New technologies enable educators to modify their teaching methods and extend their reach beyond the classroom. One of these methods that can be applied to communicate with students is through the use of push notifications on smartphones. Instead of relying on students to use a spaced learning approach, which is proven to be more efficient than trying to study something in a short period of tim...

introduction the consequence of cooperation between environmental factors and circulation patterns in a long time can determine the arrangement of type and manner in humidity in geographical area. the knowledge about space dispersion in geographical areas assists preparing sound programming and proper environmental decision making. relative humidity is the most commonly used measurements of moi...

Thin-walled tube bending is still to be considered a new and advanced technique. The process has been adopted into several industries such as aero and automotive. This process may produce a wrinkling, bulking and tearing phenomenon if the process parameters are inappropriate, especially for tubes with large diameter and thin wall thickness. Push bending process is one of the methods used for be...

This paper addresses the problem of distributed optimization, where a network agents represented as directed graph (digraph) aims to collaboratively minimize sum their individual cost functions. Existing approaches for optimization over digraphs, such Push-Pull, require exchange explicit state values with neighbors in order reach an optimal solution. However, this can result disclosure sensitiv...

Abstract: In this study, a new analytical model is developed for an electrostatic Microelectromechanical System (MEMS) cantilever actuator to establish a relation between the displacement of its tip and the applied voltage. The proposed model defines the micro-cantilever as a rigid beam supported by a hinge at the fixed-end with a spring point force balancing the structure. The approach of the ...

This paper describes the participation of Information Retrieval Lab(IRLAB) at DA-IICT Gandhinagar,India in Real-Time Summarization track TREC 2016. This year TREC RTS offered two tasks. In the first task, that is scenario A, our system will be monitoring continuous posts from Twitter public stream and push the relevant tweet for each interest profile to RTS evaluation broker. For the same, we h...

Computing a maximum weighted stable set in a bipartite graph is considered wellsolved and usually approached with preflow-push, Ford-Fulkerson or network simplex algorithms. We present a combinatorial algorithm for the problem that is not based on flows. Numerical tests suggest that this algorithm performs quite well in practice and is competitive with flow based algorithms especially in the ca...

Practitioners assess performance of entities in increasingly large and complicated datasets. If non-parametric models, such as Data Envelopment Analysis, were ever considered as simple push-button technologies, this is impossible when many variables are available or when data have to be compiled from several sources. This paper introduces by the ‘COOPER-framework’ a comprehensive model for carr...

SPDY [2] is an application layer protocol developed for reducing web latency. It is estimated that about 3.6% of all websites use SPDY today [3], but that statistics hides how many web transactions use SPDY. It has rapidly gained adoption across Google, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, Reddit, and WordPress. While only a small fraction of all websites use SPDY today, SPDY-capable proxies are being dep...
