‎In the following text for arbitrary $X$ with at least two elements‎, ‎nonempty countable set $Gamma$‎ ‎we make a comparative study on the collection of generalized shift dynamical systems like $(X^Gamma,sigma_varphi)$ where $varphi:GammatoGamma$ is an arbitrary self-map‎. ‎We pay attention to sub-systems and combinations of generalized shifts with counterexamples regarding Devaney‎, ‎exact Dev...

introduction: incidence of sudden cardiac death (scd) has been steadily increasing all over the world. while knowing the cause of scd is one of the favorites of the physicians involved with these cases, it is very difficult and challenging task for the forensic physician. the present report is a prospective study regarding cause of scds on autopsy examination in four-year period, bangalore, ind...

In this paper, the free vibration analysis of moderately thick rectangular plates axially moving with constant velocity and subjected to uniform in-plane loads is investigated by the spectral finite element method. Two parallel edges of the plate are assumed to be simply supported and the remaining edges have any arbitrary boundary conditions. Using Hamilton’s principle, three equations of moti...

Semi-analytical solutions for vibration analysis of nonlocal piezoelectric Kirchhoff plates resting on viscoelastic foundation with arbitrary boundary conditions are derived by developing Galerkin strip distributed transfer function method. Based on the nonlocal elasticity theory for piezoelectric materials and Hamilton's principle, the governing equations of motion and boundary conditions are ...

Text detection in the real world images captured in unconstrained environment is an important yet challenging computer vision problem due to a great variety of appearances, cluttered background, and character orientations. In this paper, we present a robust system based on the concepts of Mutual Direction Symmetry (MDS), Mutual Magnitude Symmetry (MMS) and Gradient Vector Symmetry (GVS) propert...

the performance of dual-layer multiple tuned mass dampers (dl-mtmd) with uniformly distributed natural frequencies is investigated. the dl-mtmd consists of one large tuned mass damper (l-tmd) and an arbitrary number of small tuned mass dampers (s-tmd). the primary structure is represented as a single degree-of-freedom system which corresponds to a specific vibration mode to be controlled in a r...

5 Texts in a natural image directly carry rich high-level semantic information about a scene, which can 6 be used to assist a wide variety of applications, such as image understanding, image indexing and search, 7 geolocation or navigation, and human computer interaction. However, most existing text detection and 8 recognition systems are designed for horizontal or near-horizontal texts. With t...

Based on variational properties, we generalize the approximation properties of the univariate natural cubic spline to splines in arbitrary dimensions. In one dimension, the solution of the variational problem { given a = x1 < · · · < xN = b and values f(x1), . . . , f(xN ) in R, find a function s with s(xi)=f(xi), i=1, . . . ,N , that minimizes ‖s‖L2([a,b]) is given by the natural univariate cu...
