The replication of archaic documents on paper using modern typographic tools is a quite challenging task. This task is usually broken in two sub-tasks: the design of a font that fully respects all aspects of the handwritten document and the design of software tools (macros for the digital typesetter and/or external routines) that are used to set the archaic document. Here we report on the creat...

This paper presents work on programming methodologies for the programming tool GCLA. Three methods are discussed which show how to construct the control part of a GCLA program, where the definition of a specific problem and the set of intended queries are given beforehand. The methods are described by a series of examples, but we also try to give a more explicit description of each method. We a...

Improving the efficiency of compressors has been one of the most important goals of researchers over the years. In this paper, three different methods are presented for parameterization and blade optimization of axial flow compressor. All methods consist of flow analysis tool, optimization algorithms, and parametric geometry generation tool, that are different in each approach. Objective functi...

one-third of the people with an age over twenty have some signs of degenerated discs. however, in most of the patients the mere presence of degenerative discs is not a problem leading to pain, neurological compression, or other symptoms. this paper presents an interval type-2 fuzzy hybrid rule-based system to diagnose the abnormal degenerated discs where pain variables are represented by interv...

Accurate permeability estimation has always been a concern in determining flow units, assigning appropriate capillary pressure andrelative permeability curves to reservoir rock types, geological modeling, and dynamic simulation.Acoustic method can be used as analternative and effective tool for permeability determination. In this study, a four-step approach is proposed for permeability estimati...
