zirconium dioxide, commonly known as zirconia, is an interesting material and is receiving growing attention due to its excellent mechanical properties. the solid was characterized for surface area measurements, scanningelectron microscopy (sem), energy dispersive x-ray diffractometry (edx) and potentiometric titrations. surface titrations were carried out at the temperature range 303 to 323k i...

In posturographic recordings, the center of pressure (COP) displacement does not accurately reflect migration of the gravity line (GL), the vertical line passing through the body's center of gravity, COG. Since the horizontal ground reaction force, Fx, is proportional to the horizontal acceleration of the COG its second integral does represent the horizontal position of the gravity line (GLP). ...

Equilibrium problems have many uses in optimization theory and convex analysis and which is why different methods are presented for solving equilibrium problems in different spaces, such as Hilbert spaces and Banach spaces. The purpose of this paper is to provide a method for obtaining a solution to the equilibrium problem in Banach spaces. In fact, we consider a hybrid proximal point algorithm...

Exotic dark matter and dark energy together seem to dominate in the Universe. Supersymmetry naturally provides a candidate for the dark matter constituents via the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP). The most important process for directly detecting dark matter is the LSP-nucleus elastic scattering by measuring the energy of the recoiling nucleus. In the present work we explore a novel proc...

We consider column sufficient linear complementarity problems and study the problem of identifying those variables that are zero at a solution. To this end we propose a new, computationally inexpensive technique that is based on growth functions. We analyze in detail the theoretical properties of the identification technique and test it numerically. The identification technique is particularly ...

The worldwide demand for green energy systems is evident. In this context, wind energy converters will play a paramount role. Extending the service life of a wind energy converter translates into significant economic savings as well as ecological earnings. New opportunities for the management and operation of the wind energy converters make it beneficial to know the structural condition and the...

We propose an iterated version of Nesterov’s first-order smoothing method for the two-person zero-sum game equilibrium problem min x∈Q1 max y∈Q2 xAy = max y∈Q2 min x∈Q1 xAy. This formulation applies to matrix games as well as sequential games. Our new algorithmic scheme computes an -equilibrium to this min-max problem in O ( ‖A‖ δ(A) ln(1/ ) ) first-order iterations, where δ(A) is a certain con...
