Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD) offers new insights and tools for the modular development of systems with cross-cutting features. Current tool support for AOSD is provided mainly in the form of code-level constructs. This paper presents a way to express cross-cutting features as logical invariants and to use generative techniques to produce the kind of code that is usually written m...

The extinction of some of medical plants is not only due to the overuse of them and the grazing pressure but also their incorrect exploitation methods. Ferula assafoetida is one of the most important medical plants in Iranian rangelands, which is gradually disappeared from its habitats due to destructive traditional exploitations. Therefore, in order to determine how different incision techniqu...

One of the most significant and effective criteria in the process of cutting dimensional rocks using the gang saw is the maximum energy consumption rate of the machine, and its accurate prediction and estimation can help designers and owners of this industry to achieve an optimal and economic process. In the present research work, it is attempted to study and provide models for predicting the m...

This research explores the automated process adjustments of chip cutting operations by using neural network and statistical approaches in a computer-aided vision system. Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC), owing to their excellent electronic characteristics, are applied in the design of high-density PC boards. The excellences of MLCCs are accomplished through rigorous controlling of every pro...

Tool wear condition monitoring has the potential to play a critical role in ensuring the dimensional accuracy of the workpiece and prevention of damage to cutting equipment. It could also help in automating cutting processes. In this paper, the feed cutting force estimated with the aid of an inexpensive current sensor installed on the ac servomotor of a computerized numerical control turning ce...

We show shortcutting and overlapping techniques that, separately and in combination show promise of speedup for parallel processing of problems with irregular or asymmetric computation. Methodology is developed and demonstrated on an example problem.. . .

Female genital cutting (FGC) is a tradition practiced in parts of Africa, Middle East and Asia. Type III FGC, also known as infibulation, involves removing part or all of the external genitalia, generally, the prepuce, clitoris, labia minora, and majora. The remnant raw surfaces are sutured together (infibulated) using catgut sutures, thorns, or other adhesive concoctions to cover the urethra a...
