Sloshing due to ground motion develops large pressure on the walls of water retaining tanks. This paper evaluates the efficacy of padded walls on the reduction of sloshing effects in rectangular water storage tanks subjected to ground motion. An analytical solution based on velocity potential function is provided to obtain the response of  rigid and padded wall tanks in terms of the wave elevat...

The major reason for the prediction of thermodynamic properties of mercury lies in the fact that itsintermolecular interactions highly depend on temperature and density. Internal pressure is a good criterion toinvestigate the density dependence of the interatomic interactions. Because its physical base is a forcetending to close together the molecules that is intermolecular interactions, and as...

we describe how to obtain electronic transport properties of disordered graphene, including the tight binding model and nearest neighbor hopping. we present a new method for computing, electronic transport wave function and greens function of the disordered graphene. in this method, based on the small rectangular approximation, break up the potential barriers in to small parts. then using the f...

 Fitting a suitable covariance function for the correlation structure of spatial-temporal data requires de-trending the data. In this article, some potential models for spatial-temporal trend are presented. Eventually the best model will be announced for de-trending tropospheric ozone concentration data for the city of Tehran (Capital city of Iran). By using the selected trend model, some ...

Multi-agent systems considered in the paper consist of a finite number of agents, positions of which can be changed by system actions, and of an evaluation function which assigns to each agent a value of its current position (as e.g. the distance from the intended target). The set of all possible values is ordered; the intention of each agent is to reach a position with the minimum value. Any s...

Let f and g be distributions and let gn = (g ∗ δn)(x), where δn(x) is a certain sequence converging to the Dirac-delta function δ(x). The noncommutative neutrix product f ◦ g of f and g is defined to be the neutrix limit of the sequence { f gn}, provided the limit h exists in the sense that N-limn→∞〈 f (x)gn(x),φ(x)〉 = 〈h(x),φ(x)〉, for all test functions in . In this paper, using the concept of...

a question of the existence of delta-convergent sequences that vanish at the support of the limit Dirac delta function and gave an example of sequences of this type. It is a sequence of even functions that don't have a compact support. Motivated by the question in this paper we develop some results concerning delta sequences and show more examples of delta sequences of the type with or without ...
