The calculation of orbital fluctuations and of the phase-orbital correlation within Floquet-based noise analysis of autonomous systems requires the availability of all the direct and adjoint Floquet eigenvectors associated with the noiseless limit cycle. Here the authors introduce a novel numerical technique for their frequency domain determination. The algorithm is entirely based on the Jacobi...

Abstract The current built stock in Europe is large and energetically inefficient due to material decay caused by lifelong use lack of maintenance, combined. New buildings are commissioned delivered everyday with an environmental cost, calculated using the Life Cycle Assessment methodology. LCA now widely requested for new assets, while existing ones left demolition consequent carbon emissions ...

background and purpose: sample size and its determination is one of the most important problems in health researches. calculating sample size for prevalence studies is one of the common questions of sample size topics. minimum sample size with least complexity is desirable in order to achieve the basic goal of these studies. this study aims to compare two formulas of sample size calculation for...

This study has developed a production inventory model where the cycle timeis fuzzy, the existence of defective products is assumed in each batch andproduct screening is performed both in-production and after-production.Triangular fuzzy numbers serve to model uncertainties in the cycle time, anda fuzzified total inventory profit function is created by thedefuzzifica...

The reversal of the mitochondrial isocitrate dehydrogenase reaction was investigated in rat livers perfused with [U-13C5]glutamate or [U-13C5]glutamine. The mass isotopomer distribution of citric acid cycle intermediates extracted from the livers was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Citrate was enriched in an isotopomer containing five 13C. The formation of this isotopomer ca...
