Nowadays, automakers have invested in new technologies in order to improve the efficiency of their products. Giant automakers have taken an important step toward achieving this objective by designing continuously variable transmission systems (CVT) to continuously adapt the power of the engine with the external load according to the optimum efficiency curve of e...

art has not been extensively discussed in the islamic tradition, except a few instances in the islamic jurisprudence. there is no discussion of the essence or definition of art in islamic scholarly spheres, including philosophical spheres. one can find nothing comparable to the philosophy of art as found in the western philosophy, especially after the eighteenth century, in the philosophical or...

Based on the research on Service Unit based Network Architecture (SUNA), this paper presents a Micro-Communication Element System (MCES) which is a new interconnecting network system and is easy for applications and users from TCP/IP environment to be converted into. MCES is constructed of organized micro-communication elements, and the entire network system consists of many micro-communication...

For an ill-posed problem which has its origin in several applications (e.g. electro-cardiology) a weak formulation is given over a Hilbert space without any constraints. This is achieved by means of Lagrangian multipliers. Beside theoretical questions (e.g. existence and uniqueness of a solutuion) a nite element approximation is considered. Error estimates, an investigation of the condition num...

Recently, “renormalized entropy” was proposed as a novel measure of relative entropy (P. Saparin et al., Chaos, Solitons & Fractals 4, 1907 (1994)) and applied to several physiological time sequences, including EEGs of patients with epilepsy. We show here that this measure is just a modified Kullback-Leibler (K-L) relative entropy, and it gives similar numerical results to the standard K-L entr...

We consider time-dependent flow problems discretized with higher order finite element methods. Applying a fully implicit time discretization or an IMEX scheme leads to a saddle point system. This linear system is solved using a preconditioned Krylov method, which is fully parallelized on a distributed memory parallel computer. We study a robust block-triangular preconditioner and beside numeric...

1. introduction the presence of some woman beside epic and mythical persons has been a widely common feature in many epicsas, for instance, ohrmazd with spenta armaiti or ahriman accompanied byjahi; jamshid, also, is blessed with his own sisters or daughters and freydun and kai khosrow with the mother as well. in these cases, the hero is led to success and fortune with the help of a feminine el...

The concern about environmental impact of business activities has spurred an interest in designing environmentally conscious supply chains. This paper proposes a multi-objective fuzzy mathematical programming model for designing an environmental supply chain under inherent uncertainty of input data in such problem. The proposed model is able to consider the minimization of multiple environmenta...
