This paper presents the study on influence external pressures on vibration of functionally graded materials thin-walled cylindrical shell supported. The functionally graded materials (FGMs) properties are graded in the thickness direction of the shell. FGMs are advanced composite materials, consisting of different types of materials, in which the properties shift continuously from one material ...

Shiffman recently summarized lessons for network effectiveness from an impressive collection of case-studies. However, in common with most global health governance analysis in recent years, Shiffman underplays the important role of states in these global networks. As the body which decides and signs international agreements, often provides the resourcing, and is responsible for implementing ini...

Unmanned aircraft systems use a variety of techniques to plan collision-free flight paths given a map of obstacles and nofly zones. However, maps are not perfect and obstacles may change over time or be detected during flight, which may invalidate paths that the aircraft is already following. Thus, dynamic in-flight replanning is required. Numerous strategies can be used for replanning, where t...

in the current paper,nanostructured nickel oxide (nio) were synthesized by co-precipitation method using nickel(ii) chloride hexahydrate (nicl2.6h2o) and sodium hydroxide (naoh) as starting material. structural, optical and magnetic properties of nanostructures were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), atomic force microscope (afm), uv–vis absorption; fo...

In recent years, comprehensive researches have provided ample support for the supply chains in the coordinated decision-making framework. However, the issue of closed-loop supply chain coordination considering various transportation modes has not yet been addressed in the literature. In this paper, a two-echelon closed-loop supply chain consisting of a manufacturer and a retailer is investigate...

This paper introduces a repeatable and constructive approach to the analysis of loop progress and termination conditions in imperative programs. It is applicable to all loops for which a variant function can be defined using only loop guard variables. The approach involves the algorithmic derivation of loop progress and termination conditions directly from the code itself. The derivation of the...
