In a previous paper [I. Bena, M. Malek Mansour, and F. Baras, Phys. Rev. E 59, 5503 (1999)] the statistical properties of linearized Kolmogorov flow were studied, using the formalism of fluctuating hydrodynamics. In this paper the nonlinear regime is considered, with emphasis on the statistical properties of the flow near the first instability. The normal form amplitude equation is derived for ...

travel a lot. He received his primary education in Tehran and Babolsar and his high school education in Bandar-e-Anzali, Gorgan, and Tehran. Shamsa graduated as a general practitioner (GP) from the University of Tehran in 1950. His GP thesis was on the reservoirs of Leishmania tropica in Iran.2 Shamsa served as an assistant at the Pasteur Institute of Iran (PII) during 1949 – 1955. In 1955, he ...

Two recent works have shown that at small Knudsen number (K) the pressure and temperature profiles in plane Poiseuille flow exhibit a different qualitative behavior from the profiles obtained by the Navier-Stokes equations. Tij and Santos [J. Stat. Phys. 76, 1399 (1994)] used the Bhatnagar-Gross-Kook model to show that the temperature profile is bimodal and the pressure profile is nonconstant. ...

Policy Iteration (PI) (Howard 1960) is a classical method for computing an optimal policy for a finite Markov Decision Problem (MDP). The method is conceptually simple: starting from some initial policy, “policy improvement” is repeatedly performed to obtain progressively dominating policies, until eventually, an optimal policy is reached. Being remarkably efficient in practice, PI is often fav...

During a survey the occurrence of Kudoa quraishii Mansour, Harrath, Abd-Elkader, Alwasel, Abdel-Baki et Al Omar, 2014, recently identified in the muscles of the Indian mackerel, Rastrelliger kanagurta (Cuvier), a species of Kudoa Meglitsch, 1947 infecting oocytes of mature females of the same host fish was found. The new species, for which the name Kudoa saudiensis sp. n. is proposed, infects o...

The subject of Gray codes algorithms for the set partitions of {1, 2, . . . , n} had been covered in several works. The first Gray code for that set was introduced by Knuth [3], later, Ruskey presented a modified version of Knuth’s algorithm with distance two, Ehrlich [5] introduced a loop-free algorithm for the set of partitions of {1, 2, . . . , n}, Ruskey and Savage [16] generalized Ehrlich’...

Learning probabilities (p-concepts [13]) and other real-valued concepts (regression) is an important role of machine learning. For example, a doctor may need to predict the probability of getting a disease P [y|x], which depends on a number of risk factors. Generalized additive models [9] are a well-studied nonparametric model in the statistics literature, usually with monotonic link functions....

In Western countries, France accounts for the most concerned by imported malaria. The objective of the present study was to describe the epidemiological and clinical features of importedmalaria in adults attending the University Hospital Center (UHC) ofBordeaux and to compare these findingswith the French national epidemiological data. A retrospective analysis of all patients aged over 15 years...
