Characterization of swarm behavior through pair-wise interactions by tsallis entropy
(CSREA Press, 2005)This paper tries to look at the interactions of a swarm of two at an elementary level. The change in the swarm entropy during the interactions is investigated. The characterization of swarm behavior has been subsumed in ... -
Classification of manipulators of the same origin by virtue of compactness and complexity
(Elsevier, 2011-10)This work deals with a classification method that employs concepts such as complexity and compactness. The idea is to classify manipulators, or any other mechanism for that matter, of the same origin, based on the geometry ... -
A closed-form solution of spatial sliders for rigid-body guidance
(Springer, 2013-10-16)This paper presents a closed-form solution to the four-position synthesis problem by using a spatial slider, which is a spatial dyad of two perpendicularly intersected cylindrical joints. We utilize the dialytic elimination ... -
A comment on change of Nusselt number sign in a channel flow filled by a fluid-saturated porous medium with constant heat flux boundary conditions
(Springer, 2013-01)The aim of this Letter is to show that, the Nusselt number sign might be changed without changing of heat transfer direction at the wall of channels, even for flows without viscous dissipation. The sign of the Nusselt ... -
