the map and the model designed by a designer and presented to a manufacturer in the form of a map is the result of his knowledge and innovation. the manufacturer, in turn, uses his best effort to produce a part accordingly. however, because of production problems and raw material, producing a precise part is very difficult and costly. one of the most important problems in this regard is designi...

Video image detection systems (VIDS) provide an opportunity to analyse complex traffic scenes that are captured by stationary video cameras. Our work concentrates on the derivation of traffic relevant parameters from vehicle trajectories. This paper examines different procedures for the description of vehicle trajectories using analytical functions. Derived conical sections (circles, ellipses a...

The literature on human turning preferences is inconsistent. While the few studies with children below 14 years of age uniformly describe an overall left-turning (counterclockwise) tendency, a recent Internet study with more than 1500 adults found a right-sided (clockwise) bias. We set out to investigate spontaneous turning behaviour in children age 5-3 years and, based on neuropsychiatric work...

Even though the process approach to organization design gains increased popularity, there is still a lack of methodologies for managing the migration process from functional, hierarchical organizations to process networks. While current change management approaches, such as BPR, often emphasize an organizational redesign “from scratch”, i.e. a total disregard of the current structure, combined ...

Caenorhabditis elegans exhibits spontaneous motility in isotropic environments, characterized by periods of forward movements punctuated at random by turning movements. Here, we study the statistics of turning movements-deep Omega-shaped bends-exhibited by swimming worms. We show that the durations of intervals between successive Omega-turns are uncorrelated with one another and are effectively...

this paper presents the findings of experimental investigations into the effects of cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut and approach angle on the machinability of titanium (grade-5) alloy. also the comparison for the two different cutting materials inserts polycrystalline diamond (pcd) and cubic boron nitride (cbn) with similar tool geometry for similar machining parameters is also carried o...

Austenitic stainless steels (AISI316) are used for many commercial and industrial applications for their excellent corrosive resistance. AISI316 is generally difficult to machine material due to their high strength and high work hardening tendency. Tool wear (TW) and surface roughness (SR) are broadly considered the most challenging phases causing poor quality in machining. Optimization of cutt...

Optimization of turning process is a non-linear optimization with constrains and it is difficult for the conventional optimization algorithms to solve this problem. The purpose of present study is to demonstrate the potential of Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) for optimization of multipass turning process. This algorithm is inspired by competition mechanism among imperialists and coloni...
