In the dynamic analysis of structures using nite element methods very often prohibitively many degrees of freedom are required to model the structure suuciently accurate. Condensation methods are often used to reduce the number of unknowns to manageable size. Substructuring and choosing the master variables as the degrees of freedom on the interfaces of the substructures yields data structures ...

We are developing a new graduate program at Purdue in Video and Image Systems Engineering (VISE). The project is comprised of three parts: a new curriculum centered around a degree option in VISE to be earned as part of the Masters or Ph.D. degrees; a state-of-theart lecture/laboratory facility for instruction, laboratory experiments, and project and homework activities in VISE courses; and enh...

He has taught at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota since 1999. His mathematical interests include computability theory and many-valued logic. His non-mathematical time tends to revolve around his three children (who created the ...

electronic shopping has increased in recent years increasingly. people who use this channel as an instrument of marketing and selling of goods, understand that consumers do not only focus on timely delivery of goods. but they are also looking for new and different products. thus, the marketers and companies must understand the innovative elements that effective on consumer purchases. in the pre...

This paper suggests an evolution to the graduate level systems engineering curriculum framework documented in an International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) report in October of 2007 [Jain and Verma, INCOSE-PP-2007-001-01, Seattle, WA, 2007]. This evolution leverages the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 15288 Systems ...
