Deterring the optimum design of large-scale structures is a difficult task. Great number of design variables, largeness of the search space and controlling great number of design constraints are major preventive factors in performing optimum design of large-scale truss structures in a reasonable time. Meta-heuristic algorithms are known as one of the useful tools to d...

This paper deals with Hybrid multisite testing of VLSI chips by utilizing automatic test equipment (ATE) in connection with built-in self-test (BIST). The performance of a multisite testing process is analyzed using device-under-test (DUT) parameters (such as yield and average number of faults per DUT) as well as test process features (such as number of channels, coverage and touchdown time for...

nowadays, quality control of bread, especially in large scale production, requires application of novel methods. in this research, image analysis of digital images of barbary bread enriched with soy flour was carried out at two storage intervals. using imagej software, crumb features (mean cell area and void fraction) were computed for each image. fractal dimensions of bread crumb images were m...

The data grid technology, which uses the scale of the Internet to solve storage limitation for the huge amount of data, has become one of the hot research topics. Recently, data replication strategies have been widely employed in distributed environment to copy frequently accessed data in suitable sites. The primary purposes are shortening distance of file transmission and achieving files from ...

The mutual experience of European architecture during the transmission phase of Romanesque (around 11th and 12th centuries) to Gothic style simultaneous with Mongol invasions and political revolution from Seljuk empire to Ilkhanids have been assumed as a turning point through Iranian and European architecture. Thus, clarifying its mutual properties is one of the controversial discussion topics ...

Risk response planning is one of the main phases in the project risk management and has major impacts on the success of a large-scale project. Since projects are unique, and risks are dynamic through the life of the projects, it is necessary to formulate responses of the important risks. The conventional approaches tend to be less effective in dealing with the impreciseness of risk response p...
