In this paper, numerical spline-based differential quadrature is presented for solving the boundary and initial value problems, and its application is used to solve the fixed rectangular membrane vibration equation. For the time integration of the problem, the Runge–Kutta and spline-based differential quadrature methods have been applied. The Runge–Kutta method was unstable for solving the prob...

An algorithm of Beyer and Hedetniemi for generating unlabeled rooted trees is extended to generate unlabeled free trees. Abstract An algorithm of Beyer and Hedetniemi for generating unlabeled rooted trees is extended to generate unlabeled free trees. “The Beyer-Hedetniemi technique is refined to produce only one member of each equivalence class of rooted trees under isomorphism of the underlyin...

This paper provides insight into when, why, and how forecast strategies fail when they are applied to complicated time series. We conjecture that the inherent complexity of real-world time-series data, which results from the dimension, nonlinearity, and nonstationarity of the generating process, as well as from measurement issues such as noise, aggregation, and finite data length, is both empir...

Contingency screening for transient stability of large scale, strongly nonlinear, interconnected power systems is one of the most computationally challenging parts of Dynamic Security Assessment and requires huge resources to perform time-domain simulations-based assessment. To reduce computational cost of time-domain simulations, direct energy methods have been extensively developed. However, ...

background: dna isolation procedure can significantly influence the quantification of dna by real time pcr specially when cell free dna (cfdna) is the subject. to assess the extraction efficiency, linearity of the extraction yield, presence of co-purified inhibitors and to avoid problems with fragment size relevant to cfdna, development of appropriate external dna control (edc) is challenging. ...

Stochastic lexicalized context-free grammar (SLCFG) is an attractive compromise between the parsing e ciency of stochastic context-free grammar (SCFG) and the lexical sensitivity of stochastic lexicalized tree-adjoining grammar (SLTAG). SLCFG is a restricted form of SLTAG that can only generate contextfree languages and can be parsed in cubic time. However, SLCFG retains the lexical sensitivity...

Conventional wisdom dictates that synchronous context-free grammars (SCFGs) must be converted to Chomsky Normal Form (CNF) to ensure cubic time decoding. For arbitrary SCFGs, this is typically accomplished via the synchronous binarization technique of (Zhang et al., 2006). A drawback to this approach is that it inflates the constant factors associated with decoding, and thus the practical runni...
