Mobile service robots for interaction with people need to be easily maneuverable by their users, even if physical restrictions make a manual pushing and pulling impossible. In this paper, we present a low cost approach that allows for intuitive tactile control of a mobile service robot while preserving constraints of a differential drive and obstacle avoidance. The robot’s enclosure has been eq...

The known ore deposits and mineralization trends are important key exploration criteria in mineral exploration within a specific region. Fry analysis has conventionally been considered as a suitable method to determine the mineralization trends related to linear structures. Based upon literature sources, to date, no investigation has been carried out that includes the Sensitivity Analysis of Fe...

As part of sustainable architecture principles and practices, designers need to define building's architectural requirements based on climatic conditions, environmental preservation and reduction in energy consumption. The natural energy sources such as solar radiation affect thermal and lighting performances of buildings depending on its facade characteristics. Traditionally, buildings thermal...

this article presents an analytic approach to study admissibility conditions related to classical full wavelet systems over finite fields using tools from computational harmonic analysis and theoretical linear algebra. it is shown that for a large class of non-zero window signals (wavelets), the generated classical full wavelet systems constitute a frame whose canonical dual are classical full ...

seismic attribute is a quantitative measure of an interested seismic characteristic. there are several seismic attributes. in recent years, time-frequency (tf) attributes have been developed which to reach them, tf analyzing of seismic data is required. a high resolution tf representation (tfr) can yield more accurate tf attributes. there are several tfr methods including short-time fourier tra...
