the increasing of software’s quality is a significant issue that attracts the attention of many researchers in this field. they are looking for a modeling that meets the users trust and reliance on software. therefore, the demand for high reliability software development has been increased as well. having suitable design, increasing reliability is required. coupling and cohesion are of among di...

purpose: to evaluate changes in graft steepness after graft refractive surgery (grs) and to discover influential factors and a coefficient to predict the amount of postoperative shift. methods: keratoconic patients with history of penetrating keratoplasty (pkp) who underwent grs due to high post-pkp astigmatism were included. changes in mean keratometry after grs were evaluated to find possible...

In this work the dressed quark propagators and approximation schemes are guided by the Dyson-Schwinger equation (DSE) approach to non-perturbative QCD modeling of hadron physics. This covariant QCD phenomenology has proved to be quite efficient for low-mass mesons and their form factors. To expedite investigations we make use of a convenient parameterization of confining solutions of quark DSEs...

The inter-group entrainment study by Lucas, Clayton, and Leante (2011) is an interesting research report that advances studies in both empirical ethnomusicology and entrainment research in several ways, and provides an important addition to the much needed empirical case studies on musical entrainment. I submit that the authors’ analysis of an instant of resistance to entrainment is a key demon...

A coupling game is a new model for partly cooperative and partly non-cooperative games. This paper describes benefits that result when coupling rational cooperation, under some situations, is increased. We prove that if a coupling game is strictly rational and partly cooperative, the higher the coupling factors, the larger the social payoff, which is the sum of the payoffs of all players. Other...

This study presents a designing process for refurbishing of a 32 MW rotor-generator damaged coupling. The reason of rotor damage was being hit by the quivers of an explosion. The original coupling was union with the rotor formed after a machining process on a mono block forged rotor. In some areas imposed damages caused the breaking off and detachment of some parts in the coupling flange. Becau...
