‎In this paper‎, ‎we study the numerical solution of Convection-Diffusion equation with a memory term subject to initial boundary value conditions‎. ‎Finite difference method in combination with product trapezoidal integration rule is used to discretize the equation in time and sinc collocation method is employed in space‎. ‎The accuracy and error analysis of the method are discussed‎. ‎Numeric...

In this paper we treat a general form of location model. It is typically assumed that the error term is distributed according to the law belonging to the class of elliptically contoured distribution. Some sorts of shrinkage estimators of location and scale parameters are proposed and their exact bias and MSE expressions are derived. The performance of the estimators under study are compl...

Evaluation of intermolecular distance and binding energy (BE) of van der Waals complex/cluster at ab initio level of theory is computationally demanding when many monomers are involved. Starting from MP2 energy, we reached a two-step evaluation method of BE of van der Waals complex/cluster through reasonable approximations; BE = BE(HF) + sum Mi> Mj{BE (Mi- Mj)(MP2 or MP2.5) - BE(Mi-Mj)(HF)} whe...

We investigated fMRI responses to visual search targets appearing at locations that were predicted by the search context. Based on previous work in visual category learning we expected an intrinsic reward prediction error signal in the putamen whenever the target appeared at a location that was predicted with some degree of uncertainty. Comparing target appearance at locations predicted with 50...
