Computation of moisture and temperature profiles in soil—The coupled model

The coupled model has been developed in this study for moisture transport and beat exchange in soil. The model is driven by atmospheric conditions measured in a field. The concept that soil has a surface resistance to evaporation is introduced in order to relate the evaporation from surface with the vapour flux in air. With the use of this concept, the simulation results agree quite well with the measured data.     

Algorithmic analysis of theMAP/PH/1 retrial queue

In this paper the distribution of the maximum number of customers in a retrial orbit for a single server queue with Markovian arrival process and phase type services is studied.

The Modified Group Expansions for Construction of Solutions to the BBGKY Hierarchy

A solution to the BBGKY hierarchy for nonequilibrium distribution functions is obtained within modified boundary conditions. The boundary conditions take into account explicitly both the nonequilibrium one-particle distribution function as well as local conservation laws. As a result, modified group expansions are proposed. On the basis of these expansions, a generalized kinetic equation for hard spheres and a generalized Bogolubov–Lenard–Balescu kinetic equation for a dense electron gas are derived within the polarization approximation.     

Kinetics of muonic hydrogen drift in axial symmetric geometry

The kinetics of muonic atoms of hydrogen isotopes in an axially symmetric trap is studied. The problem of the determination of the initial kinetic energy distribution of µp and µd atoms from time-of-flight spectra is discussed. The effects of the scattering of muonic atoms from gas and of the stopping distribution are evaluated. When the collision length is much larger than the target radius, the moments of the kinetic energy distribution are shown to be determined by the time-of-flight spectrum in a model-independent way.     

Current distribution on a three-dimensional,bond-diluted,random-resistor network at the percolation threshold

Current and logarithm-current distributions on a three-dimensional random-bond percolation cubic network were studied at the percolation threshold by computer simulations. Predictions of a hierarchical model that combine fractal structure and randomness agree with our numerical simulations. In the thermodynamic limit the logarithm-current distribution exhibits ann(ln(i))i ^1/3 dependence below some characteristic currenti _c. This distribution may scale with lni/lnL, but the data are insufficient to make this a definite conclusion. Due to the small range of lnL considered, a study of the moments does not reveal this behavior and a study of the distribution itself is required.     

Random tunneling by means of acceptance-rejection sampling for global optimization

Any global minimization algorithm is made by several local searches performed sequentially. In the classical multistart algorithm, the starting point for each new local search is selected at random uniformly in the region of interest. In the tunneling algorithm, such a starting point is required to have the same function value obtained by the last local minimization. We introduce the class of acceptance-rejection based algorithms in order to investigate intermediate procedures. A particular instance is to choose at random the new point approximately according to a Boltzmann distribution, whose temperatureT is updated during the algorithm. AsT 0, such distribution peaks around the global minima of the cost function, producing a kind of random tunneling effect. The motivation for such an approach comes from recent works on the simulated annealing approach in global optimization. The resulting algorithm has been tested on several examples proposed in the literature.     

Likelihood estimation of soft-core interaction potentials for Gibbsian point patterns

The likelihood method is developed for the analysis of socalled regular point patterns. Approximating the normalizing factor of Gibbs canonical distribution, we simultaneously estimate two parameters, one for the scale and the other which measures the softness (or hardness), of repulsive interactions between points. The approximations are useful up to a considerably high density. Some real data are analyzed to illustrate the utility of the parameters for characterizing the regular point pattern.

Size distribution of fractured areas in one-dimensional systems

We study a one-dimensional model for fracture, identifying fractured areas with intervals on which a stress field exceeds a threshold value. When is a diffusion process, the cumulative numberN(l) of fractured areas whose length is greater thanl obeys a power lawCl ^–p asl0 with probability one. The exponentp and the constantC are determined. The exponentp agrees with the Hausdorff dimension of the end points of fractured areas, i.e., ^–1(). Even if is self-similar with parameterH>0, i.e.,(cx)– is equivalent toc ^H {(x)–} for anyc>0, the exponentp does not depend solely onH;p=H, where(0, 1/H) is another parameter characterizing. Non-diffusion processes are given whereN(l) does not follow a power law.
