in this paper, a new alternative method for order reduction of high order systems is presented based on optimization of multi objective fitness function by using harmony search algorithm. at first, step response of full order system is obtained as a vector, then, a suitable fixed structure considered for model order reduction which order of original system is bigger than fixed structure model. ...

This paper gives a widely applicable technique for solving many of the parameter estimation problems encountered in geometric computer vision. A commonly used approach in such parameter minimization is to minimize an algebraic error function instead of a possibly preferable geometric error function. It is claimed in this paper, however, that minimizing algebraic error will usually give excellen...

We have evaluated the Technicon AutoAnalyzer method, the Beckman Creatinine Analyzer II, DuPont aca, Electro-Nucleonics GEMSAEC, and Instrumentation Laboratory Model 916 kinetic methods for determination of serum creatinine. These methods, which involve the Jaffé reaction, all showed a statistically significant proportional error relative to an ion-exchange pretreatment method for creatinine in...
