In this investigation Rayleigh-Ritz variational method has been applied to determine the least natural frequency coefficient for the title problem. Classical plate theory assumptions have been used to calculate strain energy and kinetic energy. Coordinate functions are combination of polynomials which satisfy boundary conditions at the outer boundary and trigonometric terms. In the second part ...

This paper aims to investigate the impact of exchange rate pass-through in dollarized economies to domestic inflation and economic growth: evidence from Southeast Asian countries. The panel data for five selected countries (Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, the Philippines and Vietnam) over the period 2000-2015 is employed. The empirical results by using fixed effects estimation found that there is...

Random coe cient regression models have been applied in di erent elds and they constitute a unifying setup for many statistical problems. The nonparametric study of this model started with Beran and Hall (1992) and it has become a fruitful framework. In this paper we propose and study statistics for testing a basic hypothesis concerning this model: the constancy of coe cients. The asymptotic be...

The use of microwave technique has proved to be a viable means for crack detection and sizing surface cracks in metals. In this technique, the surface of the specimen is interrogated with a radiating open-ended waveguide probe and a crack is assumed to be a simple short-circuited rectangular waveguide, causing peturbations in the probe reflection coefficient. Since the growth of fatigue in meta...

Information technology as a more intermediary utilizes the science of the day to provide the necessary data for the specialists, organizations, and ultimately all types of groups in the shortest possible time and in the best possible way. Many countries believe that entrepreneurship has played an indispensable role in improving productivity and economic growth. Since the benefits of tourism ind...

We study models of electrodeposition of hybrid organic-inorganic films with a special focus on the growth of ZnO with eosin Y. First we propose a rate equation model which assumes that the organic additives form branches with an exposed part above the ZnO deposit, growing with larger rate than the pure film and producing ZnO at the exposed length. This accounts for the generation of OH − ions f...

We consider the class of pentagonal 3-polytopal graphs all of whose edges are incident either with two 3-valent vertices or with a 3-valent vertex and a q-valent vertex. For most values of q, (i) we find a small non-hamiltonian graph in the class and (ii) we show that the shortness exponent of the class and the shortness coefficient of a special subclass are less than one. For q--4, we find a p...

Abstract. In examining the relationship between the number of points over Fp on certain Calabi-Yau manifolds and hypergeometric series which correspond to a particular period of the manifold, Rodriguez-Villegas identified 22 possible supercongruences. We provide a framework of congruences covering all 22 cases. Using this framework we prove one of the outstanding supercongruence conjectures bet...
