Precis: This paper estimates capacity output for Irish manufacturing industry using the Wharton School linked-peaks method, updating an index produced in McMahon and Smyth (1974). It then pre­ sents a capacity output series using a production function approach. This approach involves estimating a production function and then replacing the actual values of the inputs with estimated full capacity...

In this study, the aim is to propose a new method for fuzzification of nested dummy variables. The fuzzification idea of dummy variables has been acquired from non-linear part of regime switching models in econometrics. In these models, the concept of transfer functions is like the notion of fuzzy membership functions, but no principle or linguistic sentence have been used for inputs. Consequen...

Timed event graphs are described in dioids by a linear state-space or transfer function model. This paper proposes a state feedback control under complete control and observation of the states. By using a model reference control approach, the closed-loop transfer function matches the control specification expressed as a given transfer function. It is shown that under certain conditions an optim...

Human’s ability to perceive elevation of a sound and distinguish whether a sound is coming from the front or rear strongly depends on the monaural spectral features of the pinnae. In order to realize an effective virtual auditory display by HRTF (head-related transfer function) customization, the pinna responses were isolated from the median HRIRs (head-related impulse responses) of 45 individu...

This article constructs Shalika germs in the context of motivic integration, both for ordinary orbital integrals and κ-orbital integrals. Based on transfer principles in motivic integration and on Waldspurger’s endoscopic transfer of smooth functions in characteristic zero, we deduce the endoscopic transfer of smooth functions in sufficiently large residual characteristic. We dedicate this arti...

model order reduction is known as the problem of minimizing the -norm of the difference between the transfer function of the original system and the reduced one. in many papers, linear matrix inequality (lmi) approach is utilized to address the minimization problem. this paper deals with defining an extra matrix inequality constraint to guarantee that the minimum phase characteristic of the sys...

The augment of heat transfer and fluid of buoyancy-driven flow of Fe3O4-Water nanofluid in a square cavity under the influence of an external magnetic field is studied numerically. Cold temperature is applied on the side (vertical) walls and high temperature is imposed on the bottom wall while the top wall is kept at thermally insulated. The governing non-dimensional differential equations are ...
