To date, an important role in many areas of economic activity is played by road freight transport. First all, it depends on how quickly and reliably the goods will be delivered from one place to another. With extensive list various that need transported, there no less a large selection vehicles perform these tasks.
 Due fact heavy trucks are currently prohibited entering most cities, low-t...

Abstract: All classical acceptance sampling plans were constructed with the proportion of defective that is crisp value. In the manufacturing processes, this parameter in a production lot may not be precis ely known. Hence it is meaningful to treat such parameter as fuzzy quantities. In this paper we have argued for the acceptance double sampling plan when the proportion of defective items is a...

In this work we present research on three topics which have implications for future robotic applications. Couched in learning from human provided examples, we study how robots can demonstrate learning curves akin to those observed for human students. Specifically we show how the parameters of robot learning curves relate to those parameters from learning curves generated by human students. Next...

ROC and DET curves are often used in the field of person authentication to assess the quality of a model or even to compare several models. We argue in this paper that this measure can be misleading as it compares performance measures that cannot be reached simultaneously by all systems. We propose instead new curves, called Expected Performance Curves (EPC). These curves enable the comparison ...

I present several algorithms for generating a reflectance curve from a specified sRGB triplet, written for a general audience. Although there are an infinite number of reflectance curves that can give rise to the specific color sensation associated with an sRGB triplet, the algorithms presented here are designed to generate reflectance curves that are similar to those found with naturally occur...

In this paper, we propose a general framework for constructing IGA-suitable planar B-spline parameterizations from given complex CAD boundaries consisting of a set of B-spline curves. Instead of forming the computational domain by a simple boundary, planar domains with high genus and more complex boundary curves are considered. Firstly, some pre-processing operations including Bézier extraction...

truncated gaussian simulation (tgs) is a well-known method to generate realizations of the ore domains located in a spatial sequence. in geostatistical framework geological domains are normally utilized for stationary assumption. the ability to measure the uncertainty in the exact locations of the boundaries among different geological units is a common challenge for practitioners. as a simple a...

pinch technology is one of the best methods for designing a multi stream heat exchanger(mshe) through a network; current pinch-based methods, however, lead to a larger and more complicateddesign problems. the major drawback of the current methods is they result in designs having more individual mshe sections than essential, correspond to the enthalpy intervals on temperature vs. enthalpy diagra...

background: palladium-103 (103pd) is a brachytherapy source for cancer treatment. the monte carlo codes are usually applied for dose distribution and effect of shieldings. monte carlo calculation of dose distribution in water phantom due to a med3633 103pd source is presented in this work. materials and methods: the dose distribution around the 103pd model med3633 located in the center of 30×30...

The vessel speed reduction program (VSRP) was first introduced in the Port of Los Angeles 2001 to improve air quality. In this study, an algorithm developed calculate ship emissions with a bottom-up approach based on activity using automatic identification system (AIS) data. target applied emission calculation participating Korea’s VSRP. Factors considered for were type, speed, gross tonnage, e...
