in this paper, a new topology is proposed for three-phase to single-phase matrix converters, where more voltage levels are produced in the output in comparison with the conventional topologies. in addition, a new control method based on minimum error between the generated and the desired output voltages is proposed for three-phase to single-phase matrix converters. in the proposed control metho...

We present a method for the recognition of walking people in monocular image sequences based on the extraction of coordinates of specific point locations on the body. The method works by a comparison of sequences of recorded coordinates with a library of sequences from different individuals. The comparison is based on the evaluation of view invariant and calibration independent view consistency...

In the Asemi-gawa area of intermediate high-pressure and low-temperature Sanbagawa metamorphic belt in central Shikoku, Japan, piemontite-quartz schists are common in which cation exchange between piemontite and garnet has been studied. Piemontite in contact with garnet usually contains two zones in which core is enriched in Mn3+ and surrounded by a rim rich in Fe3+. Garnet is Ca-Fe-bearing spe...

An iterative algorithm is constructed to solve the generalized coupled Sylvester matrix equations AXB − CYD,EXF − GYH M,N , which includes Sylvester and Lyapunov matrix equations as special cases, over generalized reflexive matrices X and Y . When the matrix equations are consistent, for any initial generalized reflexive matrix pair X1, Y1 , the generalized reflexive solutions can be obtained b...

In this paper, deriving the fuzzy weights of criteria from the fuzzy pair-wise comparison matrix with triangular fuzzy elements is investigated. In the proposed method we first use the ranking function to convert the triangular fuzzy data into crisp one. Then by using the goal programming method we derive the fuzzy weights of criteria. We propose two new methods, and it is shown that these meth...

Introduction of graphic representation for nucleotide or protein sequences can provide intuitive overall pictures as well as useful insights for performing large-scale similarity analysis. In this paper, we are analyzing the similarity/dissimilarity of the mitochondrial genome sequences from twenty four mammal species. The analysis is important in finding the relatedness among the species and e...

A preference matrix is the result of pairwise comparison and is a powerful method in multi-criteria optimization. When comparing two elements, the decision maker assigns the value from a given scale which is a linearly ordered Abelian group (Alogroup) to any pair of alternatives representing the element of the preference matrix (P-matrix). The well known multiplicative, additive and fuzzy prefe...

Two non-interacting qubits are coupled to an environment. Both coupling and environment are represented by random matrix ensembles. The initial state of the pair is a Bell state, though we also consider arbitrary pure states. Decoherence of the pair is evaluated analytically in terms of purity; Monte Carlo calculations confirm these results and also yield the concurrence of the pair. Entangleme...
