Abstract Addition formulas exist in trigonometric functions. Double-angle
and half-angle formulas can be derived from these formulas. Moreover, the
relation equation between the trigonometric function and the hyperbolic function
can be derived using an imaginary number. The inverse hyperbolic function
is similar to the inverse trigonometric function
, such as the second degree of a polynomial and the constant term 1, except for the sign − and +. Such an analogy holds not only when the
degree of the polynomial is 2, but also for higher degrees. As such, a function
exists with respect… More >

Abstract In this paper, we consider solving numerically for the first time inverse problems
of determining the time-dependent thermal diffusivity coefficient for a weakly degenerate
heat equation, which vanishes at the initial moment of time, and/or the convection
coefficient along with the temperature for a one-dimensional parabolic equation, from
some additional information about the process (the so-called over-determination
conditions). Although uniquely solvable these inverse problems are still ill-posed since
small changes in the input data can result in enormous changes in the output solution.
The finite difference method with the Crank-Nicolson scheme combined with the
nonlinear Tikhonov regularization are employed. The… More >

Abstract The new regenerative cooling thermal protection system exhibits the
multifunctional characteristics of load-carrying and heat exchange cooling, which
are fundamental for the lightweight design and thermal protection of hypersonic
vehicles. Triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) is especially suitable for the
structural design of the internal cavity of regenerative cooling structures owing
to its excellent structural characteristics. In this study, test pieces were manufactured using Ti6Al4V lightweight material. We designed three types of porous test
pieces, and the interior was filled with a TPMS lattice (Gyroid, Primitive, I-WP)
with a porosity of 30%. All porous test pieces were manufactured via selective… More >

Abstract A finite volume method based unstructured grid is presented to solve
the two dimensional viscous and incompressible flow. The method is based on
the pressure-correction concept and solved by using a semi-staggered grid technique. The computational procedure can handle cells of arbitrary shapes, although
solutions presented in this paper were only involved with triangular and quadrilateral cells. The pressure or pressure-correction value was stored on the vertex
of cells. The mass conservation equation was discretized on the dual cells surrounding the vertex of primary cells, while the velocity components and other
scale variables were saved on the central of primary… More >

Abstract With the growing number of Web services on the internet, there is a challenge to
select the best Web service which can offer more quality-of-service (QoS) values at the
lowest price. Another challenge is the uncertainty of QoS values over time due to the
unpredictable nature of the internet. In this paper, we modify the interval data envelopment
analysis (DEA) models [Wang, Greatbanks and Yang (2005)] for QoS-aware Web service
selection considering the uncertainty of QoS attributes in the presence of desirable and
undesirable factors. We conduct a set of experiments using a synthesized dataset to show the

Abstract Terminal sliding mode controller method is introduced to enhance the
regulation performance of the hydraulic turbine governing system (HTGS). For
the purpose of describing the characteristics of controlled system and deducing

established, and the input/output state linearization feedback approach is used
to obtain the relationship between turbine speed and controller output. To address

springs on the brackets in the utility tunnel. Using the discrete soil spring element to
simulate the soil-structure interaction, actual earthquake records were adopted as excitation

Abstract Large cooling towers in thermal power plants and nuclear power plants are likely
to suffer from strong earthquakes during service periods. The resulting destructions of the
cooling towers would endanger the power plants and threaten the security of the related
areas. It is important to use effective means to evaluate the safety status of the cooling
towers and guide further precautions as well as retrofitting efforts. This paper is therefore
focused on an elaborate numerical investigation to the earthquake-induced collapses of a
large cooling tower structure. A complete numerical work for simulation of material

disease-free equilibrium whenever R0 < 1 and further we establish the results
for the endemic equilibria and prove that the model is globally asymptotically

Abstract In this paper, we approximate the solution and also discuss the periodic behavior
termed as eventual periodicity of solutions of (IBVPs) for some dispersive wave equations
on a bounded domain corresponding to periodic forcing. The constructed numerical
scheme is based on radial kernels and local in nature like finite difference method. The temporal variable is executed through RK4 scheme. Due to the local nature and sparse differentiation matrices our numerical scheme efficiently recovers the solution. The results
achieved are validated and examined with other methods accessible in the literature. More >

Abstract Currently, functional connectomes constructed from neuroimaging data have
emerged as a powerful tool in identifying brain disorders. If one brain disease just manifests as some cognitive dysfunction, it means that the disease may affect some local connectivity in the brain functional network. That is, there are functional abnormalities in the

To solve these problems, we proposed a sub-network extraction method based on graph
