In this paper, an economic order quantity (EOQ) inventory model for a deteriorating item is developed with the following characteristics: (i) The demand rate is deterministic and two-staged, i.e., it is constant in first part of the cycle and linear function of time in the second part. (ii) Deterioration rate is time-proportional. (iii) Shortages are not allowed to occur. The o...

A thin slit-lamp beam illuminating the pupil margin produces clearly visible pupil oscillations. These oscillations can be timed with a stopwatch, thus producing a measurement of the "edge-light" pupil cycle time'. The pupil cycle time is remarkably stable in various testing situations and is repeatable within about +/- 3% over extended periods of time. Expected normal distribution and 95% con...

We argue that a paradigm shift is needed in the analysis of phage DNA packaging. We then test a prediction of the following paradigm shift-engendering hypothesis. The motor of phage DNA packaging has two cycles: (1) the well-known packaging ATPase-driven (type 1) cycle and (2) a proposed back-up, shell expansion/contraction-driven (type 2) cycle that reverses type 1 cycle stalls by expelling ac...

In this work, an aeroelastic prediction framework is formulated by blending control-oriented techniques that consist of linear fractional transformation representation, identification of nonlinear operators, and stability boundary prediction for both flutter and limit-cycle-oscillation phenomena. The final product is an efficient tool devised to identify, characterize, and predict flutter/limit...

Dear editor, This letter presents battery full life cycle management and health prognosis based on cloud service broad learning. Specifically, a cloud-based framework for is presented. Then, the learning method proposed state-of-health (SOH) prediction. The features of charging data including constant current time, voltage total time are selected as input characteristics network to estimate SOH...

When the degree of saturation at intersection approaches one, Webster’s optimum cycle length equation becomes inapplicable, because the cycle length will becomes very big when the degree of saturation approaches one and will be fully unrealistic when the degree of saturation becomes greater than one. This is not a problem for HCM2000 method. But optimum cycle length calculation in this method h...

This paper proposes an enhanced method of multiple branch prediction using a per-primary branch history table. This scheme improves the previous ones based on a single global branch history register, by reducing interferences among histories of diierent branches caused by sharing a single register. This scheme also allows the prediction of a branch not to aaect the prediction of other branches ...
