In this paper with the help of different empirical models we have estimated the value of monthly average global solar irradiation for Ranchi (23.3500 ̊N, 85.3300 ̊E), a tropical location. The values of monthly average global solar radiation are calculated using the regression constants in the models (both linear and quadratic) suggested by: AngstromPrescott, Rietveld, Ogleman, Akinoglu, Glover, G...

Ficus microcarpa is an Asian fig tree that is ornamentally cultivated. The specific pollinator, Eupristina verticillata Waterston, and the non-pollinators Walkerella microcarpae Boucek and Philotrypesis emeryi Grandi, have been reported associated to F. microcarpa in Brazil. In here we report for the first time the occurrence of Odontofroggatia ishii Wiebes and Philotrypesis taiwanensis Chen et...

Distance geometry is a branch of geometry which puts the concept of distance at its core. The fundamental problem of distance geometry asks to find a realization of a finite, but partially specified, metric space in a Euclidean space of given dimension. An associated problem asks the same question in a Euclidean space of any dimension. Both problems have many applications to science and enginee...

For many distributed autonomous robotic systems, it is important to maintain communication connectivity among the robots. That is, each robot must be able to communicate with each other robot, perhaps through a series of other robots. Ideally, this property should be robust to the removal of any single robot from the system. In (Ahmadi & Stone 2006a) we define a property of a team’s communicati...

Variable block size ME (VBSME) is adopted in H.264, to achieve significant video quality and coding efficiency. However, the VBSME requires much higher computational complexity than the fixed block size ME (FBSME). In H.264, tree-structured block sizes are employed (Ahmadi et al 2008). Each 16x16 macro block (MB) can be coded in 16 x 16, 16 x 8, 8 x 16, or 8 x 8 block modes. If 8 x 8 modes are ...

Platinum nanoparticles with a high percentage of cubic-, tetrahedraland octahedral-like shapes, respectively, have been synthesized by a shape-controlling technique that we developed recently [Ahmadi et al., Science 272 (June 1996) 1924]. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) is used here to directly image the atomic scale structures of the surfaces of these particles with di...

Sassan Ahmadi and Andreas S. Spanias Department of Electrical Engineering Telecommunications Research Center Arizona State University Tempe, AZ 85287-7206 USA ABSTRACT A new phase modeling algorithm for sinusoidal analysis and synthesis of speech signals is presented. Short-time sinusoidal phases are e ciently approximated by incorporating linear prediction, spectral sampling, delay compensatio...

His is contrary to current phenomenon, so purpose this find out maqashid Sya'roni's regarding better women at home, and when they leave house, there must be a companion or surveillance. used descriptive analysis through maqashidi Abdul Mustaqim approach. The results were o...
