in this paper, a numerical solution of an inverse non-dimensional heat conduction problem by spline method will be considered. the given heat conduction equation, the boundary condition, and the initial condition are presented in a dimensionless form. a set of temperature measurements at a single sensor location inside the heat conduction body is required. the result show that the proposed meth...

we introduce and discuss the homotopy perturbation method, the adomian decomposition method and the variational iteration method for solving the stefan problem with kinetics. then, we give an example of the stefan problem with  kinetics and solve it by these methods.

in this paper, a boussinesq equation is solved by using the adomian's decomposition method, modified adomian's decomposition method and homotopy analysis method. the approximate solution of this equation is calculated in the form of series which its components are computed by applying a recursive relation. the existence and uniqueness of the solution and the convergence of the propose...

in a strapdown magnetic compass, heading angle is estimated using the earth's magnetic field measured by three-axis magnetometers (tam). however, due to several inevitable errors in the magnetic system, such as sensitivity errors, non-orthogonal and misalignment errors, hard iron and soft iron errors, measurement noises and local magnetic fields, there are large error between the magnetometers'...

in this research three-dimensional free vibration analysis of functionally graded circular plate with various boundary conditions is achieved. a semi-analytical method, which makes use of the state space method and the one-dimensional differential quadrature method, is used to obtain the vibration frequencies and dynamic responses of circular plates. numerical results are given to demonstrate t...

Multivoxel pattern analysis (MVPA) is a sensitive and increasingly popular method for examining differences between neural activation patterns that cannot be detected using classical mass-univariate analysis. Recently, Todd et al. ("Confounds in multivariate pattern analysis: Theory and rule representation case study", 2013, NeuroImage 77: 157-165) highlighted a potential problem for these meth...
