In this paper, three numerical solutions for the Kortewegde Vries Burgers’ (KdVB) equation are presented. Two of these methods are based on cardinal Chebyshev basis function with Galerkin method. Gauss-quadrature formula and El-gendi method are used to convert the problem into system of ordinary differential equations. In the third proposed method, the cardinal Legendre basis function with Gale...

Impacts of global climate change on coral reefs are being amplified by pulse heat stress events, including El Niño, the warm phase of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Despite reports of extensive coral bleaching and up to 97% coral mortality induced by El Niño events, a quantitative synthesis of the nature, intensity, and drivers of El Niño and La Niña impacts on corals is lacking. Here...

EL is a family of tractable Description Logics (DLs) that is the basis of the OWL 2 EL profile. Unlike for many expressive DLs, reasoning in EL can be performed by computing a deductively-closed set of logical consequences of some specific form. In some ontology-based applications, e.g., for ontology debugging, knowing the logical consequences of the ontology axioms is often not sufficient. The...

drought preconditioning (dp) is a method of irrigation with low frequency and longer duration, to extend the root system and suppress drought damage in plants. in the present study, the effect of dp for 30 days on increasing tolerance to drought stress in two turfgrass species, creeping bentgrass (agrostis stolonifera cv.palustris) and tall fescue (festuca arundinacea cv. greystone) was investi...

An electrolarynx is a speaking aid device to artificially generate excitation sounds to help laryngectomees produce electrolaryngeal (EL) speech. Although EL speech is quite intelligible, its naturalness significantly suffers from the unnatural fundamental frequency (F0) patterns of the mechanical excitation sounds. To make it possible to produce more naturally sounding EL speech, we have propo...

In this paper, time-domain dynamic analysis of dam - infinite reservoir is studied. A numerical method, discrete singular convolution (DSC), which seems to be efficient and simple, has been used to model the mixed boundary conditions. After a brief introduction, DSC is applied to model the equation of motion of fluid-structure with constant cross section subjected to El-Centro (1940) earthquake...

In the given work the problem of construction (synthesis) of mathematical model of unknown or littleknown external load (EL) on open dynamic system is considered. Such synthesis is carried out by special processing of the experimentally measured response of dynamic system (method of identification). This problem is considered in two statements: the synthesis of EL for single model and the synth...

The authors investigate the influence of El Niño on midtropospheric CO2 from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) and the Model for Ozone and Related Chemical Tracers, version 2 (MOZART-2). AIRS midtropospheric CO2 data are used to study the temporal and spatial variability of CO2 in response to El Niño. CO2 differences between the central and western Pacific Ocean correlate well with the So...
