n-tuple power law widely exists in language, computer program code, DNA and music. After a vast amount of Zipf analyses of n-tuple power law from empirical data, we propose a model to explain the n-tuple power law feature existed in these information translational carriers. Our model is a preferential selection approach inspired by Simon’s model which explained scaling law of single symbol in a...

One of the interesting properties of curved hand movements is that the speed v is related to the curvature k through a power law: v(t) ∝ k(t)-1/3 , called the ⅔ power law (because the angular speed is proportional to k 2/3). Several models have been proposed to explain the origin of the ⅔ power law from optimality principle: the minimum jerk models to name a few. It seemed the ⅔ power law was a...

In this paper the usefulness of the nth power law MOSFET model under Hot Carrier Injection (HCI) wearout has been experimentally demonstrated. In order to do that, three types of nFET transistors have been analyzed under different HCI conditions and the nth power law MOSFET model has been extracted for each sample. The results show that the model can reproduce the MOSFET behavior under HCI wear...

In the present study, crystal plasticity models applicable for reproducing work-hardening behavior under various loading paths of an A5083-O Al alloy sheet were examined. The consideration tension, reverse from compression to simple shear, and biaxial tension. accumulated-slip-based hardening model with extended Voce law provided good predictive accuracy uniaxial loadings. contrast, it could no...

We propose a power-law growth and decay model for posting data to social networking services before and after social events. We model the time series structure of deviations from the power-law growth and decay with a conditional Poisson autoregressive (AR) model. Online postings related to social events are described by five parameters in the power-law growth and decay model, each of which char...

A 3-D numerical model for pulsed laser transformation hardening (LTH) is developed using the finite element method. In this model, laser spatial and temporal intensity distribution, temperature-dependent thermophysical properties of material, and multi-phase transformations are considered. The influence of laser temporal pulse shape on connectivity of hardened zone, maximum surface temperature ...

In present paper, vibration of Nano FGM plate based on modified couple stress and First Order Shear Deformation Theories (FSDT) under moving load has been developed. Basic equations and linear strains are introduced by first order shear deformation theory and Mori Tanaka’s model is used for the plate. The module of elasticity and density are assumed to vary only through thickness of plate. Gove...

in the first impounding of rockfill dams, additional settlements occur in upstream side in saturated rockfills due to collapse phenomenon even high rainy seasons can cause additional deformation in the dumped rockfills. unfortunately these displacements are not taken into account in the conventional numerical models which are currently used to predict embankment dam behavior during impounding. ...

Compressive properties of electrospun fiber mats are reported for the first time. Mats of bisphenol-A polysulfone (PSU) and of poly(trimethyl hexamethylene terephthalamide) (PA 6(3)T) were electrospun and annealed at a range of temperatures spanning the glass transition temperature of each polymer. The data for applied stress versus mat solidity were found to be well-described by a power law of...
