In many applications, old data in time series become less important as time elapses, which is a big challenge to traditional techniques for dimension reduction. To improve Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) for effective dimension reduction in this kind of applications, a new method, largest-latest-DWT, is designed by keeping the largest k coefficients out of the latest w coefficients at each lev...

In this paper the swing-up problem for the Furuta pendulum is solved applying Fradkov’s speed-gradient (SG) method [1, 9] to a dimension 4 model of the system. The new law is compared with the conventional Åström-Furuta strategy, based on a dimension 2 model. A comparative analysis, including simulations and experiments, whereby the advantages and effectiveness of the new law for swinging the p...

A resilient soft liner (RSL) has been used in processed complete dentures but controlling its thickness has always been a challenge because of uneven reduction of the denture’s intaglio surface. Use of a thermoplastic vacuum-formed template and an endodontic K-file, as guides, for the reduction of a processed mandibular complete denture to receive RSL is described in the present report. A proce...

To process the vibration signal fault diagnosis automatically and effectively, a method to calculate the generalized fractal dimension (Dq) based on the traditional G-P correlation dimension algorithm is presented. First, the vibration signal, a kind of random fractal that meets the statistical self-similarity, is reconstructed according to the phase space reconstruction theory. Second, for var...

We present the first tree-based regressor whose convergence rate depends only on the intrinsic dimension of the data, namely its Assouad dimension. The regressor uses the RPtree partitioning procedure, a simple randomized variant of k-d trees.

We define and studyco-Noetherian dimension of rings for which the injective envelopeof simple modules have finite Krull-dimension. This  is a Moritainvariant dimension that measures how far the ring is from beingco-Noetherian. The co-Noetherian dimension of certain rings,including commutative rings, are determined. It is shown that the class ${mathcal W}_n$ of rings with co-Noetherian dimension...

Background: In the present era, training is one of the most complex tasks in the human resource management of organizations and also one of the factors in organizational productivity. This study was conducted to identify the dimensions and components of adequate training of nurses with an emphasis on psychological empowerment. Materials and Methods: The present study is quantitative and qualit...
