in this paper we apply hybrid functions of general block-pulse‎ ‎functions and legendre polynomials for solving linear and‎ ‎nonlinear multi-order fractional differential equations (fdes)‎. ‎our approach is based on incorporating operational matrices of‎ ‎fdes with hybrid functions that reduces the fdes problems to‎ ‎the solution of algebraic systems‎. ‎error estimate that verifies a‎ ‎converge...

this paper is in search of designing the cellular manufacturing systems (cmss) under dynamic and flexible environment. cm is proper for small-to-medium lot production environment that helps the companies to produce variable kind of productions with at least scraps. the most important benefits of cm are decline in material handling, reduction in work-in-process, reduction in set-up time, increme...

in this paper, we present a fourth order method for computing simple roots of nonlinear equations by using suitable taylor and weight function approximation. the method is based on weerakoon-fernando method [s. weerakoon, g.i. fernando, a variant of newton's method with third-order convergence, appl. math. lett. 17 (2000) 87-93]. the method is optimal, as it needs three evaluations per ite...

International Journal of Exercise Science 7(4) : 260-­270, 2014. Change-­of-­direction speed (CODS) is an important quality to performance in multi-­direction sports. The relationship between CODS in the frontal plane and power, strength, and reactive strength is largely unstudied. Twenty-­three male college students participated in this study. The study used a -­moment correlation to measure t...

Several functional areas are proposed to reside in human lateral occipitotemporal cortex, including the motion-selective human homolog of macaque area MT (hMT), object-form-selective lateral occipital complex (LO), and body-selective extrastriate body area (EBA). Indeed, several functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have reported significant activation overlap among these regions...

[Purpose] This study aimed to examine the relationship between maximal lateral reaching distance on the affected side and weight shifting using the Multi-directional Reach Test in persons with stoke. [Subjects] Fifty-one chronic stroke participants were recruited from two rehabilitation hospitals. This study administered the Berg Balance Scale, Timed Up-and-Go, Trunk Impairment Scale, Modified ...

Emerging multi-issue microprocessors require effective data supply to sustain multiple instruction processing. The data cache structure, the backbone of data supply, has been organized and managed as one large homogenous resource, offering little flexibility for selective caching. While memory latency hiding techniques and multi-ported caches are critical to effective data supply, we show in th...
