We analyze the consistency, stability, and convergence of an hp discontinuous Galerkin spectral element method. The analysis is carried out simultaneously for acoustic, elastic, coupled elastic–acoustic, and electromagnetic wave propagation. Our analytical results are developed for both conforming and non-conforming approximations on hexahedral meshes using either exact integration with Legendr...

BACKGROUND Weighing breastfed babies has been the subject of some controversy as the previous international growth chart was largely based on data from infants fed infant formula. The concern that professionals may be misled by the charts into suggesting to mothers that they supplement unnecessarily was a major impetus for the World Health Organization's investment in a new growth chart. Eviden...

Key Ideas of our Solution • From statistics: control charts for change detection. • From computational linguistics: Analyze word cooccurrences for more meaningful results. • From mathematics: Exponentially weighted moving averages for streaming operation. • From databases: Hashing and Count-Min sketches for scalability to large data. • From data mining: Clustering of word pairs into simple “top...

Methods We performed a retrospective medical charts review in all JIA patients who received LFN between Jan 2006 to Mar 2011 from our outpatient Pediatric Rheumatology Clinics. We collected data of: gender, age, type of JIA, date of onset, date of diagnosis, date of first DMARD, uveitis, reason to indiciate LFN, concomitant therapies, reason to discontinuation, joint activity (tender and swolle...

A profile is a relationship between a response variable and one or more independent variables being controlled during the time. Process Capability Indices (PCI) are measured to evaluate the performance of processes in producing conforming products. Despite frequent applications of profile and a variety of available methods to monitor its different types, little researches have been carried out ...

A control chart is one of the tools Statistical Process Control (SPC) used to monitor a production process. The charts ability detect data that crosses border often done using variable transformation. In this paper, we will introduce cumulative sum (CUSUM) based on Link Relative transformation technique regression approach. results showed with was more sensitive compared previous CUSUM and char...

The cumulative light curves of Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) smooth the spiky nature of the running light curve. The cumulative count increases in an approximately linear way with time t for most bursts. In 19 out of 398 GRBs with T90 > 2 s, the cumulative light curve was found to increase with time as ∼ t 2 implying a linear increase in the running light curve. The non-linear sections last for a sub...

This paper develops a deterministic and a stochastic population size model based on power-law kinetics for the black-margined pecan aphid. The deterministic model in current use incorporates cumulative-size dependency, but its solution is symmetric. The analogous stochastic model incorporates the prolific reproductive capacity of the aphid. These models are generalized in this paper to include ...
