In this paper, the Method of Fundamental Solutions (MFS) is extended to solve some special cases of the problem of transient heat conduction in functionally graded materials. First, the problem is transformed to a heat equation with constant coefficients using a suitable new transformation and then the MFS together with the Tikhonov regularization method is used to solve the resulting equation.

We investigate the role of redundancy for exploratory learning of inverse functions, where an agent learns to achieve goals by performing actions and observing outcomes. We present an analysis of linear redundancy and investigate goal-directed exploration approaches, which are empirically successful [1], but hardly theorized except negative results for special cases [2], and prove convergence t...

We first compare the geometric frameworks behind Uhlmann and Berry phases in a fiber-bundle language then evaluate of bosonic fermionic coherent states. The both states are shown to carry information decrease smoothly with temperature. Importantly, approach corresponding as temperature decreases. Together previous examples literature, we propose correspondence between zero-temperature limit gen...

  Purpose: Mesh technique is the standard for inguinal hernia repair because of less recurrence,   but it is inferior or equal to sutured technique in case of other post-operative complications   such as chronic pain. This clinical trial set out to compare these two techniques.   Materials and Methods: A total number of 322 cases of unilateral inguinal hernia in participants   older than 18 yea...
