Ultra Wideband Antenna Array Processing Under Spatial Aliasing. (August 2007) Alireza Shapoury, B.S., Shahid Beheshti University of Iran; M.S., Iran University of Science and Technology Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Erchin Serpedin Given a certain transmission frequency, Shannon spatial sampling limit defines an upper bound for the antenna element spacing. Beyond this bound, the exceeded amb...

The effective cost management during the conceptual design phase of a product is essential to develop a product with minimum cost and desired quality. The integration of the methodologies of quality function deployment (QFD), value engineering (VE) and target costing (TC) could be applied to the continuous improvement of any product during product development. To optimize customer satisfaction ...

We establish an explicit formula for the maximum value of the product of parts for partitions of a positive integer into distinct parts (sequence A034893 in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences).

One of the most commonly used statistical models for characterizing the variations of tree diameter at breast height is Weibull distribution. The usual approach for estimating parameters of a statistical model is the maximum likelihood estimation (likelihood method). Usually, this works based on iterative algorithms such as Newton-Raphson. However, the efficiency of the likelihood method is not...

Top-k maximum inner product search (MIPS) is a central task in many machine learning applications. This work extends top-k MIPS with budgeted setting, that asks for the best approximate given limited budget of computational operations. We investigate recent advanced sampling algorithms, including wedge and diamond sampling, to solve MIPS. First, we show essentially combination basic Our theoret...

The optimum road spacing has been studied by many researches. It is an important step of forest road network planning. The goals of this study are determining the optimum road spacing in Kheiroudkenar forest of Nowshahr in Northern Iran and study of effect of kind of skidder on skidding cost and road spacing. Continues time study method was used to determine the production rate of TAF and Timbe...
