An effective procedure for the early detection and objective diagnosis of faults in turning machine cutting tools is described. The procedure involves the use of an inductive inference theory-based classification program called "Snob". The program objectively divides frequency spectra, generated from force measurements, into classes representing different cutting tool conditions. The estimated ...

Previous research indicates that self-help therapy is an effective method to prevent and treat unipolar depression. While web-based self-help therapy has many advantages, there are also disadvantages to self-help therapy, such as that it misses the possibility to regard the body language of the user, and the lack of personal feedback on the user responses. This study presents a virtual agent th...

Behavior simulation is an effective method to visualize the meaning of mechanical concepts and has been applied in many computer-aided education systems to visualize the mechanical concepts. These simulations aren't useful, however, for a learner who has already formulated an erroneous equation. In order to help the learner to recognize and correct the error, simulating the erroneous equation i...

An effective method for the synthesis of 7,8-epoxy-1,3,11-cembratriene15R(α),16-diol and its in vitro Epstein-Barr Virus Early Antigen (EBV-EA) Activation Chemopreventive Assay are reported. This semisynthetic product is a new cembranoid with a potent tumor inhibitory activity that is expected to be a lead compound for a new class of chemopreventive agents of marine origin.

The effectiveness of within-session and across-session variations of a progressive time delay procedure for teaching sight words was evaluated for five participants with cognitive delays. Participants were exposed to five target stimuli using two variations of progressive time delay procedures in an alternating treatments design, followed by the most effective variation being applied to teach a...

The orthomorphism on the Galois field is a kind of permutations that is the most widely used in crosscutting issue, the orthomorphic polynomials over the finite field is an effective method to study it, this study has obtained the coefficients relationship of the orthomorphisms over the Galois field by algebraic methods. In addition, this study have understood the maximal subgroup structure and...

Biometric based authentication for secured access to resources has gained importance, due to their reliable, invariant and discriminating features. Palmprint is one such biometric entity. Prior to classification and identification registering a sample palmprint is an important activity. In this paper we propose a computationally effective method for automated registration of samples from PlolyU...

We define a new notion of satisfaction of a temporal logic formula φ by a behavior w. This notion, denoted by (w, t, t′) |= φ, is characterized by two time parameters: the position t from which satisfaction is considered, and the end of the (finite) behavior t′ which indicates how much do we know about the behavior. We define this notion in dense time where φ is a formula in the future fragment...

A differential invariant is a function defined on the jet space of functions that remains the same under a group action. It is an important concept to solve the equivalence problem. This paper presents an effective method to derive a special type of affine differential invariants. Given some functions defined on the plane and an affine group acting on the plane, there are induced actions of the...

Linear aggregation in the input is an effective method to reduce the online computational burden of model predictive control (MPC) but at the cost of degradations in the closed-loop performance. In this paper, an improved aggregation-based MPC algorithm is developed to reduce these degradations. In this algorithm, a time-varying base vector is utilized in conjunction with the quasi-equivalent a...
