An optimal semi-active Cuckoo- Fuzzy algorithm is developed to drive the hydraulic semi-active damper for effective control of the dynamic deformation of building structures under earthquake loadings, in this paper. Hydraulic semi-active dampers (MR dampers) are semi active control devices that are managed by sending external voltage supply. A new adaptive fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is introd...

Oysters from the Pacific Northwest coast of British Columbia, Canada, contain high levels of cadmium, in some cases exceeding some international food safety guidelines. A primary goal of this article is the investigation of the spatial and temporal variation in cadmium concentrations for oysters sampled from coastal British Columbia. Such information is important so that recommendations can be ...

Abstract We prove absolute continuity of the law solution, evaluated at fixed points in time and space, to a parabolic dissipative stochastic PDE on L 2 ( G ), where is an open bounded domain $\mathbb {R}^{d}$ ℝ d with smooth boundary. The equatio...

Let k be a positive integer. The limiting distribution of the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator of a k−monotone density is given in terms of a smooth stochastic process Hk described as follows: (i) Hk is everywhere above (or below) Yk, the k− 1 fold integral of two-sided standard Brownian motion plus (k!/(2k)!)t2k when k is even (or odd). (ii) H(2k−2) k is convex. (iii) Hk touches Yk a...

Consider the population model with infinite size associated to subcritical continuous-state branching processes (CSBP). We study flow of ancestral lineages as time goes past and show that, properly renormalized, it converges almost surely inverse a drift-free subordinator whose Laplace exponent is explicit in terms mechanism. The shown be partitioning current into families distinct common ances...

Various self-consistent semiconductor device equations, such as drift diffusion, hydrodynamic and Boltzmann transport equations require solution of a multi-dimensional Poisson’s equation that describes the potential distribution in the device for a specified doping profile. In this paper, a three-dimensional semiconductor nonlinear Poisson’s equation is solved numerically with finite volume and...
