tires represent a critical spare part in mines. there is a shortage of medium and large tires. in addition, with increased mining activities and the creation of new mines, the demand for tires has increased significantly. thus, it is particularly important for mining engineers to identify tire characteristics and correctly manage the spare part inventory. spare parts management is critical from...

objective: the main objective of this research was estimation of genetic parameters for five consecutive measurements of egg weights in isfahan fowl using multi trait model and random regression models. methods: the statistical models included generation-hatch as a fixed effect, weeks of age as a covariate and additive genetic and individual permanent environmental effects as random effects. th...

We have tested a published algorithm for pharmacokinetic model controlled infusion of propofol to supplement 67% nitrous oxide for general anaesthesia in Chinese children aged 4-10 yr. Initially we studied 10 children undergoing minor procedures with spontaneous ventilation; mean duration of surgery was 38 min and mean propofol infusion rate 497 micrograms kg-1 min-1. The precision of the model...

In this paper, the conventional mean–variance method is revised to determine the optimal portfolio selection under the uncertain situation. The possibilistic area of the return rate is first derived using the possibisitic regression model. Then, the Mellin transformation is employed to obtain the mean and the risk by considering the uncertainty. Next, the revised mean–variance model is proposed...

We show that the Euclidean Wasserstein distance is contractive for inelastic homogeneous Boltzmann kinetic equations in the Maxwellian approximation and its associated Kac-like caricature. This property is as a generalization of the Tanaka theorem to inelastic interactions. Even in the elastic classical Boltzmann equation, we give a simpler proof of the Tanaka theorem than the ones in [25, 27]....
