The existing q-Markov COVER realization theory does not take into account the problems of arithmetic errors due to both the quantization of states and coefficients of the reduced order model. All q-Markov COVERs allow some freedom in the choice of parameters. In this paper we exploit this freedom in the existing theory to optimize the models with respect to thes,_ finite wordlength effects. *De...

A new method for increasing LDR in deep drawing is application of anti-lock braking system (ABS) on blank holder. In this method, instead of applying a constant force on blank and control the metal flow, the ABS system holds and releases the blank several times (20 to 50 times) which results increasing LDR. This study investigates the effect of different parameters of ABS on improving the condi...

Generators for synthetic RDF datasets are very important for testing and benchmarking various semantic data management tasks (e.g. querying, storage, update, compare, integrate). However, the current generators do not support sufficiently (or totally ignore) blank node connectivity issues. Blank nodes are used for various purposes (e.g. for describing complex attributes), and a significant perc...

In various domains and cases, we observe the creation and usage of information elements which are unnamed. Such elements do not have a name, or may have a name that is not externally referable (usually meaningless and not persistent over time). This paper discusses why we will never ‘escape’ from the problem of having to construct mappings between such unnamed elements in information systems. S...

Finite element simulation of stretch flanging process was carried out in order to investigate the effect of process parameters on maximum thinning (%) in stretch flanging process. Influences of initial flange length, punch die clearance, width of sheet metal blank and blank holding force were investigated on maximum thinning (%). Finite element simulation was done using FEM software package ABA...

Two methods of triglycerideblank measurement were critically investigated. For 38 samples a mean blank value of 7.2 mg/dl was obtained when the blanks were measured by replacingthe saponifying reagent with 80% isopropanol. For the same samples, consistently higher blank values were obtained (mean = 18.3 mg/dl) when these were determined by the Kessler-Lederer method. It is suggested that, when ...
