In this article, we are concerned with the third-order methods [see e.g. Refs. 8,10]. Just as Newton method approximates the gradient of the objective function with a linear function with the same slope at the current iterate, the third-order methods approximate the gradient with a ‘parabola’ with the same slope and curvature at the current iterate. The most famous third-order method is the imp...

The shallow landslides affect most of the hillslopes in the Prahova Subcarpathians and are mainly caused by the agriculture practices. Though, these processes do not imply immediately losses for human activity, the landslide susceptibility assessment is necessary to prevent terrain degradation. The evaluation of landslide susceptibility requires understanding of spatial distribution of the fact...

We construct a general equilibrium model with incomplete markets and borrowing constraints, in order to study the term structure of real interest rates. Agents are subject to both aggregate and idiosyncratic income shocks, which latter may force them into early portfolio liquidation whilst in recession. We derive a closed-form equilibrium with limited agents’ heterogeneity (despite market incom...

Many common magnetic resonance imaging sequences are classified either as spin echo or gradient echo techniques. Generally, a gradient echo occurs when spins are coherent regardless of their position within the sample. This occurs whenever the net gradient area since a previous echo is zero. In a spin echo, spins are coherent regardless of their resonance frequency [1]. Here we will focus on gr...

Building of Dam from thousands of years BC was known, and the humans with use of them alwaystry to preserve and utilize surface water resources, but sedimentation problem always is the mostimportant factor in shortening the useful life of dams , and a lot of reservoirs were filled by sedimentsdue to this process and therefore most of dams have been abandoned. One of the most importantphenomena ...

BACKGROUND We describe nine females with Rett Syndrome (RS), aged 14 to 26 years. All had had developmental delay before the end of their first year and had subsequently regressed to profound dementia with apraxia, ataxia, irregular respirations and often also seizures. METHODS The Revised Gesell developmental assessment and Alpern-Boll Developmental Profile were used in modified form. Volume...

In agricultural landscapes, factors affecting V under steady-state conditions of infiltration are well docuVarious interactions, particularly those existing between the rainmented (Kinnell, 2000). The effect of slope angle on fall intensity, the slope gradient, the slope length, and the tillage runoff for interrill erosion has also been fully investisupposedly can affect the runoff features for...

Slope cutting is becoming more common in engineering construction to obtain a large floor area. disrupts slope’s inherent stability, causing instability and sliding. To solve the problem of geological disasters caused by artificial slope cutting, Cangxi County used as an example analyze height different structures county, study disaster mode factors influence gradient on process. This demonstra...

the relationship between topography, soil factors, and distribution of ecological vegetation groups in the nodoushan arid rangelands of yazd province (iran) was investigated. the present species were recorded in each vegetation group using a randomized-systematic sampling method. plant cover and density were estimated quantitatively using the transect and quadrate methods, and the two-way indic...
