Ranked voting data arise when voters select and rank more than one candidate with an order of preference. Cook et al.[1] introduced data envelopment analysis (DEA) to analyze ranked voting data. Obata et al.[2] proposed a new method that did not use...

Artificial city generation on computer graphics platforms introduce several problems from the point of view of the application programmer. Especially in the cases where the product is aimed for virtual reality applications, this becomes more importan...

In this Letter, the (G'/G) -expansion method is proposed to seek exact solutions of nonlinear evolution equations. For illustrative examples, we choose the compound KdV-Burgers equation, the compound KdV equation, the KdV-Burgers equation, the mKdV e...

This article presents a new approach for obtaining the change point in the hazard function. The proposed approach is developed with the Bayesian estimator. Using a simulation study, mean value and mean square error (MSE) of proposed estimator are obt...

This paper examines the estimation comparison of two methods for Weibull parameters, one is the maximum likelihood method and the other is the least squares method. A numerical simulation study is carried out to understand performance of the two meth...

In this study, we determined the most appropriate Hamiltonian that is needed for present calculations of nuclei in the A 130 region by interacting boson model. The second version of interacting boson model (IBM-2) has been widely used for describing...

In recent years, many scientists have focus on the studies of the Allee effect in population dynamics. This paper presents the stability analysis of equilibrium points of population dynamics with Allee effect which occurs at low population density.

We consider linearizing transformations of the one-dimensional nonlinear stochastic differential equations driven by Wiener and compound Poisson processes, namely finite activity Levy processes. We present linearizability criteria and derive the requ...

In this work, flow analysis and drag forces of spikes of crops are investigated. A control volume is constructed to calculate drag forces and coefficients of spikes of wheats (Triticum durum, Triticum aestivum) for various velocities. In addition, dr...
