Nowadays vast quantities of data are stored as a result of the operation of software systems and devices. The analysis of this data can provide valuable insights. In the field of Business Process Management, event logs may provide valuable information for business process improvement. This is the realm of process mining, an area which has provided many analysis techniques over the past decade. ...

this paper is an attempt to explore the prepositions used to encode the agent in persian passive constructions. according to givón (1983) the main function of the passive constructions is to defocus the agent. as the general trend in persian is to omit this defocused agent, we will stylistically divide the passive constructions into two main sub branches, namely unmarked and marked passives acc...

the harmonic in distribution systems becomes an important problem due to an increase in nonlinear loads. this paper presents a new approach based on a graph algorithm for optimum placement of passive harmonic filters in a multi-bus system, which suffers from harmonic current sources. the objective of this paper is to minimize the network loss, the cost of the filter and the total harmonic disto...

objective: in this article, a numerical study is conducted on mixing of two fluids in the liquid phase with two different concentrations of a chemical species in the electro-osmotic flow. methods: the base liquid is an electrolyte which flows in a two-dimensional micro-channel having electrically charged walls. lorentz electric force, which is used as stimulating flow factor, is created by appl...

this paper studies the effect of flexible linear torso on the dynamics of passive quadruped bounding. a reduced-order passive and conservative model with linear flexible torso and springy legs is introduced. the model features extensive spine deformation during high-speed bounding, resembling those observed in a cheetah. fixed points corresponding to cyclic bounding motions are found and calcul...

one of the main principles of the passive defense is the principle of site selection. in this paper, we propose a multiple objective nonlinear programming model that considers the principle of the site selection in terms of two qualitative and quantitative aspects. the purpose of the proposed model is selection of the place of facilities of a system in which not only it observes the dispersion ...

Virtual environment navigation can be improved through the use of a navigational aid. In this study two different navigational aids, one active aid and one passive aid, were tested. An eye-tracking apparatus was used to collect fixation data on each navigational aid, in addition to task performance data and user preference data. It was hypothesized that participants using the passive navigation...

This paper brings the following three main contributions: a hierarchy of specifications for replication techniques, semi-passive replication, and Lazy Consensus. Based on the definition of the Generic Replication problem, we define two families of replication techniques: replication with parsimonious processing (e.g., passive replication), and replication with redundant processing (e.g., active...

For shielding applications that cannot sufficiently be shielded by only a passive shield, it is useful to combine a passive and an active shield. Indeed, the latter does the “finetuning” of the field reduction that is mainly caused by the passive shield. The design requires the optimization of the geometry of the passive shield, the position of all coils of the active shield, and the real and i...
