objective: in this study, we aimed to validate the accuracy of computed tomography-based attenuation correction (ctac) using the bilinear scaling method.methods: the measured attenuation coefficient (μm) was compared to a theoretical attenuation coefficient (μt ) using four different ct scanners and an rmi 467 phantom. the effective energy of the ct beam x-rays was calculated, using the aluminu...

This paper presents the closed-loop composite control of singularly perturbed bilinear systems with a quadratic performance criterion, using successive Galerkin approximation(SGA). The singularly perturbed bilinear system is decomposed into two subsystems of a slow-time and fast-time scale by the singular perturbation theory, and we obtain feedback control laws from each subsystem using SGA. We...

A new design approach of observer is proposed for generalized dynamical systems with unknown input disturbances. By introducing proportional gain, derivative gain and multiple-integral gains, the estimation error dynamics can be guaranteed to be internally proper stable and the disturbance can be de-coupled successfully. The system state and the input disturbance can be asymptotically estimated...

In this article optimal design of shear walls is performed under seismic loading. For practical aims, a database of special shear walls is created. Special shear walls are used for seismic design optimization employing the charged system search algorithm as an optimizer. Constraints consist of design and performance limitations. Nonlinear behavior of the shear wall is taken into account and per...

Monte Carlo simulations have been performed to investigate the dependence of the dynamic phase behavior on the bilinear exchange anisotropy of a classical Heisenberg spin system. The system under consideration is a planar thin ferromagnetic film with competing surface fields subject to a pulsed oscillatory external field. The results show that the films exhibit a single discontinuous dynamic ph...

the purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of l-fuzzybilinear operators. we obtain a decomposition theorem for l-fuzzy bilinearoperators and then prove that a l-fuzzy bilinear operator is the same as apowerset operator for the variable-basis introduced by s.e.rodabaugh (1991).finally we discuss the continuity of l-fuzzy bilinear operators.

This paper introduces an approach to the axiomatic theory of quadratic forms based on {tmem{presentable}} partially ordered sets, that is partially ordered sets subject to additional conditions which amount to a strong form of local presentability. It turns out that the classical notion of the Witt ring of symmetric bilinear forms over a field makes sense in the context of {tmem{quadratically p...

In this paper, we present a novel bilinear invariant representation for multimedia information classification and retrieval. We introduce the concept of kernel space from functional analysis to show that null space invariants are only the special case when the transformation is linear. Subsequently, we derive the exact invariant basis for one of the important applications for kernel space: bili...

In this paper, we present a new kind of the bilinear systems in the form of state space model. The evolution of this system depends on the product of state vector by its self. The well known Lotak Volterra and Lorenz models are special cases of this new model. We also present here a generalization of Kalman filter which is suitable to work with the new bilinear model. An application to real mea...
