Expansive soils exhibit significantly high volumetric deformations and so pose a serious threat to stability of the structures and foundations. Thus, determination of their swelling properties (i.e. swelling potential and swell pressure) becomes esse...

This paper gives the continuous dependence of solutions for the damped nonlinear hyperbolic equation.

In this paper, a Burger’s-Fisher equation is solved by using the Adomian’s decomposition method (ADM) , modified Adomian’s decomposition method (MADM), variational iteration method (VIM), modified variational iteration method (MVIM), modified homotop...

This paper addresses the application of six different optimal sensor placement (OSP) techniques in buildings. These techniques are the EFfective Independence (EFI), Optimal Driving Point (ODP), Non-Optimal Driving Point (NODP), Effective Independence...

In this work, the energy levels and transition probabilities B(E2) of some even-even Te (Z=52, N=68-80 and N=84) and even-even Xe nuclei (Z=54, N=68-80 and N=84-88) have been investigated by using the interacting boson model (IBM-1 and IBM-2). The re...

Numerical solutions of the generalized Burgers-Fisher equation are presented based on a polynomial-based differential quadrature method with minimal computational effort. To achieve this, a combination of a polynomial-based differential quadrature me...

The facility location selection, which is one of the important activities in strategic planning for a wide range of private and public companies, is a multi-criteria decision making problem including both quantitative and qualitative criteria. Tradit...

A matrix method for approximately solving linear Fredholm integral equations of the second kind is presented. The solution involves a truncated Hermite series approximation. The method is based on first taking the truncated Hermite series expansions...

Boundary conditions in an unbounded domain, i.e. boundary condition at infinity, pose a problem in general for the numerical solution methods. The aim of this study is to overcome this difficulty by using Padé approximation with the differential tran...

Data sets collected from industrial processes may have both a particular type of trend and correlation among adjacent observations (autocorrelation). In the present paper, an integrated neural network structure is used to recognize trend stationary f...
