this paper presents an auto redundant technique for analysis of grid with curved members.this technique is based on the force method, but in the technique choice of the redundant iscompletely eliminated. the analysis technique is found very effective, accurate andprogrammable. a comprehensive c++ program has been developed to compute internalforces at the end of each member of the grid for diff...

BACKGROUND Finding duplicates is an important phase of systematic review. However, no consensus regarding the methods to find duplicates has been provided. This study aims to describe a pragmatic strategy of combining auto- and hand-searching duplicates in systematic review and to evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of duplicates. METHODS AND FINDINGS Literatures regarding portal vein...

The present study designed skewed redundant accelerometers for a Measurement While Drilling (MWD) tool and executed auto-calibration, fault diagnosis and isolation of accelerometers in this tool. The optimal structure includes four accelerometers was selected and designed precisely in accordance with the physical shape of the existing MWD tool. A new four-accelerometer structure was designed, i...

u-Health care has to measure various vital sign. Currently, Personal Health Device (PHD) communicates with a gateway. Then, vital sign transmitted from Gateway to monitoring system. Recently, auto diagnosis is trend in the medical industry. The auto diagnosis has to measure various vital sign to a patient. In this research, we facilitate communication among various PHD in order to reduce transm...

This paper presents the results of applying two different types of neural networks in two different approaches to the sensor validation problem. The first approach uses a functional approximation neural network as part of a nonlinear observer in a modelbased approach to analytical redundancy. The second approach uses an auto-associative neural network to perform nonlinear principal component an...

workspace analysis is one of the most important issues in the robotic parallel manipulator design. ‎however, ‎the unidirectional constraint imposed by cables causes this analysis more challenging in the cabledriven redundant parallel manipulators. controllable workspace is one of the general workspace in the cabledriven redundant parallel manipulators due to the dependency on geometry parameter...

Parallel manipulators have the advantage of high speed and high precision in the theory of mechanisms. This has opened up broad possibilities for the use of parallel manipulators in many fields. But in real applications, due to the inevitable manufacturing tolerances and assembling errors, the actual kinematic parameters of parallel manipulators are always unequal to the nominal values and cali...

Controllable workspace is one of the general workspace in the cabledriven redundant parallel manipulators due to the dependency on geometry parameter...

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) applications are highly demanding for parallel computing. Many such applications have been shifted from expensive MPP boxes to cost-effective clusters. Auto-CFD is a pre-compiler which transforms Fortran CFD sequential programs to efficient message-passing parallel programs running on clusters. Our work has the following three unique contributions. First, this...

The exploitation of social networks and collaborative systems as part of a process of information retrieval is a phenomenon that is gradually integrated into the practices of Internet research. These systems, emerging from the era of Web 2.0, allow participants to collaborate using keywords, tags, creating lightweight structures represented as tripartite hypergraphs of users, tags and resources...
