趋旋性微生物在幂律流体饱和水平多孔层中的热-生物对流稳定性分析

基于趋旋性微生物和幂律流体模型,研究了在含有非Newton流体饱和多孔介质中生物对流的线性稳定性问题.利用Galerkin数值方法求解了该系统的控制方程,得到生物Rayleigh数的数值解,讨论了非Newton流体的幂律指数对生物对流稳定性在假塑性流体和膨胀性流体间的变化规律.研究结果表明,随着幂律流体的速度增大,幂律指数对生物对流稳定性的影响会发生变化,并且这种变化会受到热Rayleigh数和生物Lewis数的影响.另外,微生物趋旋性特征越明显,生物对流系统就越不稳定,而适当增大非Newton流体的幂律指数则有利于系统的稳定性.

The impact of preventive activities on the economics of production systems: Modeling and application

In this paper, the impact of preventive activities on the economics of production systems has been discussed. A defective production system has been used to evaluate the financial return of a system with and without preventive activity. A mathematical model has been developed to simulate the situation. A practical case in the automotive industry has been used to verify the model. According to this research, it has been found that preventive activities will affect the return of the production system, and the effect depends on the cost of the action that has been taken.     

A mathematical model for a distributed attack on targeted resources in a computer network

A mathematical model has been developed to analyze the spread of a distributed attack on critical targeted resources in a network. The model provides an epidemic framework with two sub-frameworks to consider the difference between the overall behavior of the attacking hosts and the targeted resources. The analysis focuses on obtaining threshold conditions that determine the success or failure of such attacks. Considering the criticality of the systems involved and the strength of the defence mechanism involved, a measure has been suggested that highlights the level of success that has been achieved by the attacker. To understand the overall dynamics of the system in the long run, its equilibrium points have been obtained and their stability has been analyzed, and conditions for their stability have been outlined.     

Terminal motion of a thin elliptical plate over a horizontal plane with orthotropic friction

The problem on the terminal motion of a thin elliptic plate over a horizontal plane taking into account orthotropic friction forces has been considered. Differential equations of the movement of the plate have been derived. The system of equations has been numerically solved under various initial conditions. It has been shown that sliding and spinning cease simultaneously. It has been found that the limiting behavior of the plate is governed not only by the ratio of the moment of inertia to the coefficient of friction, but also by the orientation of the plate. A comparison of the behaviors of the elliptic and circular plates has been carried out. The results of the calculations can be used to describe the phenomena that occur in a rail–wheel contact in more detail.     

Dirichlet Problem for a Fractional-Order Ordinary Differential Equation with Retarded Argument

A solution of the Dirichlet problem for a fractional-order ordinary differential equation has been found. Green’s function has been constructed for the problem concerned. The problem solution has been written in terms of Green’s function. A theorem on the existence and uniqueness of a solution of the posed problem has been proved, and a condition for its unique solvability has been derived. It is shown that the condition of solvability may only be violated a finite number of times.     

Fuzzy periodic review system with fuzzy random variable demand

In this paper, a periodic review inventory system has been analyzed in a mixed imprecise and uncertain environment where fuzziness and randomness appear simultaneously. A model has been developed with customer demand assumed to be a fuzzy random variable. The lead-time has been assumed to be a constant. The lead-time demand and the lead-time plus one period’s demand have also been assumed to be fuzzy random variables. A methodology has been developed to determine the optimal inventory level and the optimal period of review such that the total expected annual cost in the fuzzy sense is minimized. A numerical example has been presented to illustrate the model.     

Chaos in a topologically transitive system

The chaotic phenomena have been studied in a topologically transitive system and it has been shown that the erratic time dependence of orbits in such a topologically transitive system is more complicated than what described by the well-known technology "Li-Yorke chaos". The concept "sensitive dependency on initial conditions" has been generalized, and the chaotic phenomena has been discussed for transitive systems with the generalized sensitive dependency property.     

Introducing a modified gradient vector method for optimization of accident prediction non-linear functions

In this paper, a new optimization method has been proposed for accident prediction non-linear models. This has been achieved by eliminating the Hessian matrix from the equation of optimal pace length in the gradient vector method. One advantage is that it is independent of the starting point in optimization processes and it provides convergence at the highest top as well. This method has been tested on an accident prediction model and its preference over the gradient vector method has been proven.     

Economic order quantity model and Taguchi’s cost of poor quality

In this paper we consider defective products and Taguchi’s cost of poor quality in the economic order quantity (EOQ) model. We assume that the product quality performs a normal distribution function, and the Taguchi’s poor quality cost has been involved. From our analysis, it has been found that the annual profit will be decreased if the poor quality of product and Taguchi’s quality cost are involved in the model. It has also been found that economic order quantity in our model is larger than that in a traditional EOQ model.     

Valuations and rank of ordered abelian groups

It is shown that there exists an ordered abelian group that has no smallest positive element and that has no sequence of nonzero elements converging to zero. Some formulae for the rank of ordered abelian groups have been derived and a necessary condition for an order type to be rank of an ordered abelian group has been discussed. These facts have been translated to the spectrum of a valuation ring using some well-known results in valuation theory.

     

The linear search problem rides again

The Linear Search Problem concerns a search for a point in the real line by continuous motion starting at 0. The optimal turning points for such a search under the hypothesis that the location of the target is distributed normally about 0 have been approximated by mechanical calculation, but no proof has been given that there is only a single minimizing strategy or that the numbers calculated do indeed approximate that strategy. Plausible arguments have been made before, both by these authors and others. In this paper, the plausible arguments are supplanted by mathematical proofs.
