In this thesis a visual servoing approach for uncalibrated systems with 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) is evaluated. Assuming weak perspective, the observed motions of the robot end-effector are constrained to affine trans-formations in the image space. This allows us to express the control error directly in terms of an affine transformation in the camera images. By this approach, visual servoing i...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is considered a slow neuronal dysfunction process through hypoxia, ischemia and leads to apoptosis mediated senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). Due to non-invasive approach of plaque characterization, computational techniques based on Brownian dynamics simulation are unique to speculate the electrostatic and kinetic properties of Acetylcholinesterase (ACh...

This paper presents the design and implementation of a cyberinfrastructure for End-to-End Environmental Exploration (C4E4). The C4E4 framework addresses the need for an integrated data/computation platform for studying broad environmental impacts by combining heterogeneous data resources with state-of-the-art modeling and visualization tools. With Purdue being a TeraGrid Resource Provider, C4E4...

Many studies were investigated to grade outdoor thermal comfort and related sensation during the past years. This study aims explore conditions in hot Mediterranean climate (Csa), which annually includes 1100–1700 cooling degree days 1200–1800 heating (CDD = 1100–1700, HDD 1200–1800). research tested human by applying Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET) index. A field survey of 1230 inte...

We propose a general framework of a hierarchical structure, consisting of several levels of activities, for typical software related corporate hierarchy using multi-agent system. This work identifies the functionality of each level. Each and every level is considered as agent who is described further using fuzzy analysis. Our framework consists of six levels within which first five levels are c...

different types of iron oxides deposits have been identified along the khaf – dorouneh volcanic and plutonic belt in north east of iran. kuh-e-zar is one of these ore deposits known as fe- oxide gold deposit. the main purpose of this paper is to detect and discriminate the iron oxide minerals in this area based on the etm+ data. data processing has been done by envi (environment for visualizing...
