The errors in plate motion azimuths inferred from shear wave splitting beneath any one tectonic plate are shown to be correlated with the errors of other azimuths from the same plate. To account for these correlations, we adopt a two-tier analysis: First, find the pole of rotation and confidence limits for each plate individually. Second, solve for the best fit to these poles while constraining...

The 4q effective Lagrangian and the gap equation are derived for light quarks in the confinement phase of QCD. The modification of the confining string due to finite quark density (chemical quark potential µ) is observed. As a surprising result in a multiquark system with a common string junction an attractive well appears of radius µ/σ and of an average depth equal to µ. Possible implications ...

Iodinated pores of a Zn-based coordination network were modified by Br2 oxidation to produce brominated pores in a polycrystalline-to-polycrystalline manner while maintaining the same network topology. Ab initio X-ray powder diffraction analysis and Raman spectroscopy revealed that the brominated pore can trap Br2 or I2 by strong σ/π-type interactions. A kinetic study in solution revealed that ...

Let S be a complete star-omega semiring and Σ be an alphabet. For a weighted ω-restricted one counter automaton C with stateset {1, . . . ,n}, n ≥ 1, we show that there exists a mixed algebraic system over a complete semiringsemimodule pair ((S ≪ Σ∗ ≫)n×n, (S ≪ Σω ≫)n) such that the behavior ‖C‖ of C is a component of a solution of this system. In case the basic semiring is B or N∞ we show that...

Let ( Ω , A μ ) and Γ B ν be two arbitrary measure spaces, p ∈ [ 1 ∞ ] . Set S L + : = { f ‖ ; ≥ 0 -a.e. } that is, the positive part of unit sphere We show every surjective isometry Φ → can extended (necessarily uniquely) to an isometric order isomorphism from onto Lamperti form, i.e., a weighted composition like is provided, when localizable (in particular, it σ -finite). On other hand, we fo...

This paper presents an adaptive differentiator of sequential data based on the adaptive control theory. The algorithm is applied to detect moving objects by estimating a temporal gradient of sequential data at a specified pixel. We adopt two nonlinear intensity functions to reduce the influence of noises. The derivatives of the nonlinear intensity functions are estimated by an adaptive observer...

In this Note, we consider traveling waves in a reaction-diffusion equation dimension one. Motivated by the motion of dislocations crystals, introduce an additive parameter σ reaction term, which may be interpreted as exterior force applied on crystal. Under certain natural assumptions and for every value σ∈[σ - ,σ + ], show existence ϕ velocity c. The range σ∈(σ ) corresponds to bistable cases ...

This paper presents a neuroadaptive full-state feedback controller design for the Boeing unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV), and a neuroadaptive output feedback controller design for a damped van der Pol oscillator model. The proposed neuroadaptive controllers employ a novel controller architecture involving additional terms in the update laws that are constructed using a moving window of th...

We prove exponential rates of convergence of hp-dG interior penalty (IP) methods for second-order elliptic problems with mixed boundary conditions in polyhedra which are based on axiparallel, σ-geometric anisotropic meshes of mapped hexahedra and anisotropic polynomial degree distributions of μ-bounded variation. Compared to homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions in [10, 11], for problems wi...
