Traditionally, research into circuit-switched (C-S) networks has been divided into two areas, reliability and performance, each making little reference to the other. More recently, however, research has focused on unification of the two. One possible choice for a combined performance and reliability measure is the overall network grade-of-service (NGOS), i.e. the overall probability of blocking...

We present a generally symmetrical circuit model to describe all kinds of metamaterials with effective permittivity and permeability. The model is composed of periodic structures whose unit cell is a general T-type circuit. Using the effective medium theory, we derive analytical formulations for the effective permittivity and effective permeability of the circuit model, which are quite differen...

The averaged switch modeling technique unifies the modeling of PWM and resonant dc-dc converters, low-harmonic rectifiers, and inverters in a simple manner. This technique is briefly reviewed, and recent results in modeling current-programmed dc-dc converters, integrated single-phase low-harmonic rectifier-regulators, and single-switch three-phase lowharmonic rectifiers are described. A circuit...

  Abstract : The main objective of this study is estimating the strong motion for the Bam region using the stochastically based seismological models. The two widely used synthetic techniques namely point-source and finite-fault were utilized incorporating the source-path and site parameters into simple function. The decay factor kappa was estimated based on the data obtained from recorded stron...

We describe a discriminatively trained sequence alignment model based on the averaged perceptron. In common with other approaches to sequence modeling using perceptrons, and in contrast with comparable generative models, this model permits and transparently exploits arbitrary features of input strings. The simplicity of perceptron training lends more versatility than comparable approaches, allo...
