Background. Research addressing distinctions and similarities between people's malevolent character traits (i.e., the Dark Triad: Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy) has detected inconsistent linear associations to temperament traits. Additionally, these dark traits seem to have a common core expressed as uncooperativeness. Hence, some researchers suggest that the dark traits are bes...

Balinese people have one of the civilization histories and cultural heritage are handwritten in Balinese script on palm leaves known as Balinese Papyrus (LontarAksara Bali). Until now that cultural heritage is still continuously strived its preservation along with the implementation begin to be abandoned in public life. Some of Balinese Papyrus now begins to rot and fade under influenced by age...

this paper presents a new numerical method for solution of eikonal equation in two dimensions.in contrast to the previously developed methods which try to define the solution surface by its level sets(contour curves), the developed methodology identifies the solution surface by resorting to its characteristics. the suggested procedure is based on the geometric properties of the solution surface...

in this paper, the dynamic simulation for a high pressure regulator is performed to obtain the regulator behavior. to analyze the regulator performance, the equation of motion for inner parts, the continuity equation for diverse chambers and the equation for mass flow rate were derived. because of nonlinearity and coupling, these equations are solved using numerical methods and the results are ...

carbon sequestration into plants biomass, especially in fast growing trees is an easier and economically way for dropping off co2 from atmosphere. this study was carried out in order to investigate above-ground biomass of white poplar (populous alba, l.) plantations that was planted in fourdifferent plant spacing (0.5 × 0.5, 1×1, 2×2 and 4×4 m.) in chaharmahal and bakhtiari province in west of ...

bankruptcy is an event with strong impacts on management, shareholders, employees, creditors, customers and other stakeholders, so as bankruptcy challenges the country both socially and economically. therefore, correct prediction of bankruptcy is of high importance in the financial world. this research intends to investigate financial crisis prediction power using models based on neural network...

abstract in current study, an irrigation examination and acquisition of environmental water in kor-river fields, that is dominated from doroudzan dam to bakhtegan lake, was done by an integrated economy-environmental model. the model was considered by economic, hydrologic and agronomic components. in the economic component, an optimal harvesting of water was done using non-linear programming in...

in this article we decide to define a modified homotopy perturbation for solving non-linear integral equations. almost, all of the papers that was presented to solve non-linear problems by the homotopy method, they used from two non-linear and linear operators. but we convert a non-linear problem to two suitable non-linear operators also we use from appropriate bases functions such as legendre ...

hadamard (or complete $cat(0)$) spaces are complete, non-positive curvature, metric spaces. here, we prove a nonlinear ergodic theorem for continuous non-expansive semigroup in these spaces as well as a strong convergence theorem for the commutative case. our results extend the standard non-linear ergodic theorems for non-expansive maps on real hilbert spaces, to non-expansive maps on had...
