As manufacturing efficiency has become a main focus of today’s business, it is very critical to surge the throughput by developing different test strategies. With throughput, testing cost also has been recognized as the major challenge in the future of leading semiconductors. Reducing test time is a significant effort to maximize throughput as the complexity…

Brain tumors are a type of tumor with a high mortality rate. Since multifocal-looking tumors in the brain can resemble multicentric gliomas or gliomatosis, accurate detection of the tumor is required during the treatment process. The similarity of neurological and radiological findings also complicates the classification of these tumors. Fast and accurate classification is important…

This paper has explored the technology beliefs of university students considering four parameters. We have proposed an automatic belief identification system for academic institutions. For this, we used two different clustering algorithms to segment the student group with different beliefs about the technology. In the Hierarchical Clustering (HC), the Agglomerative approach was followed. The beliefs…

To properly simulate and implement a quadcopter flight control for intended load and flight conditions, the quadcopter model must have parameters on various relationships including propeller thrust-torque, thrust-PWM, and thrust–angular speed to a certain level of accuracy. Thrust-torque modeling requires an expensive reaction torque measurement sensor. In the absence of sophisticated equipment, the study comes…

Dynamic modeling has been a crucial study in many areas of the engineering field.
