A probabilistic methodology to quantify the impact of geometric variability on compressor aerodynamic performance is presented. High-fidelity probabilistic models of geometric variability are derived using a principal-component analysis of blade surface measurements. This probabilistic blade geometry model is then combined with a compressible, viscous blade-passage analysis to estimate the impa...

Existing software proposals for electronic payments can be divided into “on-line” schemes that require participation of a trusted party (the bank) in every transaction and are secure against overspending, and the “off-line” schemes that do not require a third party and guarantee only that overspending is detected when vendors submit their transaction records to the bank (usually at the end of t...

RFID applications usually rely on RFID deployments to manage high-level events such as tracking the location that products visit for supply-chain management, localizing intruders for alerting services, and so on. However, transforming low-level streams into high-level events poses a number of challenges. In this paper, we deal with the well known issues of data redundancy and data-information m...

We consider the problem of choosing a level of provision of public good on an interval of the real line among a group of agents. A probabilistic rule chooses a probability distribution over the interval to each preference profile. We investigate strategy-proof probabilistic rules in the case where distributions are compared based on stochastic dominance relation. First, on a “minimally rich dom...

Double-barrier GaAs/AlAs resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs) have become the promising elements for development of sub-mm and THz emitters. We report on fabrication RTD samples that were characterized via RF-reflectometry to determine parameters its equivalent circuit. By using numerical simulation we show coplanar transmission line with under study provides an amplification up 8 GHz. Keywords: Re...

DESIGN Cost-effectiveness analysis using a decision tree model to compare programme to non-programme intensive care units. SETTING USA. POPULATION Adult patients in the intensive care unit. COSTS Economic c...

In this study, in the assembly line systems consisting of operations interaction with each other; To reduce number faulty products, to prevent poor quality and production time, Error Ratio Estimation Artificial Neural Networks probabilistic Line Balancing method have been performed. The error rate estimation provides information on which jeans models should be applied improvement work eliminate...

Face expression recognition is useful for designing new interactive devices offering the possibility of new ways for human to interact with computer systems. In this paper we develop a facial expressions analysis and synthesis system. The analysis part of the system is based on the facial features extracted from facial feature points (FFP) in frontal image sequences. Selected facial feature poi...

We characterize the complete monotonicity of Kilbas-Saigo function on negative half-line. also provide exact asymptotics at −∞, and uniform hyperbolic bounds are derived. The same questions addressed for classical Le Roy function. main ingredient proof is a probabilistic representation these functions in terms stable subordinator.
