The relationship between soil water content (SWC) and vegetation, topography, and climatic conditions is critical for developing effective agricultural water management practices and improving agricultural water use efficiency in arid areas. The purp...
This communication addresses a comparison of newly presented non-integer order derivatives with and without singular kernel, namely Michele Caputo–Mauro Fabrizio (CF) C F ( ∂ β / ∂ t β ) and Atangana–Baleanu (AB)...
The periodical transient impulses caused by localized faults are sensitive and important characteristic information for rotating machinery fault diagnosis. However, it is very difficult to accurately extract transient impulses at the incipient fault...
The Shannon entropy, and related quantities such as mutual information, can be used to quantify uncertainty and relevance. However, in practice, it can be difficult to compute these quantities for arbitrary probability distributions, particularly if...
The security of the Internet of Things (IoT) is receiving considerable interest as the low power constraints and complexity features of many IoT devices are limiting the use of conventional cryptographic techniques. This article provides an overview...
The well-known Jarzynski equality, often written in the form e − β Δ F = 〈 e − β W 〉 , provides a non-equilibrium means to measure the free energy difference Δ F of a system at the same inverse temperature β based on an...
We introduce a simple growth model in which the sizes of entities evolve as multiplicative random processes that start at different times. A novel aspect we examine is the dependence among entities. For this, we consider three classes of dependence b...
This paper presents a theoretical investigation of a combined Power and Cooling Cycle that employs an Ammonia-Water mixture. The cycle combines a Rankine and an absorption refrigeration cycle. The Goswami cycle can be used in a wide range of applicat...
In the present paper, a Quality Systems Theory is presented. Certifiable Quality Systems are treated and interpreted in accordance with a Thermodynamics-based approach. Analysis is also conducted on the relationship between Quality Management Systems...
In this paper, the emergence of hyperchaos in a network with two very simple discrete periodic oscillators is presented. Uncoupled periodic oscillators may represent, in the crudest and simplest form, periodic oscillators in nature, for example firef...
