Efforts to control motor vehicle theft have primarily focused on making it more difficult to steal vehicles (e.g., by installing car alarms, ignition “kill switches”, and GPS tracking systems), redesigning physical spaces where vehicles are located (e.g., better lighting, security checkpoints), and increasing the number of law enforcement programs designed to catch these offenders (Miethe, McCo...

The effect of acceleration – variable forward velocity, have been investigated on the steady-state and transient responses of turning vehicles and the resulted path of motion of the vehicle. Comparing the two mentioned responses of the vehicle could be used to prove that there is a negligible difference between the steady-state and transient centre of rotation of the vehicle in engineering appl...

In large-scale networking environments, such as data centers, a key difficulty is the assignment of labels to network elements. Labels can be assigned statically, e.g. MAC-addresses in traditional Layer 2 networks, or by a central authority as in DHCP in Layer 3 networks. On the other hand, networks requiring a dynamic solution often use a Consensus-based state machine approach. While designing...

In this paper, a novel method for ranking of fuzzy numbers are proposed. In this method, decision maker is defined based on the center of mass at some cuts of a pair of fuzzy numbers in discreet version and center of mass on all of cuts of a pair of fuzzy numbers in continuous version. Our method can rank more than two fuzzy numbers simultaneously. Also, some properties of methods are described...

here‎, ‎we aim to develop a new algorithm for solving a multiobjective linear programming problem‎. ‎the algorithm is to obtain a solution which approximately meets the decision maker's preferences‎. ‎it is proved that the proposed algorithm always converges to a weak efficient solution and at times converges to an efficient solution‎. ‎numerical examples and a simulation study are used to...

We assume that each valence quark in a nucleon is in a phenomenological modified harmonic oscillator potential of the form: ( l+yo) (ar +br+cr +dr ), where a, b, c and d are constants and ? is one of the Dirac matrices. Then by making use of a suitable ansatz, the Dirac equation has a very simple solution which is exact. We then have calculated the static properties of the nucleon in the ...

The development of communications and telecommunications infrastructure, followed by the extension of a new generation of smart distribution grids, has brought real-time control of distribution systems to electrical industry professionals’ attention. Also, the increasing use of distributed generation (DG) resources and the need for participation in the system voltage control, which is possible ...
