Low dilation embeddings are used to compare similarities between star and pancake networks. The pancake network of dimension n, Pn, has n! nodes, one for each permutation, and an undirected edge between permutations (nodes) when some prefix reversal transforms one permutation into the other. The star network of dimension n, Sn, has n! nodes, one for each permutation, and an undirected edge betw...

Mixed assumed stress finite elements (FEs) have shown good advantages over traditional displacement-based formulations in various contexts. However, their use incremental elasto-plasticity is limited by the need for return mapping schemes which preserve interpolation. For elastic-perfectly plastic materials and small deformation problems, integration of constitutive equation furnishes a closest...

This contribution presents the work in progress towards an active UWB antenna array with beamforming capabilities. Small pulse generators were designed, manufactured and placed directly underneath small uwb monopoles. We show preliminary results of the first measurement campaign with a single antenna and a group antenna in the time domain.

Each element of the hierarchy is a linked node in the tree. Commands, tasks and goals to be achieved flow down the tree from superior nodes to subordinate nodes, whereas sensations and command results flow up the tree from subordinate to superior nodes. Nodes may also exchange messages with their siblings. The two distinguishing features of a hierarchical control system are related to its layer...

background & objectives: colon cancer is currently of high incidence and mortality rate. identifying the factors influencing its prognosis can be very beneficial to its clinical treatment. recent studies have shown that lymph nodes ratio can be considered as an important prognostic factor. the aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of this factor on the prognosis of the patie...

Mapping between local and global coordinates is an important issue in finite element method, as all calculations are performed in local coordinates. The concern arises when subparametric are used, in which the shape functions of the field variable and the geometry of the element are not the same. This is particularly the case for * C elements in which the extra degrees of freedoms added to the ...

A new computerized test for ‘extrasensory perception’ (ESP) is designed use in everyday environments and draws on principles occultism to promote better results. Results suggest that induction techniques focus contribute ESP trial success, but are need of larger sample replication.
 Abstract
 The current study engaged a pilot data analysis the purpose examining newly developed E (Elem...
