A method for enclosing matrix polynomials is proposed. This method is applicable when the matrix is diagonalizable and supplies an interval matrix including the matrix polynomial. The computational cost of this method does not depend on the degree of the polynomial. Hence the proposed method is faster than previous approaches when the degree is large. Numerical results show the properties of th...

Bangladesh has extensive floodplain wetlands covering over 4 million ha. These remain an important source of livelihood fish contribute about 60% of national animal protein consumption, and wetland plants are used for fodder, food and construction. Over fishing, short term leasing of use rights, flood control and drainage, and pollution all have negative impacts. In contrast several projects ha...

Abstract – This paper investigates overvoltages on the SF6 substation enclosure caused by the switching operation of the interrupter. The paper analyzes the amplitude and the overvoltage duration on the substation enclosure. Switching overvoltages take part in the everyday drive of HV substations and constitute an undesired phenomenon that may often, beside transient disturbances, lead to undes...

Natural convective laminar flow is numerically investigated in a two-dimensional and square enclosure at various angles of inclination respect to horizontal. Two adjacent walls of the enclosure are insulated and the other two are kept at different temperatures. The influence of Rayleigh number representing the effects due to the differential heating of the enclosure walls as well as the effect ...

Limit cycles can occur when navigating unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) using behavior-based algorithms. Limit cycles occur when the robot is navigating towards the goal but enters an enclosure that has its opening in a direction opposite to the goal. The robot then becomes effectively trapped in the enclosure. This paper reports a solution to the limit cycle problem for robot navigation in very...

This paper presents a numerical study of natural convection within a wavy enclosure heated via corner heating. The considered enclosure is a square enclosure with left wavy side wall. The vertical wavy wall of the enclosure and both of the corner heaters are maintained at constant temperature, T c and T h , respectively, with T h > T c while the remaining horizontal, bottom, top and side walls ...

In this investigation, the effects of enclosure, restal delayed grazing andcontinued grazing treatments on the production rate and vegetation cover were studied.Study area was SadrAbad pasture. After selecting three bands (1+1+1=3 hectare area) asthree treatments in the restricted and non restricted area, they were transected to threetransects. Then plots (1×2m2 ) were selected to measure the p...

In this study, the turbulent buoyancy driven fluid flow and heat transfer in a differentially heated rectangular enclosure filled with water is quantified numerically. The two dimensional governing differential equations are discretized using finite volume method. SIMPLE algorithm employed to obtain stabilized solution for high Rayleigh numbers by computational code written FORTRAN language. A ...

A Meshless Radial Basis Function Method for Fluid Flow with Heat Transfer K Nagamani Devi1, D.W. Pepper2 Summary Over the past few years, efforts have been made to solve fluid flow and heat transfer problems using radial basis functions. This approach is meshless, easy to understand, and simple to implement. Preliminary results indicate accuracies on the order of finely meshed conventional tech...

We describe the development of a formal language for expressing qualitative spatial knowledge. The language is intended as a practical tool for knowledge representation and has been designed with the particular aim of encoding the qualitative spatial information found in an introductory college level biology textbook. We have taken a corpus-driven approach in which we first identify the require...
