In this research, the modal parameters of a beam in free-free condition are extracted by performing different experiments in laboratory. For this purpose, two different techniques are employed. The first methodology is considered as a time domain method in Operational Modal Analysis. While the other one is frequency domain impact hammer test which is categorized as an Experimental Modal Analysi...

BACKGROUND Previous research suggests that visual and haptic object recognition are viewpoint-dependent both within- and cross-modally. However, this conclusion may not be generally valid as it was reached using objects oriented along their extended y-axis, resulting in differential surface processing in vision and touch. In the present study, we removed this differential by presenting objects ...

While basic design principles tend to be visually oriented, a user-centred design perspective focuses on the product experience and hence is multi-sensory. Moreover, the sensory qualities of products can relate to perceived product personalities. This paper describes a pilot investigation in a design principles course. We used an existing product personality tool for evaluating perceptions asso...

This paper presents a comprehensive description of non-finite verbs in Assamese, language that belongs to the Indo-Aryan family. Non-finite exist multi-verb constructions, which include both single and multi-clausal constructions. In clauses, they occur with different auxiliaries carry various aspectual modal meanings. on other hand, dependent clauses mark syntactic relations have main clause. ...

Humanism in modern western civilization is a fundamental idea. Underlying root, perhaps, in contradiction of the contemporary West with the Iran Islamic Revolution hidden in the humanistic nature of modernity, since the modern west pivotal view in all dimensions of life is humanistic, and human-like rather than God-oriented one. To this aim, a critical method used. Humanism has two meanings: fi...

Bisimulations and van Benthem’s celebrated theorem provide a direct insight how truth preserving operations in modal logics work. Apart from bisimulations, there are several other operations in basic modal logic that preserve the truth (Blackburn et al., 2001). However, there is a problem. Given a modal model, and several bisimilar copies of it, there is no method to compare or measure the diff...

In this paper I discuss the properties of tense as a grammatical feature, understood as a set of values and the methods of their realization on linguistic elements. I outline the criteria for recognizing various featural dependencies: agreement, government, and different types of multirepresentation of a feature value in a domain. I examine more closely three instances of tense-aspect-mood-pola...

The study of situated systems that are capable of reactive and goaldirected behaviour has received increased attention in recent years. One approach to the design of such systems is based upon agent-oriented architectures, in which the system is viewed as a rational agent having certain mental attitudes. The description of these mental attitudes has led to the development of expressive logics t...
