in this paper a novel process monitoring scheme for reducing the type і and type іі error rates in the monitoring phase is proposed. first, the proposed approach uses an augmented data matrix to implement the process dynamic. then, we apply independent component analysis (ica) transformation to the augmented data matrix, and eliminate the outliers using the local outlier factor (lof) algorithm....

offshore jacket-type towers are steel structures designed and constructed in marine environments for various purposes such as oil exploration and exploitation units, oceanographic research, and undersea testing. in this paper a newly developed meta-heuristic algorithm, namely cyclical parthenogenesis algorithm (cpa), is utilized for sizing optimization of a jacket-type offshore structure. the a...

To what extent does cultural distance interfere with or limit literary experience? What kind of intimacy is needed to make a text into work? This essay seeks answer these questions by focusing on the writings Arvind Krishna Mehrotra. In doing so, it suggests that challenges may be most acute when dealing texts from homo-linguistic environments, and we might overcome undertaking world criticism ...

In the course of analyzing a wide variety of knowledge-based systems, Pragati has found many types of cluster-based relationships that can enable analysts and developers to comprehend, maintain, and reuse such systems more effectively. Pragati’s cluster-based analysis of numerous knowledge-based systems through its Multi-ViewPoint Clustering Analysis (MVP-CA) Tool [Mehrotra & Bobrovnikoff 2002]...

We establishe the polynomial convergence of a new class of pathfollowing methods for linear complementarity problems (LCP). Namely, we show that the predictor-corrector methods based on the L2 norm neighborhood. Mathematics Subject Classification: 90C33, 65G20, 65G50

This note points out an error in the local quadratic convergence proof of the predictorcorrector interior-point algorithm for solving the semidefinite linear complementarity problem based on the Alizadeh–Haeberly–Overton search direction presented in [M. Kojima, M. Shida, and S. Shindoh, SIAM J. Optim., 9 (1999), pp. 444–465]. Their algorithm is slightly modified and the local quadratic converg...

Review Article ORAL MANIFESTATIONS OF PEDIATRIC AIDS: A REVIEW Garg K, Singh G, Mehrotra V, Raju SM, Singh R Abstract: Oral manifestations are often among the 1 symptoms of HIV/AIDS and thus can be useful in early detection of the disease. The distribution of some of the specific oral manifestations are reported to differ between adults and children HIV.As the oral manifestations are among the ...

a disk wang-bézier type generalized ball curve is a wang-bézier type generalized ball curve whose control points are disks in a plane. it can be viewed as a parametric curve with error tolerances. in this paper, we discuss the problem of degree reduction of disk wang-bézier type generalized ball curve, that is, bounding disk wang-bézier type generalized ball curves with lower degree disk wang-b...
