Nonlinear dynamic analyses are performed to compute the maximum relative input energy per unit mass for 21 multi-degree-of-freedom systems (MDOF) with preselected target fundamental periods of vibration ranging from 0.2 to 4.0 s and 6 target inter-story ductility demands of 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 subjected to 40 the earthquake ground motions. The efficiency of the several intensity measures as an ind...

this study was conducted to determine a relationship between energy input and yield in greenhouse basil production in esfahan province, iran. data were collected from 26 greenhouse basil producers through a face-to-face questionnaire. the data collected belonged to the production period of 2009–2010 with the following results obtained. a total energy input of 236,057 mj ha-1 was estimated to be...

in a structural time series regression model, binary variables have been used to quantify qualitative or categorical quantitative events such as politic and economic structural breaks, regions, age groups and etc. the use of the binary dummy variables is not reasonable because the effect of an event decreases (increases) gradually over time not at once. the simple and basic idea in this paper i...

Compared to the conventional methods, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are considered to be one of the reliable tools for modeling of complex phenomena such as demand. Aim of this study is to provide a model for gasoline demand in transportation section of Tehran metropolis through multilayered perceptron neural network and using the presented model in analyzing the sensitivity of the model to ...

in this paper, financial services in the iranian as a sector with a leontief production function, this sector buys inputs from other sectors for its productions and provides services to expedite the cash fellows and risk transformation to other sectors, the first relations are called backward linkage and the later relations are called forward linkage, for quantification of the linkage , employm...

The fundamental input-output identities that express the solution for commodity output and price also guarantee that nominal GDP is the same whether measured as the sum of final demand expenditures or as the sum of value added. In the simplified framework in which the identities are usually presented, all relationships hold exactly, and there is one homogenous price for each commodity. However,...

The main objective of this article is to give a survey on elementary functions in the context of quaternionic analysis. We define some of their more common properties, which as in the real and complex cases, will be familiar to the reader. This leads to the consideration of quaternion-valued functions depending on a quaternion variable, that is, functions whose input and output are quaternions....

The transfer function of a linear mechanical system can be defined in terms the quadruplet state-space matrices (A,B,C,D) that identified from input and output measurements with subspace-based identification methods. estimation has been well studied literature both theoretical practical viewpoints. Nonetheless, algorithm for uncertainty quantification its errors resultant parametric is missing ...
