In this study, stable lattices of terpolymer butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, and styrene were synthesized by a mini-emulsion polymerization technique using tert-butyl hydroperoxide TBHP/Fe2 /ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid/sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate redox initiators at room temperature, and the kinetics of the reaction were studied. The reaction rate was obtained from periodic samplin...

the source of cement in oilfields is critical to the prediction of the distribution of cements in the reservoirs and also prediction of reservoir quality. the source of mineral forming cements has been determined for the storrington oolitic carbonate reservoir (middle jurassic great oolite formation, weald basin, onshore uk) using a combination of petrography, electron microscopy, fluid inclusi...

First, we propose two versions of a sliding window, block based parameter estimator for estimating the parameters in a symmetrical stable distribution. The proposed estimator is suitable for parameter estimation in audio signals. Second, the suitability of the stable distribution, for modelling audio signals, is discussed. For a broad class of audio signals, the distribution and the stationarit...

A stable mixture distribution is presented as a model for intermediate range financial logarithmic returns. The model is developed from the observation of high frequency one minute market returns, which can be well modeled by random noise generated by a stable distribution multiplied by a non-random market parameter which is a measure of market volatility. The stable distribution has an Α param...

This paper presents two new properties of BGP routes. First, it shows that the frequency of autonomous systems (ASs) appearing in path vectors follow a Power-Law relationship. Secondly, it shows that path lengths can be characterized accurately by stable distributions. The main implication of these properties is that it allows the creation of realistic forwarding tables for simulation studies. ...

Explicit closed forms are derived for the probability density function of the stable distribution Sα(β, γ, μ), α ∈ (1, 2]. Consequent asymptotic expansions are given. The expressions involve the Srivastava-Daoust generalized Kampé de Fériet hypergeometric S-function, the Fox-Wright generalized hypergeometric Ψ-function, and the Gauss hypergeometric function 2F1. 2000 Mathematics subject classif...
