The Global Navigation Satellite System-Reflections (GNSS-R) signal has been confirmed to be used retrieve sea level height. At present, the GNSS-Interferometric Reflectometry (GNSS-IR) technology based on least square method process signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) data is restricted by satellite elevation angle in terms of accuracy and stability. This paper proposes a new GNSS-IR model combining va...

Software engineering for distributed automotive applications is shifting from a subsystem-level perspcective, where the focus is on optimization of a single electronic control unit, towards a system-level view. However, optimization of distributed systems with respect to non-functional properties remains a challenging task. The goal of the MoDe (Model Based Deployment) approach is to give early...

ly , reasoning w i t h affective relations proceeds by examin ing the ou tpu t of the device to determine the state of key components, and then propagat ing this i n format ion through the affective relations to deduce the state of other components. Act ions are then performed based on the nature of the alarm messages f rom the device and the states of the components. To make this more concrete...

Travel demand is well announced as a crucial component of transportation planning. This paper aims to develop a direct demand model, denoting a more acceptable abstraction of reality, for intercity passengers in daily work and leisure trips in Tehran province. The model utilizes combined estimation across the data source, collected in 2011, of travelers originating from ...

results sixty patients were involved in this study. in asv mode, values including peak airway pressure (p-peak), end-tidal carbon dioxide (etco2), tidal volume and respiratory dead space were significantly lower than simv mode. although the mean value for dynamic compliance had no significant difference in the two types of ventilation, it was better in asv mode. methods in a crossover study, pa...
