Fluid analysis of Population CTMCs with non-linear evolution rates requires moment closures to transform a linear system with infinitely many ordinary differential equations (ODEs) into a non-linear one with a finite number of ODEs. Due to the ubiquity of kinetics with quadratic rates in physical processes, various closure techniques have been discussed in the context of systems biology and per...

We report theoretical analysis of the electronic flexoelectric effect associated with nanostructures of sp(2) carbon (curved graphene). Through the density functional theory calculations, we establish the universality of the linear dependence of flexoelectric atomic dipole moments on local curvature in various carbon networks (carbon nanotubes, fullerenes with high and low symmetry, and nanocon...

where :Yl denotes the orthogonal complement of Y (see [I]). Another example of this type of duality appears in one of the classical moment problems. Letfbe Bore1 measurable and bounded on [a,b], h,, . . ., h, a CebySev system on [a,b] and for a given positive Bore1 measure yO defined on [a,b] denote by C (y,,) the class of all positive Bore1 measures y which satisfy f.bhkdy=[hkdyo k= 1,2 ,..., ...

Dongjiang water has been the key source of water supplies for Hong Kong and its neighbouring cities in the Pearl River Delta in South China since the mid-1960s. Rapid economic development and population growth in this region have caused serious concerns over the adequacy of the quantity and quality of water withdrawn from the Dongjiang River in the future. Information on the magnitude and frequ...

Abstract We show that moment inequalities in a wide variety of economic applications have particular linear conditional structure. use this structure to construct uniformly valid confidence sets remain computationally tractable even settings with nuisance parameters. first introduce least-favorable critical values which deliver non-conservative tests if all moments are binding. Next, we novel i...

in spite of the development of various improved cultivars of maize, yield in nigeria has continued to be hampered by the over cropped nature of most farmlands as well as a wide range of pests and diseases. this study therefore carried out an analysis of agro-chemical inputs’ use in maize production among small scale farmers in iwo local government area of osun state. specifically, the study inv...

The present study examined the morphometric properties of the forelimb, including the inertial properties of the body segments and the morphometric parameters of 21 muscles spanning the shoulder and/or elbow joints of six Macaca mulatta and three M. fascicularis. Five muscle parameters are presented: optimal fascicle length (L(0)(M)), tendon slack length (L(S)(T)), physiological cross-sectional...
