This paper is concerned with some feasibility issues in mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints (MPECs) where additional joint constraints are present that must be satis ed by the state and design variables of the problems. We introduce su cient conditions that guarantee the feasibility of these MPECs. It turns out that these conditions also guarantee the feasibility of the quadratic...

Segmentation of femurs in Anterior-Posterior x-ray images is very important for fracture detection, computer-aided surgery and surgical planning. Existing methods do not perform well in segmenting bones in x-ray images due to the presence of large amount of spurious edges. This paper presents an atlas-based approach for automatic segmentation of femurs in x-ray images. A robust global alignment...

understanding various aspects of the problems, challenges and constraints of agricultural activities such as mushroom ventures and trying to plan and policy for solving problems are suitable strategies for developing agri– businesses. the purpose of this qualitative study was to explain the challenges and constraints of developing mushroom venturesin kermanshah province. information were collec...

We propose a position-based approach for largescale simulations of rigid bodies at interactive frame-rates. Our method solves positional constraints between rigid bodies and therefore integrates nicely with other position-based methods. Interaction of particles and rigid bodies through common constraints enables two-way coupling with deformables. The method exhibits exceptional performance and ...
