system dynamics is a strategic approach for modeling complex systems and analyzing their behavior. dynamic behavior in entrepreneurial system can be modeled using system dynamics approach and dynamic hypotheses about the system`s behavior can be proposed and tested using simulation and computer aided tools. however, as the review of literature shows, studies which link system dynamics modeling ...

A nonlinear behavior model of a charge-pump based frequency synthesizer is implemented and verified against a transistor level implementation in a mixed circuit simulator. The presented behavior model is shown to be drastically faster while still giving an accurate prediction of the acquisition process. The model reliance is assured by identifying and implementing the nonlinear characteristics ...

Macro Fiber Composites (MFC) are planar actuators comprised of PZT fibers embedded in an epoxy matrix that is sandwiched between electrodes. Due to their construction, they exhibit significant durability and flexibility in addition to being lightweight and providing broadband inputs. They are presently being considered for a range of applications including positioning and control of membrane mi...

Dynamic texture (DT) widely exists in various social video media. Therefore, DT modeling and synthesis plays an important role in social media analyzing and processing. In this paper, we propose a Bayesian-based nonlinear dynamic texture modeling method for dynamic texture synthesis. To capture the non-stationary distribution of DT, we utilize the Gaussian process latent variable model for dime...

Architectural limitations in many situations make it necessary for the RC shear walls to be extended in plan in different directions at a single location that makes them a 3D configuration. Analysis of such walls is very challenging. In this research about 450 cases of 3D shear walls are considered with different shapes and heights. L, T and H-shape walls are studied. They are nonlinearly analy...
