The characterization of the dynamics associated with electroencephalogram (EEG) signal combining an orthogonal discrete wavelet transform analysis with quantifiers originated from information theory is reviewed. In addition, an extension of this meth...

The computational prediction of nonlinear interactive instabilities in three-dimensional boundary layers is obtained for a warm dense plasma boundary layer environment. The method is applied to the Richtmyer–Meshkov flow over the rippled surface of...

Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is one of the large-scale energy storage technologies utilized to provide effective power peak load shaving. In this paper, a coal-fired external combustion CAES, which only uses coal as fuel, is proposed. Unlike...

The purpose of this article is to study the heat transfer characteristics of a voice-coil and permanent magnet for a speaker using nano-sized ferrofluid. In order to investigate the temperature characteristics of the speaker, the speaker power ratin...

Entropy estimation metrics have become a widely used method to identify subtle changes or hidden features in biomedical records. These methods have been more effective than conventional linear techniques in a number of signal classification applicati...

The effect of the internal heat exchanger (IHE) on the performance of the transcritical carbon dioxide refrigeration cycle with an expander is analyzed theoretically on the basis of the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The possible parameters...

System identification, in practice, is carried out by perturbing processes or plants under operation. That is why in many industrial applications a plant-friendly input signal would be preferred for system identification. The goal of the study is to...

Fractional order derivative operators offer a concise description to model multi-scale, heterogeneous and non-local systems. Specifically, in magnetic resonance imaging, there has been recent work to apply fractional order derivatives to model the no...

A new quantum f-divergence for trace class operators in Hilbert Spaces is introduced. It is shown that for normalised convex functions it is nonnegative. Some upper bounds are provided. Applications for some classes of convex functions of interest ar...

In the last decades of the nineteenth century, different attitudes towards mechanics led to two main theoretical approaches to thermodynamics: an abstract and phenomenological approach, and a very different approach in terms of microscopic models. In...
