Frequency response diagrams of a system include detailed and recognizable information about the structural and parameter effects of the transfer function model of the system. The information are qualitatively and quantitatively obtainable from simultaneous consideration of amplitude ratio and phase information. In this paper, some rules and relationships are presented for making use of frequenc...

The current state of the art thermal particle measurements in solar wind are insufficient to address many long standing, fundamental physical processes. is a weakly collisional ionized gas experiencing collective effects due long-range electromagnetic forces. Unlike collisionally mediated fluid like Earth’s atmosphere, not thermodynamic or equilibrium. For that reason, exhibits multiple populat...

introduction: oral diseases are the most prevalent diseases probable at any age. they are chronic in nature and expensive to care.  accurate, comprehensive, well-structured, well-managed data is required to control and prevent oral diseases, clinical audit, quality of patient care, and administrative, financial, research and legal goals fulfillment we need. in dentistry, data collection would p...

Objectives: An efficient, safe, affordable and easily accessible measuring instrument for quantitative assessment of bone prior to dental implant placement enables more accurate treatment planning. Costly imaging modalities are neither widely available, nor affordable for some patients. This study sought to assess the efficacy of a newly designed digital bone gauge for measurement of bone width...

in this paper, simultaneous control of source terms is considered in a vibrational string problem.in the considered problem, the terms to be controlled are the force and the initial velocity functions. we statethe generalized (weak) solution about the considered problem. the existence and uniqueness of the solutionfor optimal control problem is investigated. the frechet derivative of the functi...
