We suggest to construct infinite stochastic binary sequences by associating one of the two symbols sequence with renewal times an underlying process. Focusing on stationary corresponding delayed processes, we investigate correlations and ability model implement a prescribed autocovariance structure, showing that large variety subexponential decay can be accounted for. In particular, robustness ...

Open-Pit Production Scheduling (OPPS) problem focuses on determining a block sequencing and scheduling to maximize Net Present Value (NPV) of the venture under constraints. The scheduling model is critically sensitive to the economic value volatility of block, block weight, and operational capacity. In order to deal with the OPPS uncertainties, various approaches can be recommended. Robust opti...

in this work, the pc-saft equation of state (eos) has been used to model the solubility of acid gases (co2 and h2s) in two imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ils) ([c8-mim][pf6] and [c8-mim][tf2n]). parameters of pure ils were estimated using experimental densities. two strategies were considered to model densities of pure ils. in strategy 1, ils were modeled as nonassociating compounds and in st...

The phenotypic observation of some reproduction traits (e.g., insemination success, interval from lambing to insemination) is the result of environmental and genetic factors acting on 2 individuals: the male and female involved in a mating couple. In animal genetics, the main approach (called additive model) proposed for studying such traits assumes that the phenotype is linked to a purely addi...

Results of the simulations of the dynamical stability of additional hypothetical planets in the γ Cephei binary-planetary system are presented. Using the reported orbital parameters of the existing bodies (Hatzes et al. 2003), simulations were carried out for different values of the mass, eccentricity, and inclination of an additional Jupiter-like plantet to test the stability of this object at...

a quanitative structure property relationship was proposed to calculate the binary interaction terms of the jouyban-acree model using solubility parameter, boiling point, vapour pressure and density of solvents. the applicability of the proposed method for reproducing solubility data of anthracene in binary solvents has been evaluated using 116 solubility data sets collected from the literature...

Recognizing and supporting human activities is an important challenge for ambient assisted living. In this paper we introduce a novel argumentation-based approach for dealing with human activity recognition. By considering a model of the world and a set of observations of the world, hypothetical fragments of activities are built. The hypothetical fragments of activities will be goal-oriented ac...
