Gupta and Shabbir (2008) have suggested an alternative form of ratio-type estimator for estimating the population mean. In this paper, we introduced new estimators by mixing two, stratified and cluster sampling method. Then we improved these estimators by using auxiliary variables and introducing new estimators. For sampling in infinite populations with a high geographic dispersion, the populat...

The present study utilizes an analytical method to formulate the three lowest modal frequencies of axially-loaded notched beam through both crack location and load level in a specific format that can be used in existing frequency-based crack-identification methods. The proposed formula provides a basis to shift into two states, one with axial loading and the other without any loading whatsoever...

The paper considers the visco-elastic response of ice cover in a channel under an external load moving with constant speed along center line. has rectangular cross-section finite depth and width. fluid is inviscid incompressible its motion potential. covered by thin sheet frozen to walls. thickness varies linearly symmetrically across channel, being lowest at highest Ice deflections strains are...

We present a contribution on dynamic load balancing for distributed and parallel object-oriented applications. We specially target peer-to-peer systems and their capability to distribute parallel computation. Using an algorithm for active-object load balancing, we simulate the balance of a parallel application over a peer-to-peer infrastructure. We tune the algorithm parameters in order to obta...

construction of railway embankments on loose beds without using any methods of soil improvement (e.g. stone columns in silt and clay beds, deep soil mixing method, jet grouting and also using micropiles individually or in groups form) leads to  reduction of embankment slope gradient, which significantly increases the volume of soil operation. generally, micropile as a reinforcing element with t...

let $a$ be a nite dimensional $k-$algebra and $r$ be a locally bounded category such that $r rightarrow r/g = a$ is a galois covering dened by the action of a torsion-free group of automorphisms of $r$. following [30], we provide criteria on the convex subcategories of a strongly simply connected category r in order to be a cycle- nite category and describe the module category of $a$. we pro...

the graphical technique for nonlinear circuits was described that enable us to optimize circuits to obtain maximum output power, maximum efficiency or minimum intermodulation. according to this method a high power amplifier in the ka band was designed. using a nonlinear model of the transistor, optimum slope for load-line was determined so that maximum power at the output was obtainable, then ...
