This paper serves as a first study on the implementation of control strategies developed using a kinematic reduction onto test bed autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). The equations of motion are presented in the framework of differential geometry, including external dissipative forces, as a forced affine connection control system. We show that the hydrodynamic drag forces can be included in ...

seroresponse to the full three - dose of the hepatitis b vaccine (engcrix-b) was studied in 138 medical and paramedical staff from tehran. the vaccine was found to be highly immunogenic. seroconversion rales, scroprotecthn rates and geometric mean titer were found to be 98.$%, 90% and 902.$ mlu/ml, respectively. tills is the first report of sero-rcsponse in normal iranian subjects to the hepati...

In this paper nonlinear analysis of structures are performed considering material and geometric nonlinearity using force method and energy concepts. For this purpose, the complementary energy of the structure is minimized using ant colony algorithms. Considering the energy term next to the weight of the structure, optimal design of structures is performed. The first part of this paper contains ...

A generalization of the exponentiated Weibull geometric model called the transmuted exponentiated Weibull geometric distribution is proposed and studied. It includes as special cases at least ten models. Some of its structural properties including order statistics, explicit expressions for the ordinary and incomplete moments and generating function are derived. The estimation of the model param...
