This paper reports on an optimum dynamic programming (DP) based time-normalization algorithm for spoken word recognition. First, a general principle of time-normalization i s given using timewarping function. Then, two time-normalized distance definitions, d e d symmetric and asymmetric forms, are derived from the principle. These two forms are compared with each other through theoretical discu...

introduction: nowadays,  considerable developments  in  the field  of  radiotherapy have  been  achieved.  they  include  the  advances  made  in  the  equipments  and  treatment  planning  techniques  which  require  highly complex calculations. such achievements have made it possible to treat cancer patients not only  with  higher  radiation  dose  but  also  with  higher  precision  and  con...

although some 3d slope stability algorithms have been proposed in recent three decades, still role of pore pressures in three dimensional slope stability analyses and considering the effects of pore water pressure in 3d slope stability studies needs to be investigated. in this paper, a limit analysis formulation for investigation of role of the pore water pressure in three dimensional slope sta...

Even though there exist lots of documents on Finite Element Strength Reduction Method, cohesion and internal friction angle in these materials are reduced through the same reduction factor, which fails to reflect either of their safe reserving quality or the quality to precisely match slope failure process and mechanism. As is known, the exterior angle circumcircle yield criterion DP1 of the ge...

Anthropometry, a useful method for evaluating craniofacial soft tissues, makes the quantitative description of the face possible. It also assesses the degree of disharmony and imbalance in the growth and development of the face. The aim of this study was to examine the overall common age-related changes of nasomaxillary complex of adolescent boys in northeast Iran. Three- hundred- twelve 12 to ...

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the application of probabilistic neural networks (PNNs) as a classification tool in the slope stability estimation. PNNs are applied to estimate slope stability according to the slope geometric shapes and soil mechanical parameters. Unlike other neural network training paradigms, PNNs are characterized by high training speed and their ability to pro...

We studied the effect of cerebellar lesions on the 3-D control of the rotational vestibuloocular reflex (RVOR) to abrupt yaw-axis head rotation. Using search coils, three-dimensional (3-D) eye movements were recorded from nine patients with cerebellar disease and seven normal subjects during brief chair rotations (200 degrees /s(2) to 40 degrees /s) and manual head impulses. We determined the a...
