Consider a sequence of n independent observations from a population of increasing size αi, i = 1,2,... and an absolutely continuous initial distribution function. The distribution of the kth record value is represented as a countable mixture, with mixing the distribution of the kth record time and mixed the distribution of the nth order statistic. Precisely, the distribution function and (pow...

One of the troublesome aspects of numerical modeling is to determine open boundaries for a model and to make sure that the boundary conditions employed at the open boundaries are compatible with physical processes being simulated within the interior of the model domain. In this investigation the accuracy of the water level data derived from delft3D employing nesting procedure were studied. Thes...

Multipath fading usually degrades the performance of communication systems, severely. To describe this random phenomenon, it is necessary to derive expressions for the PDF of the received signal envelope in multipath fading channels. In this paper, two expansions for the envelope PDF's are derived under general channel characteristics: an infinite power series and an infinite Laguerre series. U...
