Traditionally, radiant enclosures have been designed using a forward " trial-and-error " methodology. Recently, however, inverse and optimization methodologies have been applied to design radiant enclosures. Both of these methodologies solve the design problem faster, and the quality of the solutions is usually better than those obtained through the forward design methodology. This paper presen...

Growing amount of information on biological sequences has made application of statistical approaches necessary for modeling and estimation of their functions. In this paper, sensitivity and specificity of the first and second Markov chains for prediction of genes was evaluated using the complete double stranded  DNA virus. There were two approaches for prediction of each Markov Model parameter,...

This article presents a fuzzy robust Mixed - Sensitivity Gain - Scheduled H controller based on the Loop -Shaping methodology for a class of MIMO uncertain nonlinear Time - Varying systems. In order to design this controller, the nonlinear parameter - dependent plant is first modeled as a set of linear subsystems by Takagi and Sugeno’s (T - S) fuzzy approach. Both Loop - Shaping methodology and...

growing amount of information on biological sequences has made application of statistical approaches necessary for modeling and estimation of their functions. in this paper, sensitivity and specificity of the first and second markov chains for prediction of genes was evaluated using the complete double stranded  dna virus. there were two approaches for prediction of each markov model parameter,...

In this paper, the electrical characteristics and sensitivity analysis of staggered type p-channel heterojunction electron-hole bilayer tunnel field effect transistor (HJ-EHBTFET) are thoroughly investigated via simulation study. The minimum lattice mismatch between InAs/GaAs0.1Sb0.9 layers besides low carrier effective mass of materials provides high probability ...

Leaky guided modes propagating along embedded fibers in a composite material can be used for characterizing the fiber-matrix interface. This principle can be applied to real composites containing small-diameter fibers by using laser interferometric detection of very fine lateral resolution on the order of a few microns. The main purpose of this paper is to develop the analytical tools needed to...

PURPOSE To compare the performance of standard automated perimetry (SAP), frequency-doubling technology (FDT) perimetry, and short-wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP) in detecting glaucoma. METHODS One hundred thirty-two eyes of 95 glaucoma patients and 37 normal subjects had retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) imaging and visual field testing by SAP, Matrix FDT perimetry, and Swedish interact...

Headspace solid-phase microextraction (SPME) is a fast and simple sampling method for analysis of volatile compounds, but quantitation can be affected by sample matrix and sampling conditions. Sampling time and temperature are particularly important in controlling analyte response, and the effects vary for different compound classes and volatilities. Tests with model solutions containing a rang...
