An Orthogonal Framework for Improving Life Cycle Affordability

Many approaches to improving system affordability focus on one or two strategies (e,g., automation, outsourcing, repurposing, reuse, process maturity), and miss the opportunity for further improvements. Often, they focus on one phase (e.g., acquisition) at the expense of other factors that increase total ownership cost (TOC). Based on several related research projects, we have developed, applie...

Orthogonal metric space and convex contractions

‎In this paper, generalized convex contractions on orthogonal metric spaces are stablished in whath  might be called their  definitive versions. Also, we show that there are examples which show that our main theorems are  genuine generalizations of Theorem 3.1 and 3.2 of [M.A. Miandaragh, M. Postolache and S. Rezapour,  {it Approximate fixed points of generalized convex contractions}, Fixed Poi...

Orthogonal Polynomials with Orthogonal Derivatives

Weber's law orthogonal to the psychometric function

Psychometric function plots the percentage of the correct responses among an entire pool of responses (cumulative probability) in a psychophysical task versus the amount of change in an independent variable. These changes in the independent variable are made with reference to a constant initial value. If this initial value is altered, the psychometric function will change according to Weber’s l...
