Two objectives dominate consideration of control moment gyroscopes for spacecraft maneuvers: high torque (equivalentlymomentum) and singularity-free operations.This paper adds to the significant bodyof research toward these two goals using a minimal three-control-moment-gyroscope array to provide significant singularity-free momentum performance increase spherically (in all directions) by modif...

In this paper, we propose and study exp-kumaraswamy distribution. Some of its properties  are derived, including the density function, hazard rate function, quantile function, moments,  skewness  and kurtosis.   Adata set isused to illustrate an application of the proposed distribution. Also, we obtain a new distribution by transformation onexp-kumaraswamy distribution.   New distribution is an...

Full simulations of homogeneous isotropic turbulence containing a homogeneous passive scalar were made at low Reynolds numbers and various Prandtl numbers. The results show that the spectral behavior of the two fields are quite similar; both fields decay as power-law functions of time. However. the decay exponent is quite dependent on both the Reynolds and Prandtl numbers. The decay exponent of...

In this paper we develop lower bounds for the spectral radius of symmetric , skew{symmetric, and arbitrary real matrices. Our approach utilizes the well{known Leverrier{Faddeev algorithm for calculating the co-eecients of the characteristic polynomial of a matrix in conjunction with a theorem by Lucas which states that the critical points of a polynomial lie within the convex hull of its roots....

Zang, T.A., On the rotation and skew-symmetric forms for incompressible flow simulations, Applied Numerical Mathematics 7 (1991) 27-40. A variety of numerical simulations of transition and turbulence in incompressible flow are presented to compare the commonly used rotation form with the skew-symmetric (and other) forms of the nonlinear terms. The results indicate that the rotation form is much...

The coupling of tetrazotised 1,8-diaminonaphthalene with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds [acetylacetone,methylacetoacetate and acetoacetanilide] yielded a new series of tetradentate ligand systems. Analytical, IR,1H NMR and mass spectral data indicate that the compounds exist in the intramolecularly hydrogen bondeddihydrazone form. Dibasic tetradentate N2O2 coordination of these compounds in their [ML...

This article derives a standard normal-based power method polynomial transformation for Monte Carlo simulation studies, approximating distributions, and fitting distributions to data based on the method of percentiles. The proposed method is used primarily when (1) conventional (or L) moment-based estimators such as skew (or L-skew) and kurtosis (or L -kurtosis) are unknown or (2) data are unav...
