Derivation of the probability density evolution provides invaluable insight into behavior many stochastic systems and their performance. However, for most real-time applica-tions, numerical determination is a formidable task. The latter due to required temporal spatial discretization schemes that render computational solutions prohibitive impractical. In this respect, development an efficient s...

The pres ent study exam ined the effects of pub lic self-focus and par tic i pants’ sex on self-hand i cap ping behav ior. Research in the area of self-hand i cap ping has con sis tently shown that men alone tend to self-hand i cap behaviorally. Because con di tions of pub lic self-focus tend to make the evaluative impli ca tions of per for mance more salient, the authors hypoth e sized that pe...

train energy saving problem investigates how to control train's velocity such that the quantity of energy consumption is minimized and some system constraints are satis ed. on the assumption that the train's weights on different links are estimated by fuzzy variables when making the train scheduling strategy, we study the fuzzy train energy saving problem. first, we propose a fuzzy energy ...

This article considers the reception of pianist Nikolai Orloff (1892-1964) by British musical press through an analysis reviews published The Musical Times, and also national local newspapers held in digital archives. A hybrid methodology was used to identify, sift, code relevant primary source material a large archive within context existing scholarship. Examples relating Orloff?s performances...

Founded by the World Me te o ro log i cal Or ga ni za tion (WMO) and the United Na tions En vi ron ment Programme (UNEP) in 1988, the In ter gov ern men tal Panel on Cli mate Change (IPCC) is en gaged in a unique sci en tific as sess ment pro cess. Not only is the IPCC ex plic itly tied to the United Na tions Frame work Con ven tion on Cli mate Change (UNFCCC) as its pol icy au di ence, but it ...

In this article, we apply the Multiquadric radial basis function (RBF) interpo-lation method for nding the numerical approximation of traveling wave solu-tions of the Kawahara equation. The scheme is based on the Crank-Nicolsonformulation for space derivative. The performance of the method is shown innumerical examples.

The concept of generalized order statistics (GOSs) was introduced as a unified approach to a variety of models of ordered random variables. The purpose of this paper is to investigate condi- tions on the underlying distribution functions and the parameters on which GOSs are based, to establish Shaked-Shanthikumar multivari- ate dispersive ordering of GOSs from one sample and Khaledi-Kochar mu...

In this paper we introduce the notions of G∗L-module and G∗L-module whichare two proper generalizations of δ-lifting modules. We give some characteriza tions and properties of these modules. We show that a G∗L-module decomposesinto a semisimple submodule M1 and a submodule M2 of M such that every non-zero submodule of M2 contains a non-zero δ-cosingular submodule.
