In this paper, the vibrations of thin plate in modified couple stress thermoelastic medium by using Kirchhoff- Love plate theory has been investigated. The governing equations of motion and heat conduction equation for Lord Shulman (L-S) [1] theory are written with the help of Kirchhoff- Love plate theory. The thermoelastic damping of micro-beam resonators is analyzed by using the normal mode a...

Introduction: A two-shift work schedule with different rotations is common among firefighters in Iranian petrochemical companies. This study compared salivary melatonin and sleepiness on the last night before turning to day shift at 19:00, 23:00, 3:00, and 7:00 among petrochemical firefighters (PFFs) working seven and four consecutive night shifts. Methods: Sixty four PFFs working in the petroc...

In this paper, we discuss the performance of the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) wireless communication systems using the binary phase shift keying (BPSK) modulation over Rayleigh fading channel implementing the generalized receiver (GR) constructed in accordance with the generalized approach to signal processing in noise. We compare OFDM-BPSK wireless communication systems ba...

Given a real and invertible d×d matrix C, we define for k ∈ Zd a generalized translation operator TCk acting on f ∈ L 2(Rd) by (TCkf)(x) = f(x − Ck), x ∈ R . A generalized shift-invariant system is a system of the type {TCjkφj}j∈J,k∈Zd , where {Cj}j∈J is a countable collection of real invertible d×d matrices, and {φj}j∈J ⊂ L 2(Rd). Generalized shift-invariant systems contain the classical wavel...

In this paper we study problems where one has to prove that certain graph parameter attains its maximum at the star and its minimum at the path among the trees on a fixed number of vertices. We give many applications of the socalled generalized tree shift which seems to be a powerful tool to attack the problems of the above mentioned kind. We show that the generalized tree shift increases the l...

QR algorithm for eigenproblems is often applied with single or double shift strategies. To save computation effort, double implicit shift technique is employed. In Watkins and Elsner[1], a higher-order shift strategy, generalized Rayleigh quotient shift strategy, is introduced. In this paper, we give a generalization of the double implicit shift technique for the higher-order strategy, and comp...
