this research was performed to determine the efficiency effect of sedimentary environment of kerman city area on soil structure bycomparing natural and reconstituted consolidation curves. in this regard, four different criteria such as sensitivity strength, stresssensitivity, schmertman criteria and the result of the uniaxial compression test were used. the base of these criteria is to compare ...

Usually, in make-to-order environments which work only in response to the customer’s orders, manufacturers for maximizing the profits should offer the best price and delivery time for an order considering the existing capacity and the customer’s sensitivity to both the factors. In this paper, an integrated approach for pricing, delivery time setting and scheduling of new arrival orders are prop...

background : sensitivity is an important dosimetric issue particularly in personal dosimetry where the range of doses is often very low to medium. in-service aging is assumed to be of negligible effect on the response of thermoluminescent dosimeters (tld), consequently, some service providers may mix fresh tlds to in-use ones and simply normalize the readings of tlds through batch calibration. ...

nurses are often faced with serious situations that require high levels of legal and ethical knowledge, and should therefore be sensitive to the moral issues in their profession in the decision making process. some studies have investigated nurses’ moral self-concept as an effective factor in moral sensitivity, but there is not sufficient evidence to support this. the purpose of this study was ...

Background: Malaria is still account for 200 million cases annually. Microscopy is the gold standard technique for malaria parasites detection. PCR-based techniques can detect malaria infections with high sensitivity. The study aimed to evaluate the sensitivity of microscopy technique in the detection of P. falciparum and P. vivax, using monoplex real-time PCR, Gezira State, Central Sudan. Met...

In this paper, an approximate solution of sensitivity matrix of required velocity with final velocity constraint is derived using a piecewise linear gravity assumption. The total flight time is also fixed for the problem. Simulation results show the accuracy of the method. Increasing the midway points for linearization, increases the accuracy of the solution, which this, in turn, depends on the...

this article presents a fuzzy robust mixed - sensitivity gain - scheduled h controller based on the loop -shaping methodology for a class of mimo uncertain nonlinear time - varying systems. in order to design this controller, the nonlinear parameter - dependent plant is first modeled as a set of linear subsystems by takagi and sugeno’s (t - s) fuzzy approach. both loop - shaping methodology and...
