Numbers are thought to be spatially organized along a left-to-right horizontal axis with small/large numbers on its left/right respectively. Behavioral evidence for this mental number line (MNL) comes from studies showing that the reallocation of spatial attention by active left/right head rotation facilitated the generation of small/large numbers respectively. While spatial biases in random nu...

Single-Instruction, Multiple-Data (SIMD) random number generators (RNGs) take advantage of vector units to offer significant performance gain over non-vectorized libraries, but they often rely on batch production of deviates from distributions with fixed parameters. In many statistical applications such as Gibbs sampling, parameters of sampled distributions change from one iteration to the next...

In this paper, we explore and analyze the structure and functions of Random Number Generator (RNG) in Windows and Linux opreating systems. And compare the capabilities of their RNGs. It expected that this research would contribute to awareness of the quality and security of the random number generators implemented in Linux and Windows operating systems. It provides unbiased academic research in...

Harvesting a winter rye energy cover crop (Secale cereale L.) could help sustain growing food and demand, provide new revenue streams, enhance ecosystem services without inducing land-use change. A two-year field experiment with three planting methods N fertilization rates (0, 60, 120 kg ha−1) that produced >5.0 Mg ha−1 yr−1 of biomass was evaluated for (1) fresh anaerobically digested forag...

With traditional natural gas being one of the top options for heating in United States and present threat climate change, there is a demand an alternative clean fuel source. A Renewable Natural Gas Implementation Decision-Making Conceptual Model was created to provide framework considering feasibility renewable (RNG) projects applied New Jersey, specifically investigating landfills wastewater t...

The Fuzzy C-means (FCM) method with Fourier coefficient based distance was firstly used to construct the vortex features and analyze large-scale unsteady flow pattern around building by transient ensemble velocity magnitude Q criterion value. performance of Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) turbulence models, including Standardk−εmodel, Realizablek−ε, Renormalization Group (RNG) theoryk−ε...

UNLABELLED Accurate prediction of ventilation flow is of primary importance for designing a healthy, comfortable, and energy-efficient indoor environment. Since the 1970s, the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has increased tremendously, and nowadays, it is one of the primary methods to assess ventilation flow in buildings. The most commonly used numerical approach consists of solving t...
