In the first part of this article, a short description of the most popular models of two competing technologies (the Fisher-Pry model and its modifications proposed by Blackman, Floyd, Sharif and Kabir) and the multi technological substitution models of Peterka and Marchetti-Nakiüenoviü are presented. In the second section, we describe an evolutionary model of diffusion processes based on biolo...

Trajectory tracking; Mobile robot; Differential evolution; Genetic algorithm; Fuzzy membership functions. Abstract Differential Evolution (DE) and Genetic Algorithms (GA) are population based search algorithms that come under the category of evolutionary optimization techniques. In the present study, these evolutionary methods have been utilized to conduct the optimum design of a fuzzy controll...

In this paper, the most recent Sharif University of Technology (SUT) speaker recognition system developed for NIST 2016 Speaker Recognition Evaluation (SRE) is described. The major challenge in this evaluation is the language mismatch between training and evaluation data. The submission is related to the fixed condition of NIST SRE 2016 and features a full description of the database and the sy...

This paper describes the submission to fixed condition of NIST SRE 2016 by Sharif University of Technology (SUT) team. We provide a full description of the systems that were included in our submission. We start with an overview of the datasets that were used for training and development. It is followed by describing front-ends which contain different VAD and feature types. UBM and i-vector extr...

in this paper an application of the cluster analysis technique in educational planning is demonstrated by means of a developed computer software with some characteristics of an expert system. the main idea is based on the knowledge-based systems which have been applied in group technology. the software is applied to weekly schedules of the courses and professors of the industrial engineering de...

Electric cable shovel excavator is widely used in the surface mining operations of oil sand and other highly abrasive formations. The oil sands mines in Alberta use P&H 4100 C Boss shovel [1,2] for their loading operations. The lower works of this shovel consist of propel and crawler systems [3-7]. The crawler system consists of a crawler track assembly, front and rear idlers, lower rollers and...

The essay explores whether concealing humanness or emphasizing is a more effective strategy for anti-drone activism that seeks to disrupt the conventional epistemologies of militarized surveillance. Building on Édouard Glissant’s decolonizing philosophy relation and recent theories gender surveillance such as Rachel Hall’s notion “animal opacity,” argues poetry one place we might find an answer...
