in a structural time series regression model, binary variables have been used to quantify qualitative or categorical quantitative events such as politic and economic structural breaks, regions, age groups and etc. the use of the binary dummy variables is not reasonable because the effect of an event decreases (increases) gradually over time not at once. the simple and basic idea in this paper i...

In this research, the behaviour of the differential equation governing volume flow through a pressure-controlled valve is examined with particular attention given to the rather troublesome transition between an open and closed valve. A closed-form solution for the time evolution of volume flow is given and used to derive an update for the volume flow. The result is a smooth, nearly alias free t...

We perform experiments on two different dense colloidal suspensions with confocal microscopy to probe the relationship between local structure and dynamics near the glass transition. We calculate the Voronoi volume for our particles and show that this quantity is not a universal probe of glassy structure for all colloidal suspensions. We correlate the Voronoi volume to displacement and find tha...

The complexation reactions of some transition metal ions and 2-aminopyridine (2-ampy) were studied potentiometrically in aqueous solution at µ=0.1 M and 25 °C. The overall stability constants log β’s of all species are obtained by computer refinement of pH-volume data with using the BEST computer program. Several models were tested and the best one accepted according to the least sum of squ...

The local density approximation combined with dynamical mean-field theory is applied to study the paramagnetic and magnetically ordered phases of hematite Fe2O3 as a function of volume. As the volume is decreased, a simultaneous first-order insulator-metal and high-spin to low-spin transition occurs close to the experimental value of the critical volume. The high-spin insulating phase is destro...

Changes in the internal energy of lipids with temperature are related to both lipid volume and area changes. Close to the chain melting transition of lipid bilayers volume and enthalpy fluctuations generally follow proportional functions. This makes it possible to calculate the relationship between membrane excess heat capacity with lipid volume, area compressibility and the membrane bending mo...
