Ambient PM2.5 exerts strong regional pattern for its ability long-range transport, implying that including the features of surrounding stations may improve accuracy machine-learning based model to estimate surface from satellite-retrieved aerosol optical depth (AOD). However, most current models either just use single point features, or simply average observed adjacent on a fixed spatial propor...

This paper deals with fuzzy logic controllers. Our interest is in studying different techniques of defuzzification methods. In particular, we propose a generalization the WABL method to multiple output system controller. We give numerical realization, and show advantages this compared other methods (MOM, COG, WAF,\ldots) through an application for intelligent control air conditioners.

The purpose of this paper is twofold. Firstly we carry out an extension of the fully discrete third order TVD scheme, for linear case, presented in [8] to nonlinear scalar hyperbolic conservation laws for one and two dimensions. Secondly, we propose a semi-discrete version of the scheme. Time evolution is carried out by the third order TVD RungeKutta method. The advantages of the scheme are its...

This document describes best practice and evidence based recommendations for the use of FDG-PET/CT for the purposes of radiotherapy target volume delineation (TVD) for curative intent treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). These recommendations have been written by an expert advisory group, convened by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to facilitate a Coordinated Research ...

In this paper the effect of quadratic and cubic non-linearities of the system consisting of the crankshaft and torsional vibration damper (TVD) is taken into account. TVD consists of non-linear elastomer material used for controlling the torsional vibration of crankshaft. The method of multiple scales is used to solve the governing equations of the system. Meanwhile, the frequency response of t...

This work evaluates the vectorcardiographic dynamic changes in ischemic patients before and during Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA). Four vectorcardiographic parameters were computed in 51 ischemic and 52 healthy subjects with the objective of assessing the differences between both groups: ST Vector Magnitude Area (STVMa), T Vector Magnitude Area (TVMa), ST Vector Differenc...

The Godunov method for conservation laws produces numerical solutions that are total-variation diminishing (TVD) and converge to weak solutions which satisfy the entropy condition (Entropy Consistency), but the method is only first order accurate. Many second and higher order accurate Godunov–type methods have been developed by various researchers. Although these high order methods perform very...

Abstract. A general procedure to construct a class of simple and efficient high resolution Total Variation Diminishing (TVD) schemes for non-linear hyperbolic conservation laws by introducing anti-diffusive terms with the flux limiters is presented. In the present work the numerical flux function for space discretization is constructed as a combination of numerical flux function of any entropy ...
