in thermal cracking plants, it is desired to apply an optimal temperature profile along the reactor to minimize the operation cost. in this article a simulator is developed by the use of a mathematical model, which describes the static operation of a naphtha thermal cracking pilot plant. the model is used to predict the steady state profiles of the gas temperature and product yields. using a dy...

We apply methods of quantum mechanics for mathematical modeling of price dynamics at financial market. We propose to describe behavioral financial factors (e.g., expectations of traders) by using the pilot wave (Bohmian) model of quantum mechanics. Our Bohmian model is a quantum-like model for the financial market, cf. with works of W. Segal, I. E. Segal, E. Haven. Our model expresses complexit...

In the construction process of smart grid, an assessment on primary equipments intelligent transformation is an urgent content in the first batch of intelligent substation pilot project. Wide investigation of intelligent substation pilot projects was conducted seriously in several regional power grids in China. An mathematical model was established to assess the substation primary equipments in...

108 INTRODUCTION Altruistic behaviours have been the object of abundant theoretical and empirical social science research for some thirty years (Chac—n, 1985, Piliavin and Charng, 1990). In this field there are two tendencies that have captured the majority of research attention. The first of these is represented by unexpected situations in which help is offered to strangers, reflecting the alt...

Researchers at Washington State University conducted an independent evaluation of the first year of the Washington State Early Childhood Education Career and Wage Ladder Pilot Program. The evaluation, which compared ladder centers with a control group, verified that the career and wage ladder works to improve the quality of early childhood education by reducing teacher turnover and encouraging ...

Figure 1. PILOT telescope, enclosure and tower INTRODUCTION PILOT (The Pathfinder for an International Large Optical Telescope) is a 2.4m optical/infrared telescope, proposed for Dome C on the Antarctic Plateau, with target first light at the end of 2012.

Scientific problems that depend on processing large amounts of data require overcoming challenges in multiple areas: managing large-scale data distribution, controlling co-placement and scheduling of data with compute resources, and storing, transferring, and managing large volumes of data. Although there exist multiple approaches to addressing each of these challenges and the complexity of dis...

Creativity can be understood in analogous ways across both arts and sciences. A central component of artistic creativity is the ability to generate many different expressions. Scientific creativity involves the ability to generate various novel solutions to problems. This means a possible way to augment creativity in both arts and science is to seek to increase our ability to generate many expr...
