The pulsed laser deposition process is a complex one, encompassing a wide range of physical phenomena that act at different time scales, ranging from laser absorption to melting, plasma formation, and thin film deposition. In the past 15 years, there...

With the introduction and application of new information technology in manufacturing, various advanced manufacturing models and national strategies have received more and more attention. The goal of cloud manufacturing is to closely link the resource...

A novel computational method to evaluate the Sommerfeld integral (SI) efficiently and accurately is presented. The method rewrites the SI into two parts, applying discrete complex image method (DCIM) to evaluate the infinite integral while using doub...

This paper describes the extended method of solving real polynomial zeros problems using the single-step method, namely, the interval trio midpoint symmetric single-step (ITMSS) method, which updates the midpoint at each forward-backward-forward step...

We give a definition of Green’s function of the general boundary value problems for non-self-adjoint second order differential equation with involution. The sufficient conditions for the basis property of system of eigenfunctions are established in t...

The scientific community has presented various citation classification models to refute the concept of pure quantitative citation analysis systems wherein all citations are treated equally. However, a small number of benchmark datasets exist, which m...

We are interested here in the central organ of our thoughts: the brain. Advances in neuroscience have made it possible to obtain increasing information on the anatomy of this organ, at ever-higher resolutions, with different imaging techniques, on ev...

Expert systems, a form of artificial intelligence (AI), are typically designed to solve many real-world problems by reasoning through knowledge, which is primarily represented as IF–THEN rules, with the information acquired from humans or domain expe...

We review earlier and recent results on the Markov moment problem and related polynomial approximation on unbounded subsets. Such results allow proving the existence and uniqueness of the solutions for some Markov moment problems. This is the first a...

Navarro et al. (2010) proposed the increasing dynamic cumulative past entropy (IDCPE) class of life distributions. In this paper, we investigate some characterizations of this class. Closure and reversed closure properties of the IDCPE class are obta...
