Title of dissertation: LINEAR STABILITY ANALYSIS USING LYAPUNOV INVERSE ITERATION Minghao Wu, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Dissertation directed by: Professor Howard Elman Department of Computer Science Institute for Advanced Computer Studies In this dissertation, we develop robust and efficient methods for linear stability analysis of large-scale dynamical systems, with emphasis on the incompres...

In this paper, the connection between Menger probabilistic norms and H"{o}hle probabilistic norms is discussed. In addition, the correspondence between probabilistic norms and Wu-Fang fuzzy (semi-) norms is established. It is shown that a probabilistic norm (with triangular norm $min$) can generate a Wu-Fang fuzzy semi-norm and conversely, a Wu-Fang fuzzy norm can generate a probabilistic norm.

The Metaphire formosae species group is a member of the Pheretima complex of the family Megascolecidae. It is composed of 12 nominal taxa, Metaphire bununa Tsai et al., 2000, Metaphire feijani Chang & Chen, 2004, Metaphire formosae (Michaelsen, 1922), Metaphire glareosa Tsai et al., 2000, Metaphire nanaoensis Chang & Chen, 2005, Metaphire paiwanna paiwanna Tsai et al., 2000, Metaphire paiwanna ...

Objective: To determine the impact of dental prosthetic condition on food consumption, risk of malnutrition and follow-up 4-year mortality risk in elderly Taiwanese. Design and setting: Analyzing the data sets of the 1999 and 2003 “Survey of Health and Living Status of the Elderly in Taiwan”, a longitudinal cohort study. Participants: A national probability sample of 2766 men and women 65 years...

BSERVATIONS on X-irradiation induced X-Y nondisjunction and exchange in spermatocytes of Drosophila have been made by STRANGIO (1961, 1962) and by ZIMMERING and Wu ( 1963,1964), both using the doubly marked Y chromosome, BS Y y+ (BROSSEAU, NICOLETTI, GRELL, and LINDSLEY 1961), and by SAVHAGEN (1961) who employed the singly marked Y chromosome, y+ Y (= scs. Y of MULLER 1948). The criterion for n...

Recent studies have shown that there exists a family of protein kinases structurally and functionally related to the yeast cell cycle regulatory kinase cdc2 [Meyerson, M., Faha, B., Su, L.-K., Harlow, E. & Tsai, L.-H. (1991) Cold Spring Harbor Symp. Quant. Biol. 56, 177-186 and Meyerson, M., Enders, G. H., Wu, C.-L., Su, L.-K., Gorka, C., Nelson, C., Harlow, E. & Tsai, L.-H. (1992) EMBO J. 11, ...

Seepage force induced by ocean waves has been related to the liquefaction around submarine structure, and it shown cause significant sediment transport rapid burial of pipelines objects (Tsai et al., 2022). This study assesses impact momentary soil due pore pressure gradient near seabed generated in range oceanic coastal environment. The nonlinear wave solution stream function numerical approxi...
