Soil classification systems organize soil variability into useful groupings that can be identified by field investigation and documented in soil survey, and form the basis for the exchange and extension of soil science research and soil resources management. Fuzzy clustering analysis may be used whenever a composite classification of soil incorporates multiple parameters. In this paper, seventy...

Neumaier’s Method For The Solution Of Initial Value Problems For Stiff Ordinary Differential Equations Annie Hsiao Chen Yuk Master of Science Graduate Department of Computer Science University of Toronto 2005 Compared with standard numerical methods for initial value problems (IVPs) for ordinary differential equations (ODEs), validated methods not only compute a numerical solution to a problem,...

General linear methods were derived approximately thirty years ago as a unifying approach for the study of consistency, stability and convergence of the Runge-Kutta and the linear multistep methods. Their discovery opened the possibility of obtaining essentially new methods which were neither Runge-Kutta nor linear multistep methods nor slight variations of these methods. It was hoped that gene...

The paper presents a study upon the possibility to use adaptive-network-based fuzzy inference method (ANFIS) in the identification of distributed parameter systems, implementing a distributed sensor network in the system. Some main properties of different identification methods are presented with possible application. The fuzzy systems, implemented using rule bases, fuzzy values, membership fun...

rolling-based seismic isolation systems, in which rollers of circular or non-circular section are used, are less expensive and easier to manufacture. however, this type of isolation suffers from either lack of restoring or re-centering capability, or weakness against uplift forces. to resolve the first shortcoming the use of elliptical as well as pillow-shape rolling parts has been suggested, a...

the edge detour index polynomials were recently introduced for computing theedge detour indices. in this paper we nd relations among edge detour polynomials for the2-dimensional graph of tuc4c8(s) in a euclidean plane and tuc4c8(s) nanotorus.
