The explicitly restarted Arnoldi method (ERAM) can be used to find some eigenvalues of large and sparse matrices. However, it has been shown that even this method may fail to converge. In this paper, we present two new methods to accelerate the convergence of ERAM algorithm. In these methods, we apply two strategies for the updated initial vector in each restart cycles. The implementation of th...

Objectives. The aim of this study is to introduce a new way and assign its reliability and validity in measuring the angle of hallux valgus. Methods. In this method, we have proceeded to introduce a simple way for measuring the angle of hallux valgus by using ruler and mathematical formulas. For doing this study, we selected 25students and measured their angle of hallux valgus with new way ...

geospatial information system (gis) has emerged as a very powerful tool for capturing, storing, analyzing, managing, and presenting data that is linked to location. the location information, which is usually obtained from existing maps or the global positioning systems (gps), refers to different coordinate and map projection systems. therefore, unification of the coordinate and mapping systems ...

ranking fuzzy numbers plays a very important role in linguistic decision making and other fuzzy application systems. in spite of many ranking methods, no one can rank fuzzy numbers with human intuition consistently in all cases. shortcoming are found in some of the convenient methods for ranking triangular fuzzy numbers such as the coefficient of variation (cv index), distance between fuzzy set...

the late detection of the kick (the entrance of underground fluids into oil wells) leads to oil wellblowouts. it causes human life loss and imposes a great deal of expenses on the petroleum industry.this paper presents the application of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system designed for an earlierkick detection using measurable drilling parameters. in order to generate the initial fuzzy infere...

electricity price predictions have become a major discussion on competitive market under deregulated power system. but, the exclusive characteristics of electricity price such as non-linearity, non-stationary and time-varying volatility structure present several challenges for this task. in this paper, a new forecast strategy based on the iterative neural network is proposed for day-ahead price...

this paper presents a new coding method for image compression based on jpeg2000 and contourlet transform. jpeg2000 standard is a common standard that uses discrete wavelet transform (dwt) in the compression process. the main problems of dwt are failure to detect curved edges in image and its shortage representation of the ridge and furrow patterns which cause deficiency and block artifacts rema...

We have developed a new method for a realistic and more accurate simulation of klystron using the MAGIC code. MAGIC is the 2.5-D or 3-D, fully electromagnetic and relativistic particle-in-cell code for self-consistent simulation of plasma. It solves the Maxwell equations in time domain at particle presence for a given geometrical structure. It uses no model or approximation for the beamcavity i...
