Engineering design education is traditionally structured such that each individual discipline is taught by a specialist in that discipline. This has artificially created an impression to students that a product should be looked at from different perspective in a segmented manner. This approach hence results in a great problem when computer model based teaching methods are introduced to tackle m...

Robert C. Hannum* Anthony N. Cabot This paper sheds light on the age-old argument as to whether poker is a game in which skill predominates over chance or vice versa. Recent work addressing the issue of skill vs. chance is reviewed. This current study considers two different scenarios to address the issue: 1) a mathematical analysis supported by computer simulations of one random player and one...

The process of development of mechanical systems, shown in Fig. 1, is an iterative process, starting from the requirement of users and finishing by a complete product. And during all this procedure we need to perform modelling and testing of developed parts. Fig. 1. V-scheme of product development The virtualisation of this process, i.e. the development and tests of computer models instead of r...

In framework of the Gross-Pitaevskii mean field approach it is shown that supersonic flow of BoseEinstein condensate can support a new type of pattern—an oblique spatial dark soliton. Exact spatial dark soliton solution of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation is obtained. It is demonstrated by numerical simulations that spatial solitons can be generated by an obstacle inserted into the flow. Connectio...

In hybrid simulation, the structure is divided into numerical and physical substructures to achieve more accurate responses in comparison to a full computational analysis. As a consequence of the lack of test facilities and actuators, and the budget limitation, only a few substructures can be modeled experimentally, whereas the others have to be modeled numerically. In this paper, a new hybrid ...

The uniform verification problem for parameterized systems is to determine whether a temporal property is true for every instance of the system which is composed of an arbitrary number of homogeneous processes. We consider some aspects of the inductionbased technique which assumes the construction of finite invariants of such systems. An invariant process is one which is greater (with respect t...

in this paper, we examine target detection in the surveillance channels of fm-based passive bistatic radars (fbpbrs) in the presence of interference signals in the reference channels of these systems. to do so, we propose a new signal conditioning algorithm to remove interference signals form reference channel. simulation results show that the proposed signal conditioning algorithm outperform t...

in biaxially strained p-mosfet with si channel, formation of a parasitic parallel channel due to misalignment of energy bands degrades device performance by increasing off-state current. in this paper a new approach has been introduced to eliminate this parasitic channel by increasing the dopant concentration of virtual substrate up to . using simulation the impact of this method on the parasit...
