This paper proposes a continuous leakage location method based on the ultrasonic array sensor, which is specific to continuous gas leakage in a pressure container with an integral stiffener. This method collects the ultrasonic signals generated from the leakage hole through the piezoelectric ultrasonic sensor array, and analyzes the space-time correlation of every collected signal in the array....

When faced with a fly ball approaching along the sagittal plane, fielders need information for the control of their running to the interception location. This information could be available in the initial part of the ball trajectory, such that the interception location can be predicted from its initial conditions. Alternatively, such predictive information is not available, and running to the i...

The local bend is a directed behavior produced by the leech, Hirudo medicinalis, in response to a light touch. Contraction of longitudinal muscles near the touched location results in a bend directed away from the stimulus. We quantify the relationship between the location of touch around the body perimeter and the behavioral output by using video analysis, muscle tension measurements, and elec...

This paper proposes a continuum approximation model framework to solve a dynamic facility location problem for a large-scale growing market. The objective is to determine the optimal facility location and deployment time that minimize the costs for facility construction and customer service. To overcome computational challenge, a continuous approximation model is developed to find the optimal f...

We propose a continuous-time version of the correlated random walk model for animal telemetry data. The continuous-time formulation allows data that have been nonuniformly collected over time to be modeled without subsampling, interpolation, or aggregation to obtain a set of locations uniformly spaced in time. The model is derived from a continuous-time Ornstein-Uhlenbeck velocity process that ...

in this paper we introduce continuous $g$-bessel multipliers in hilbert spaces and investigate some of their properties. we provide some conditions under which a continuous $g$-bessel multiplier is a compact operator. also, we show the continuous dependency of continuous $g$-bessel multipliers on their parameters.

This paper aims at determining the optimal number of new facilities besides specifying both the optimal location and design level of them under the budget constraint in a competitive environment by a novel hybrid continuous and discrete firefly algorithm. A real-world application of locating new chain stores in the city of Tehran, Iran, is used and the results are analyzed. In addition, several...
