one of the simplest numerical integration method which provides a large saving in computational efforts, is the well known one-point Gauss quadrature which is widely used for 4 nodes quadrilateral elements. On the other hand, the biggest disadvantage to one-point integration is the need to control the zero energy modes, called hourglassing modes, which arise. The efficiency of four different an...

in this paper, by means of fuzzy approaches, an accurate method is introduced for edging of color photographs. the difference between our method with other similar methods is the use of a morphological operation to think or thick the obtained edges. in this proposed method, a 3×3 window is dragged on the photo. for each block, 12 point sets will be defined, each including two non-overlapping po...

Understanding how the brain integrates features from different domains that are processed in distinct cortical regions calls for the examination of integration processes. Recent studies of feature-repetition effects demonstrated interactions across perceptual features and action-related features: repeating only some features of the perception-action episode hinders performance. These partial-re...

Basic aim of innovating is to provide products and solutions meeting the expectations and needs of their customers and stakeholders. Therefore, customer integration methods provide means to integrate these actors into the innovation process for gathering information, supporting in decision making or creating and elaborating ideas or solutions. One central aspect in this regard is the selection ...

This paper is to evaluate and compare some of the fundamental metrics for selected ALU designs, covering both time and space complexity. The references examined consists of papers from 1999 to present. A total of ten different designs on ALU and Floating points are examined and compared. Some of the key components evaluated are clock rate, memory capacity, components, floating point, ALU, FPGA,...

We show how to use two existing methods of integration of a normal field in the absence of boundary condition, which makes them more realistic. Moreover, we show how perspective can be taken into account, in order to render the 3D-reconstruction more accurate. Finally, the joint use of both these methods of integration allows us to obtain very satisfactory results, from the point of view of CPU...

The Web of today can be seen as an active and heterogeneous infrastructure of autonomous systems, where reactivity, evolution and propagation of information and changes play a central role. In the same way as the main driving force for XML and the Semantic Web idea was the heterogeneity of the underlying data, the heterogeneity of concepts for expressing behavior calls for an appropriate handli...

The trend of cheaper ubiquitous and pervasive technology has reached a critical point. A standardized integration of devices in the context of a home environment will be possible in the near future. HomeOS is an attempt to provide a standard interface for a context-aware application and device integration system. HomeOS offers three key features: crossplatform application portability; applicati...

with the collapse of soviet :union:, central asian countries came into independence. the countries were neglected by russia during the first years after their formation. this encouraged other regional and trans-regional powers to interfere in the region and try to maximize their interests. shifting its foreign-policy process, russia kept its eyes on look-east policy and tried to prevent others ...

We address t he problem of designin g an d building efficient custo m Vl.Sl-besed processors to do computat ions on large multi -dimensional lat tices. The design t ra deoffs for two architectures which provid e practical engines for lattice updates are deri ved and an alyzed . We find t hat I/O constit utes t he principal bottleneck of processors des igned for lat t ice computations, and we de...
