in this paper, a robust integral of the sign error (rise) feedback controller is designed for a rigid-link electrically driven (rled) robot manipulator actuated by direct current dc motor in presence of parametric uncertainties and additive disturbances. rise feedback with implicitly learning capability is a continuous control method based on the lyapunov stability analysis to compensate an add...

support vector machine (svm) was used to analyze the occurrence of roach in flemish stream basins (belgium). several habitat and physico?chemical variables were used as inputs for the model development. the biotic variable merely consisted of abundance data which was used for predicting presence/absence of roach. genetic algorithm (ga) was combined with svm in order to select the most important...

the lithologies of regions, which located near the collision zone, are very different from other geology setting. mapping in these areas needs extensive and exact studies and tools because of the variety of rocks, intensive tectonic uplift and complicated units. hyperspectral sensor is one of the most advanced tools with hundreds of bands that each measures a very narrow range of wavelengths an...

background: we aimed to assess the high-risk group for suicide using different classification methods includinglogistic regression (lr), decision tree (dt), artificial neural network (ann), and support vector machine (svm). methods: we used the dataset of a study conducted to predict risk factors of completed suicide in hamadan province, the west of iran, in 2010. to evaluate the high-risk grou...

This paper presents a practical algorithm for facial age estimation from frontal face image. Facial age estimation generally comprises two key steps including age image representation and age estimation. The anthropometric model used in this study includes computation of eighteen craniofacial ratios and a new accurate skin wrinkles analysis in the first step and a pairwise binary support vector...

seismic facies analysis (sfa) aims to classify similar seismic traces based on amplitude, phase,frequency, and other seismic attributes. sfa has proven useful in interpreting seismic data, allowingsignificant information on subsurface geological structures to be extracted. while facies analysis hasbeen widely investigated through unsupervised-classification-based studies, there are few casesass...

this paper concentrates on a new procedure which experimentally recognises gears and bearings faults of a typical gearbox system using a least square support vector machine (lssvm). two wavelet selection criteria maximum energy to shannon entropy ratio and maximum relative wavelet energy are used and compared to select an appropriate wavelet for feature extraction. the fault diagnosis method co...

integrally skinned asymmetric membranes based on nanocompositepolyethersulfone were prepared by the phase separation process using the supercritical co2 as a nonsolvent for the polymer solution. in present study, the effects of temperature and nanoparticle on selectivity performance and permeability of gases has beeninvestigated. it is shown that the presence of silica nanoparticles not only di...

reservoir permeability is a critical parameter for characterization of the hydrocarbon reservoirs. in fact, determination of permeability is a crucial task in reserve estimation, production and development. traditional methods for permeability prediction are well log and core data analysis which are very expensive and time-consuming. well log data is an alternative approach for prediction of pe...
