the incremental sheet metal forming (ismf) process is a new and flexible method that is well suited for small batch production or prototyping. this paper studies the use of the finite element method in the incremental forming process of aa1050 sheets to investigate the influence of tool diameter, vertical step size, and friction coefficient on forming force, spring-back, and thickness distribut...

The study documented three-dimensional spinal loading during lifting from an industrial bin. Two lifting styles and two bin design factors were examined in Phase I. The lifting style measures in Phase I were one hand versus two hand and standing on one foot versus two feet. The bin design variables were region of load in the bin and bin height. The Phase II study examined one-handed lifting sty...

Focused Crawling aims to search the WWW in relevance to the user topic of interest, tends to provide more number of relevant documents in first top results, leading to the need of maintaining the index with more number of related web pages; using the relative measure of relevancy between the documents. This paper provides a novel technique for extracting the back-links of a web page and to eval...

Resolution enhancement is a basic and important technology in image/video processing. The goal of resolution enhancement is to reconstruct high-resolution image frames from the corresponding lowresolution versions. In this paper, an adaptive resolution enhancement scheme based on iterative backprojection was proposed. According to sub-pixel interpolation, additional information composed of seve...

The back-calculation technique for evaluating the anthropogenic CO2 (CANT) input corrects total inorganic carbon for the remineralization of organic matter and the dissolution of calcium carbonate, along with subtracting the pre-industrial equilibrium total inorganic carbon. This technique is mainly dependent on the estimation of the preformed values of total alkalinity, oxygen and partial pres...

Epsilon technique cannot learn from training patterns with a contradiction | i.e. two or more training patterns have identical inputs but dierent outputs. These training patterns are not 100% satisable and the Descending Epsilon technique will not be able to reduce the value of epsilon beyond a limit. Secondly, the Descending Epsilon technique takes more cycles than normal back-propagation sinc...
