The study derives a framework for assessing airport efficiency through evaluating optimal arrival and departure delay thresholds. Assumptions of airport efficiency measurements, though based upon minimum numeric values such as 15 min of turnaround time, cannot be extrapolated to determine proportions of delay-days of an airport. This study explored the concept of delay threshold to determine th...

A novel and eective method based on Haar wavelets and Block Pulse Functions(BPFs) is proposed to solve nonlinear Fredholm integro-dierential equations of fractional order.The operational matrix of Haar wavelets via BPFs is derived and together with Haar waveletoperational matrix of fractional integration are used to transform the mentioned equation to asystem of algebraic equations. Our new met...

Mainstream queueing models are frequently employed in modeling healthcare delivery in a number of settings, and further are used in making operational decisions for the same. The vast majority of these queueing models ignore the effects of delay experienced by a patient awaiting care. However, long delays may have adverse effects on patient outcomes and can potentially lead to longer lengths of...

Using the operational matrix of an orthogonal function to perform integration for solving, identifying and optimizing a linear dynamic system has several advantages: (1) the method is computer oriented, thus solving higher order differential equation becomes a matter of dimension increasing; (2) the solution is a multiresolution type; (3) the answer is convergent, even the size of increment is ...

The delay Lyapunov equation is an important matrix boundary-value problem which arises as an analogue of the Lyapunov equation in the study of time-delay systems ẋ(t) = A0x(t) +A1x(t− τ) +B0u(t). We propose a new algorithm for the solution of the delay Lyapunov equation. Our method is based on the fact that the delay Lyapunov equation can be expressed as a linear system of equations, whose unkn...

introduction: pulmonary tuberculosis is major problem worldwide and it is estimated one third the world population are already infected and each year 9 million people develop full blown tuberculosis of these 3 million die of the disease, annually. delay in diagnosis and treatment are major problems that play a significant role in all aspect of the disease from patient treatment to transmission ...

The speed of digital circuit is one of the most restricting factors in the deep sub-micron and multigigahertz integrated circuits design. It is directly dependent on the circuit delay. Scaling down the technologies and increasing the operational frequency make the delay problems more important. This paper studies the delay in digital circuits, starting from the design process, scaling down the ...
