Background: Human error is the most important cause of occupational and non-occupational accidents. Because, it seems necessary to identify, predict and analyze human errors, and also offer appropriate control strategies to reduce errors which cause adverse consequences, the present study was carried out with the aim of identifying human errors while operating meat grinder and offer sugg...

This paper considers a variety of econometric models for the joint distribution of stock and bond returns in the presence of regime switching dynamics. While simple twoor three-state models capture the univariate dynamics in bond and stock returns, a more complicated four state model with regimes characterized as crash, slow growth, bull and bull burst states is required to capture the joint di...

We present a formalism to calculate the probability distribution function of a scalar field coarse-grained over some spatial scales with a Gaussian filter at finite temperature. As an application, we investigate the role of subcritical fluctuations in the electroweak phase transition in the minimal standard model. It is concluded that the universe was in a mixed state of true and false vacua al...

The probability of an event's occurrence affects event-related potentials (ERPs) on electroencephalograms. The relation between probability and potentials has been discussed by using a quantity called surprise that represents the self-information that humans receive from the event. Previous studies have estimated surprise based on the probability distribution in a stationary state. Our hypothes...

We prove that for any Monte Carlo algorithm of Metropolis type, the autocorrelation time of a suitable “energy”-like observable is bounded below by a multiple of the corresponding “specific heat”. This bound does not depend on whether the proposed moves are local or non-local; it depends only on the distance between the desired probability distribution π and the probability distribution π(0) fo...

This article presents a fuzzy sliding-mode control scheme for a class of Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy which are subject to norm-bounded uncertainties in each subsystem. The proposed stabilization method can be adopted to explore T-S uncertain fuzzy systems (TSUFS) with various local control inputs. Firstly, a new design is proposed to transform TSUFS into sliding-mode dynamic systems.In addi...

A comparison technique for random walks on finite graphs is introduced, using the well-known interlacing method. It yields improved return probability bounds. A key feature is the incorporation of parts of the spectrum of the transition matrix other than just the principal eigenvalue. As an application, an upper bound of the expected return probability of a random walk with symmetric transition...

molecular dynamics simulation has been performed to analyze the effect of the presence of gold nanoparticle on dynamics of kob-anderson binary lennard-jones (blj) mixture upon supercooling within the framework of the mode coupling theory of the dynamic glass transition. the presence of gold nanoparticle has a direct effect on the liquid structure and causes the peaks of the radial distribution ...

We developed group-specific tissue probability map (TPM) for gray matter (GM), white matter (WM) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) on the common spatial coordinates of an averaged brain atlas derived from normal controls (NC) and from schizophrenic patients (SZ). To identify differences in group-specific TPMs, we used quantitative evaluation methods based on differences in probabilistic distributio...
