

Parameterised reconfiguration is a method for dynamic circuit specialization on FPGAs. The main advantage of this new concept is the high resource efficiency. Additionally, there is an automated tool flow, TMAP, that converts a hardware design into a more resource-efficient run-time reconfigurable design without a large design effort. We will start by explaining the core principles behind the d...
