A myriad of applications from different domains collects time series data for further analysis. In many of them, such as seismic datasets, the observed data is also associated to a space dimension, which corresponds, in fact, to spatial-time series. The analysis of these datasets is difficult due to both the continuous nature of the observed data and the relationship between spatial and time di...

This paper gives an algebraic framework for designing analog lters that are jointly optimized for magnitude, phase, and step responses, and lter quality. We formulate the design problem as a sequential quadratic programming (SQP) problem and use symbolic mathematical software to translate the SQP formulation into workingMATLAB programs to optimize analog lters.

Sequential optimality conditions provide adequate theoretical tools to justify stopping criteria for nonlinear programming solvers. Here, nonsmooth approximate gradient projection and complementary approximate Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions are presented. These sequential optimality conditions are satisfied by local minimizers of optimization problems independently of the fulfillment of constrai...

the study aimed to come up with a list of specific macroalgae species, which could be used to biomonitor specific metal elements in the coastal waters of east africa. water extraction, edta, aqua regia extraction and optimized bcr 3-step sequential extracts were used to mimic bioavailable metals under various environmental conditions. the results indicated that ulva lactuca could be used as a ...

one of the main disadvantages of anaerobic wastewater treatment at a low ph is the significantoperational cost due to the addition of necessary alkali. to reduce alkali supplement and thus the cost, thisstudy proposes a sequential multi-feed (sqmf) mode (distributed feeding) and effluent recycle (er) mode.experiments were conducted with a pilot-scale (2.5 m3) thermophilic (55°c) multi-staged up...

reliable characterization of subsurface soil in urban areas is a major concern in geotechnical and geological engineering projects. in this regard, this research deals with development of a 3d geological engineering model on mashhad city soil using sequential gaussian simulation (sgs) approach. the intense variability of soil in the study area has sometimes caused serious problems in civil engi...

a sequential process strategy was introduced for the synthesis of 2,3,4,5-tetrasubstituted pyrroles by the formation of benzoin from the corresponding aromatic aldehyde and followed by condensation reaction with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and ammonium acetate in the presence of diethylene glycol-bis(3-methylimidazolium) dihydroxide as catalyst in refluxing ethanol. the recycled catalyst could be ...

abstract in order to assess the availability of phosphorous (p), different methods have been proposed in the last decades. the results of these methods in soils with various ph, calcium carbonate, organic matter, al and fe oxides and hydroxides and other properties especially in iranian soils can not be used. in addition, knowledge about transformation of p forms is necessary for perception of ...
