Importance of verifying queue model assumptions before planning with simulation software

This case study uses empirical data gathered at an Australian refinery to verify the assumptions for queue distributions before using special-purpose software to plan the off-road-truck hauling of titanium dioxide to a refinery (n = 773). Easy-to-use spreadsheet software is utilized to verify assumptions for queue models. Managers are able to make decisions based on economic implications of queue models to avoid making costly planning mistakes. Analysts can use nonparametric hypothesis-testing techniques to verify distribution assumptions for optimization without having to write hard-to-maintain and complex algebraic linear equations or nonlinear search routines.

Infinite-dimensional 4-manifold of finite cohomological dimension under the continuum hypothesis

Under the assumption of the continuum hypothesis, a differentiable 4-manifoldM of dimension dimM=∞ and cohomological dimension cA—dimM=4 is constructed. The spaceM is perfectly normal and hereditarily separable. Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 66, No. 5, pp. 664–670, November, 1999.     

Study on the behavior of oscillating solitons using the (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear system

By means of an extended homogeneous balance method and a variable separation hypothesis, a broad general variable separation solution with three specific arbitrary functions of the nonlinear (2+1)-dimensional Broer-Kaup (BK) equations was derived. Based on the derived solution, a number of abundant oscillating solitons, such as dromion, multi-dromion, solitoff, ring, multi-lump and so on, have been revealed in this study by selecting appropriate functions of the general variable separation solution.

函数型数据回归分析综述

随着计算机储存能力和在线观测技术的提高,当今数据越来越多的以曲线和图像的形式存在.曲线和图像数据两个最显著的特征是高维和相邻数据间高度相关.这些特征使得传统的多元统计分析方法不再适合,而函数型数据在处理曲线和图像数据中具有无可比拟的优势.近年来各种各样的函数型数据分析方法得以发展,其中包括数据的对齐、主成分分析、回归、分类、聚类等.本文主要介绍函数型数据回归分析研究的起源、发展及最新进展.具体地,本文首先介绍函数型数据的概念;其次介绍函数型主成分分析方法;再次着重介绍函数型回归模型的估计、变量选择和检验方法;最后将简要探讨函数型数据未来的可能发展方向.     

Coulomb blockade in molecular quantum dots

The rate-equation approach is used to describe sequential tunneling through a molecular junction in the Coulomb blockade regime. Such device is composed of molecular quantum dot (with discrete energy levels) coupled with two metallic electrodes via potential barriers. Based on this model, we calculate nonlinear transport characteristics (conductance-voltage and current-voltage dependences) and compare them with the results obtained within a self-consistent field approach. It is shown that the shape of transport characteristics is determined by the combined effect of the electronic structure of molecular quantum dots and by the Coulomb blockade. In particular, the following phenomena are discussed in detail: the suppression of the current at higher voltages, the charging-induced rectification effect, the charging-generated changes of conductance gap and the temperature-induced as well as broadening-generated smoothing of current steps.     

The two-dimensional Coulomb gas on a sphere: Exact results

At the special value of the reduced inverse temperature=2, the equilibrium statistical mechanics of a two-dimensional Coulomb gas confined to the surface of a sphere is an exactly solvable problem, just as it was for the Coulomb gas in a plane. The thermodynamic quantities and all the correlation functions can be calculated. Use is made of an isomorphism between the classical Coulomb gas and the free Fermi field theory associated with the Dirac operator on the sphere.Laboratory associated with the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique.     

Electron localization of H_2~+ in a dc electric field

A dc electric field is utilized to steer the electron motion after the molecular ion H_2~+ is excited by an ultrashort ultraviolet laser pulse. The numerical simulation shows that the electron localization distribution and the dissociation control ratio are dependent on the polarization direction and amplitude of the dc electric field. Most electrons of the dissociation state move opposite to the dc electric field and stabilize at the dressed-up potential well, for the dressed-down well is occupied by the electrons of the 1 sσ_g state.     

On the asymptotic existence of Hadamard matrices

It is conjectured that Hadamard matrices exist for all orders 4t (t>0). However, despite a sustained effort over more than five decades, the strongest overall existence results are asymptotic results of the form: for all odd natural numbers k, there is a Hadamard matrix of order k²[a+blog₂k], where a and b are fixed non-negative constants. To prove the Hadamard Conjecture, it is sufficient to show that we may take a=2 and b=0. Since Seberry's ground-breaking result, which showed that we may take a=0 and b=2, there have been several improvements where b has been by stages reduced to 3/8. In this paper, we show that for all ?>0, the set of odd numbers k for which there is a Hadamard matrix of order k²2+[?log₂k] has positive density in the set of natural numbers. The proof adapts a number-theoretic argument of Erdos and Odlyzko to show that there are enough Paley Hadamard matrices to give the result.
