In the analysis procedure, the hybrid utilization of the pseudo-rigid-body model (PRBM) and the nonlinear elastic theory of beam buckling is presented. This partially compliant mechanism comprises three rigid links and two flexible links. The kinematic analyses of the mechanisms are done by using the vector loop closure equations, the PRBM of a large deflection cantilever beam, and derivation of nonlinear algebraic equations considering the quasi-static equilibrium and load-deflection curve of the flexible parts. Each of the elastic parts makes up a buckling pinned-pinned flexible Euler beam. The vector loop equations are combined with Newton-Euler dynamic formulations to provide the simultaneous constraint matrix. After these operations, the full mechanism is simulated to get both accelerations and forces for each time step. Finally, the design method is validated through experimental results. The findings derived from the combination of buckling elastica solution and PRBM approach enable the analysis of Watt's six-bar compliant mechanism.","PeriodicalId":400190,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Research Communications","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130605900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From this point of view, this research aims to study the challenges of dealing with hawkers (Street Vendors) in Jordan's urban centres generally by shedding light on downtown Amman. Although they succeed in acquiring and controlling space informally in Amman, hawkers have been ignored by local planners and even been harassed by local authorities for not being given space to operate their businesses. Rigid transformations should be carried in urban planning strategies in downtown Amman. Local policies need to be enforced to end this conflict and provide suitable conditions and capacities to read and respond to the hawkers' needs. They represent an integral part of the region's urban fabric. This study is based on reviewing related literature, field survey, and observations carried out for two months in the study area. In addition to several informal discussions held with the hawkers, pedestrians, merchants, and local authorities, questionnaires were used to clarify specific issues. The study suggests a few recommendations to help fulfil urban centres' effective utilization and harmonize formal activities and the hawkers in order to resolve this conflict. The study found that street hawkers are only considered troublemakers and have never been involved in decision-making when urban planning occurs. These will be an ongoing issue, not unless they are integrated into the planning processes. The study suggests different scenarios for proper allocation of hawking space can be done regarding accommodating them according to their space requirements worked out the basis of the products sold, as has been done in the present study. In short, this will help in providing suitable trading environments for the hawkers, creating a pedestrian-friendly neighbourhood, decreasing the unemployment rate, among other advantages.","PeriodicalId":400190,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Research Communications","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126319365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Individuals can express their opinions, grievances, feelings, and attitudes about a variety of topics. Through microblogging platforms, they can express their opinions on current events and products. Sentiment analysis is a significant area of research in natural language processing because it aims to define the orientation of the sentiment contained in source materials. Twitter is one of the most popular microblogging sites on the internet, with millions of users daily publishing over one hundred million text messages (referred to as tweets). Choosing an appropriate term representation scheme for short text messages is critical. Term weighting schemes are critical representation schemes for text documents in the vector space model. We present a comprehensive analysis of Turkish sentiment analysis using nine supervised and unsupervised term weighting schemes in this paper. The predictive efficiency of term weighting schemes is investigated using four supervised learning algorithms (Naive Bayes, support vector machines, the k-nearest neighbor algorithm, and logistic regression) and three ensemble learning methods (AdaBoost, Bagging, and Random Subspace). The empirical evidence suggests that supervised term weighting models can outperform unsupervised term weighting models.","PeriodicalId":400190,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Research Communications","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133434375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reformations in the world’s economic system and changes in human precautions and behaviors are expected to influence several other aspects directly and indirectly. This paper aims to evaluate the impact of the pandemic on the behaviors and perceptions of shopping malls’ users. Through the performed questionnaire on the residents of Dernah, Libya, it was found that they depend on cars as a main mean of transportation. Thus, no major impacts were found on the user’s choices in that aspect. However, evaluations of the scale reflect changes of people’s attitudes towards their preferences for shopping malls. These results are significant indicators in directing the attention of designers and managers of shopping malls to adopt new strategies and approaches.","PeriodicalId":400190,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Research Communications","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114477895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
