A recent paper Ncube (2013) [11] considered the disease-free equilibrium in a mathematical model for intra-host dynamics of Plasmodium falciparum malaria with discrete immune time delay. The author showed that depending on system parameters, the disease-free steady state can be absolutely stable (i.e. asymptotically stable for arbitrary positive values of the time delay), or it can be asymptoti...

This paper studies the nonlinear vibration analysis of a simply supported Euler-Bernoulli beam resting on a nonlinear elastic foundation under compressive axial load using nonlinear normal modes concept in the case of three-to-one (3:1) internal resonance. The beam’s governing nonlinear PDE of motion and also its boundary conditions are derived and then solved using the method of Multiple Time ...

We show that when narrowband filtering and nonlinear gain are considered, long-distance propagation of stable pulses in a fiber-optic system can be realized in the presence of self-frequency shift. We analyze the system by using the perturbative approach and obtain steady-state solutions and their existence conditions. The steady-state solutions are studied by linear stability analysis. Typical...

We propose a thermodynamic formalism that is expected to apply to a large class of nonequilibrium steady states including a heat conducting fluid, a sheared fluid, and an electrically conducting fluid. We call our theory steady state thermodynamics (SST) after Oono and Paniconi’s original proposal. The construction of SST is based on a careful examination of how the basic notions in thermodynam...

This paper provides a briefdescription ofthe rationale behind steady-state modelling, and ofthe implementation ofthe ECOPATH II software system, a system for straightforward construction, parametrization, and balancing of steady-state trophic models of(aquatic) ecosystems. ECOPATH II is written for MS DOS computers and is available as a public domain software from the ICLARM Software Project. E...

A major upgrade of the Tore Supra heat and particle exhaust capability, known as the CIEL project [P. Garin et al.,this conference] and installed during the year 2000 shutdown, will raise the heat exhaust capability to 25 MW (convected + radiated) steady-state, and the pumping capability to -4 Fa.m3/s, and will allow Tore Supra to investigate high power steady-state plasma operation, with targe...

Modern cosmology began with the realization that there were solutions to Einstein’s theory of gravity discovered by Friedmann and Lemaitre which when combined with the redshift distance relation of Hubble and others could be interpreted as showing that we live in an expanding universe. It was then only elementary logic to argue that if time reversal was applied, the universe must originally hav...

In this chapter, we propose a general framework for deriving efficient (polynomial-time) algorithms for steady-state scheduling. In the context of large scale platforms (grids or volunteer computing platforms), we show that the characteristics of the resources (volatility, heterogeneity) limit their use to large regular applications. Therefore, steady-state scheduling, that consists in optimizi...

Steady state simulation is used to study long-run behavior. Usually only the expected value of the steady state probability distribution function is estimated. In many cases quantiles of this distribution are of higher interest. In this paper a new usage of quantile estimators is proposed, which is derived from mean value analysis and is based on multiple independent replications. The advantage...

The paper presents a new modeling framework enabling to evaluate the cyclic steady state of a given system of concurrently flowing cyclic processes (SCCP) on the base of the assumed topology of transportation routes, dispatching rules employed, resources and operation times as well as an initial processes allocation. The objective is to provide the rules useful in the course of routing and sche...
