The emerging HetNet is asking for new network deployment and management methods with flexibility to handle dynamic user demands and diverse radio environments in a tired RAN infrastructure. In this Brief, we present a new framework in the study of HetNet, namely as cognitive cellular network management (CCN), by applying cognitive radio techniques. As shown in Fig. 2.1, CCN are built upon four ...

Three policies, namely optimal repacking, least load routing, and Bernoulli splitting, are considered for dynamic resource allocation in load sharing networks with standard Erlang type statistics. Large deviations principles are established for the three policies in a simple network of three consumer types and two resource locations and are used to identify the network overflow exponents. The o...

In this research, first, kinematic and dynamic equations of a 4-DOF 3-link robotic finger are derived using Denavit-Hartenberg convention and Lagrange’s formulation. To model the muscles, several springs and dampers are placed between the finger links. Then, two advanced controllers, namely adaptive-robust and adaptive-neural, which can control the robotic finger in presence of parametric uncer...

Recent development of in vivo microscopy techniques, including green fluorescent proteins, has allowed the visualization of a wide range of dynamic processes in living cells. For quantitative and visual interpretation of such processes, new concepts for time-resolved image analysis and continuous time-space visualization are required. Here, we describe a versatile and fully automated approach c...

Simulating human motion is a complex problem due to redundancy of the human musculoskeletal system. The concept of task-based dynamic motion prediction using singleor multi-objective optimization techniques provides a viable approach for predicting dynamic gait motions of digital humans, subjected to basic physical and kinematical constraints. The task-based motion prediction is in fact a numer...

Three techniques for measuring dynamic stress intensity factor time histories of dynamically loaded stationary modeI cracks are compared as applied to dynamically loaded pre-cracked 6Al–4V titanium alloy specimens. The three techniques are crack opening displacement (COD), dynamic strain gage measurement, and coherent gradient sensing (CGS). The stress intensity factor histories are inferred fr...
