For 0 < α ≤ 2 and 0 < β ≤ 1 the (d,α,β)-superprocess is the superprocess with symmetric α-stable spatial movement in Rd and spectrally positive (1+β)-stable branching. It is a measurevalued process arising as the high density limit of empirical measure for the following critical branching symmetric α-stable particle system. Independent of the others, each particle is assigned a mass n−1 and it ...

Tracking an object's 3D position and orientation from a color image can been accomplished with particle filters if its color and shape properties are known. Unfortunately, initialization in particle filters is often manual or random, thus rendering the tracking recovery process slow or no longer autonomous. A method that uses image data to generate likely pose hypotheses for known objects is pr...

In this paper an improved Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) scheme is proposed to solve Static Routing and Wavelength Assignment (static RWA) where the movement of the swarm particles is influenced by their personal-best position searched so far and the position of the global-best particle. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme performs better in terms of particle fitness value and a...

A new approach to the measurement of three-dimensional movement of particles is introduced. A single TV camera with an apparatus to rotate the image enables us to record the three-dimensional movement of particles as spiral streaks on a single image. Every shape of the spiral streak on the image plane is related to the position and the velocity of the individual particle. The information about ...

This paper strives to overcome the issues of achieving a VSO word order in negated sentences Standard Arabic. A possible solution would be split Negative projection into two, where higher head hosts negative particle, and lower has ability attract host verb, which falls within scope particle. Splitting proved sufficient maintain integrity validity other theories available Minimalist Program. Mo...

The sensitivity analysis of atomic force microscope (AFM) based manipulation of gold spherical nanoparticles in air medium has been carried out in previous research works. In the AFM-based manipulations conducted in various biological liquid mediums, the new environmental parameters associated with these biological fluids also affect the dynamics of the manipulation process. Therefore in this r...

One of the main concerns of researchers is the separation of suspended particles in a fluid. Accordingly, the current study numerically investigated the effects of a conical section on the flow pattern of a Stairmand cyclone by simulating single-cone and dual-cone cyclones. A turbulence model was used to analyze incompressible gas-particle flow in the cyclone models, and the Eulerian–Lagrangian...

An intensive particle monitoring study was conducted in homes in the Boston, Massachusetts, area during the winter and summer of 1996 in an effort to characterize sources of indoor particles. As part of this study, continuous particle size and mass concentration data were collected in four single-family homes, with each home monitored for one or two 6-day periods. Additionally, housing activity...
