micropolar plasticity provides the capability to carry out post-failure simulations of geo-structures due to microstructural considerations and embedded length scale in its formulation. an essential part of the numerical implementation of a micropolar plasticity model is the integration of the rate constitutive equations. efficiency and robustness of the implementation hinge on the type of inte...

one of the important problems in project management is lack of available resources in proper time at project site that leads to lack of project implementation in due date. this problem may be lead to time delay in sending resources from suppliers and related origins in supply chain to project site. therfore, to better resources managmenet and also the improvement of supply chain condition, the ...

A computational code has been developed for analyzing 3-D radiation problems in curved geometries. To accomplish this, a suitable formulation is developed considering Maxwell equations in a general coordinate system and numerically solved by the use of a parallel curvilinear finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. In order to validate the computational code, the method analyzes a microstri...

We show that the discrete complex, and numerous hypercomplex, Fourier transforms defined and used so far by a number of different researchers can be unified into a single theoretical framework based on a matrix exponential version of Euler’s formula e = cos θ + j sin θ, and a matrix root of −1 isomorphic to the imaginary root j. The transforms thus defined can be computed numerically using stan...

This paper introduces the Bloscpack file format and the accompanying Python reference implementation. Bloscpack is a lightweight, compressed binary file-format based on the Blosc codec and is designed for lightweight, fast serialization of numerical data. This article presents the features of the file-format and some some API aspects of the reference implementation, in particular the ability to...

The problem of the logarithmic discretization of an arbitrary positive function (such as the density of states) is studied in general terms. Logarithmic discretization has arbitrary high resolution around some chosen point (such as Fermi level) and it finds application, for example, in the numerical renormalization group (NRG) approach to quantum impurity problems (Kondo model), where the conti...

Reports of how different countries are responding to the need to develop more integrated health and social care services for older adults can provide useful lessons for other health systems. However an understanding of how the wider structural, political, economic and cultural context affects implementation of these models of care is essential when considering the potential for models to be sca...

We develop and apply the product integration method to a large class of linear weakly singular Volterra systems. We show that under certain sufficient conditions this method converges. Numerical implementation of the method is illustrated by a benchmark problem originated from heat conduction.
