The mechanical properties of injection molded short-fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite parts are highly dependent on the orientation distribution of the fibers. A simulation tool capable of predicting fiber orientation accurately as a function of mold design and processing conditions is required as the predicted fiber orientation capabilities in commercial software show large discrepancie...

While most approaches to automatically recognizing entailment relations have used classifiers employing hand engineered features derived from complex natural language processing pipelines, in practice their performance has been only slightly better than bag-of-word pair classifiers using only lexical similarity. The only attempt so far to build an end-to-end differentiable neural network for en...

In this work we use the recent advances in representation learning to propose a neural architecture for the problem of natural language inference. Our approach is aligned to mimic how a human does the natural language inference process given two statements. The model uses variants of Long Short Term Memory (LSTM), attention mechanism and composable neural networks, to carry out the task. Each p...

Dendritic microtubules (MTs) are nonuniform with respect to polarity orientation, with roughly equal proportions having a plus-end-distal or minus-end-distal orientation. In the present studies, we have microinjected biotin-labeled tubulin (Bt-tub) into cultured sympathetic neurons extending dendrites to explore the contribution of MT assembly to the elaboration and maintenance of the dendritic...

It is now widely believed that FlexRay communication protocol will become the de-facto standard for distributed safety-critical automotive systems. In this paper, the fault sensitivity of the FlexRay communication controller registers are investigated using transient single bit-flip fault injection. To do this, a FlexRay bus network, composed of four nodes, was modeled. A total of 135,600 trans...

With the emergence of smart, sensor-equipped mobile devices, the gathering and processing of data concerning the everyday lifestyles of the people using these devices has become a matter of course within the field of HCI. New standards in mobile technologies provide new opportunities for empirical studies, which allow researchers to explore people’s everyday lives unobtrusively. Furthermore, mo...

  Background: Osteoarthritis is a disabling musculoskeletal disease with no definite treatment. This study compared the effect of Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) plus exercise in the treatment of patients with knee joint osteoarthritis.   Methods : 54 eligible patients with knee osteoarthritis were randomly allocated into two groups. (IRCT201211...
