this paper presents a method for identification of linear system physical parameters (structural mass, damping and stiffness matrices) using the inverse solution of equation of motion in the frequency domain, by focus on the reducing the illconditioning effect. the method utilizes the measured responses from the forced vibration test of structure in order to identify the system properties and d...

botrytis cinerea is an important pathogen that causes diseases in ornamental crops. in presentresearch several greenhouses of roses located in central region of iran were surveyed toidentify the botrytis cinerea. a total of 80 isolates were collected from rose greenhouses incentral region of iran. morphological identification was based on characters such asconidiophore and conidial length. acco...

objectives: speech and language development is one of the main aspects of evolution in humans and is one of the most complex brain functions such that it is referred to as one of the highest cortical functions such as thinking, reading and writing. speech and language disorders are considered as a major public health problem because they cause many secondary complications in the childhood and a...

Background: One of the challenges in construction is the occurrence of numerous accidents. In this regard, risk assessment can play an important role in reducing accidents. The aim of this study was to prepare comprehensive and quantitative checklists to determine the potential hazards in the construction phase. Materials and Methods: The present descriptive and analytical study was carried ...

Introduction: Smell Identification Tests (SIT) are routinely utilized for the clinical evaluation of olfactory function. Since Iran consists of various ethnic subgroups, the reliability and validity of this test as a national SIT are required to be evaluated across the country.   Materials and Methods: This cross-sectio...

This pilot study explores a new approach to automatic detection of figurative language. Our working hypothesis is that the problem of automatic identification of idioms (and metaphors, to some extent) can be reduced to the problem of identifying an outlier in a dataset. By an outlier we mean an observation which appears to be inconsistent with the remainder of a set of data.

This paper presents a technique to adapt an acoustically based language classifier to the background conditions and speaker accents. This adaptation improves language classification on a broad spectrum of TV broadcasts. The core of the system consists of an iVector-based setup in which language and channel variabilities are modeled separately. The subsequent language classifier (the backend) op...

RFID middleware is a cornerstone of non-trivial RFID deployments in complex heterogeneous environments. In this paper we present the principal middleware building blocks specified in the scope of the EPCglobal architecture. Alternative protocols and implementation frameworks for realizing these middleware blocks are also presented. At the same time we outline several middleware extensions to th...
