this article proposes a direct method for solving three types of integral equations with time delay. by using operational matrix of integration, integral equations can be reduced to a linear lower triangular system which can be directly solved by forward substitution. numerical examples shows that the proposed scheme have a suitable degree of accuracy.

As bimanual robots become increasingly popular, learning and control algorithms must take into account new constraints and challenges imposed by this morphology. Most research on learning bimanual skills has focused on learning coordination between end-effectors, exploiting operational space formulations. However, motion patterns in bimanual scenarios are not exclusive to operational space, als...

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are in operation and under study around the world. As techniques are being developed for practical use, different vehicles and tools are proliferating. Each vehicle requires dedicated tools, broad knowledge and troubleshooting skills to plan and analyze missions. Executing these missions is often fraught with operational challenges as well. Multiple systems...

Transimpedance or current feedback amplifiers are still relatively new to audio applications, since they are pri­ marily designed for video circuits. While the AD846 (an early high-per­ formance example) was successfully used in TAA,1 transimpedance amps may not be completely familiar de­ vices (The AD846 data sheet contains a detailed discussion of transimped­ ance amplifier theory). Interesti...

The continuing growth of marine container transport, as well as, the complexity in the analysis of terminal port operations has created an ideal area for applying computer simulation. Simulators are able to generate considerable benefits and added value for the operational training. The traditional formal and on-the-job training of operational personnel is becoming inadequate, not only for prov...

T oday’s renewed interest in perfusion culture is due to an increased awareness of its advantages, some general improvement in equipment reliability, and a broadening of operational skills in the biomanufacturing industry. Some misperceptions persist, however, according to a 2011 review by Eric Langer (1). Our view here of the history of perfusion and fed-batch processes includes some discussio...

Organization’s size is determined by number of its employees, the largeness of its operation, and its market reach and share. It also poses a very different challenge for the organization’s leaders, while small organizations are build for innovation, large are meant for operational efficiency. The skills necessary for entrepreneurship are quite different from that of running a large and diverse...

The purpose of this paper is to provide hospital managers with important knowledge and skills in developing efficiency measures that hospital can use as guidelines in monitoring and controlling operational costs. Efficiency measures are judgmental and comparative. Cost and quantity are the variables in the computation of efficiency measures but it is very important to integrate these variables ...
