By December 1958, Canada had admitted almost 38,000 Hungarian refugees, forced to flee their country after Soviet forces crushed the October 1956 uprising. A rich historiography has examined this migration from a range of perspectives, but an analysis women’s actions and attitudes represents uncharted approach. Archival research reveals that Canadian women expressed opinions took on variety rol...

in this paper a new strategy is proposed to design a fixed-structure robust controller for a flexible beam.  robust controller designed by the conventional  loop­ shaping method is not appropriate for a beam because of its high order and complicated form. fixed-structure  loop shaping control in conjunction with particle swarm optimization (pso)algorithm  is used to overcome this drawback. the ...

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is an efficient method of data transmission for high speed communication systems. However, the main drawback of OFDM system is the high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) of the transmitted signal. OFDM consist of large number of independent subcarriers, as a result of which the amplitude of such signal can have high peak values. Pulse shaping u...

We explore dynamic shaping to integrate our prior beliefs of the final policy into a conventional reinforcement learning system. Shaping provides a positive or negative artificial increment to the native task rewards in order to encourage or discourage behaviors. Previously, shaping functions have been static: the additional rewards do not vary with experience. But some prior knowledge cannot b...

introduction: several treatment options have been introduced for removal of gingival hyperplasic lesions, but using diode lasers have many advantages such as less bleeding, time saving, better shaping, improved healing and less complication for the patients. case: a 15-year-old girl with multiple fibroma-like lesions in the oral cavity, who had a medical history of tuberous sclerosis, was selec...

human factors are among the main elements affecting the reliability of nondestructive examinations (nde). in a man-machine system, human reliability is affected by many factors (performance shaping factors) whose influence on reliability cannot be easily expressed quantitatively. this paper identifies and ranks 59 perform-ance shaping factors by using a fuzzy reasoning method and proposes a pro...

Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) and Offset Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (OQPSK) are two wellaccepted modulation techniques used in Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) system. The Pulse-Shaping Filters play an important role in digital transmission. The type of Pulse-Shaping Filter used, and its behavior would influence the performance of the communication system. This in turn, would have...

The increasing demand of achieving high data rates in modern communication systems requires highly efficient bandwidth utilization. For this purpose, multilevel modulation schemes are used in association with forward error correction (FEC) codes in order to approach the channel capacity. However, there is a gap between the capacity of a uniform signal constellation and the Shannon unconstrained...
