Using recently proposed non-linearly realized supersymmetry in non-Abelian gauge theory corrected to O(α′), we derive the non-linear BPS equations in the background B-field for the U(2) monopoles and instantons. We show that these non-Abelian non-linear BPS equations coincide with the non-commutative anti-self-dual equations via the Seiberg-Witten map.

Spectrally modulated Airy-based pulses peak amplitude modulation (PAM) in linear dispersive media is investigated, designed, and numerically simulated. As it is shown here, it is possible to design the spectral modulation of the initial Airy-based pulses to obtain a pre-defined PAM profile as the pulse propagates. Although optical pulses self-amplitude modulation is a well-known effect under no...

This paper presents a novel method to solve non-linear time-cost tradeoff (TCT) problem of real world engineering projects. Multiobjective genetic algorithm (MOGA) is employed to search for optimal TCT profile. Applicability of ANN based model for rapid estimation of time-cost relationship by invoking its function approximation capability is investigated. ANN models are then integrated with MOG...

The subject of analysis is a non-linear three-compartment model, widely used in pharmacological absorption studies. It has been transformed into a general form, thus leading automatically to an appropriate approximation. This made the absorption profile accessible and expressions for absorption times, apparent permeabilities and equilibrium values were given. These findings allowed a profound a...

Non-linear storytelling has been an effective means of knowledge sharing and learning in organizations and societies for a long time. With the advent of the Web 2.0 user generated content like digital videos in YouTube and digital images in Flickr.com have become particularly interesting. The idea for PESE (Personalized Storytelling Environment) is to combine classic multimedia production envir...

We develop a predictive theory applicable to the scrape-off layer (SOL) of inner-wall limited plasmas. Using the non-linear flattening of the pressure profile as a saturation mechanism for resistive ballooning modes, we are able to demonstrate and quantify the increase of the SOL width with plasma size, connection length, plasma β, and collisionality. Individual aspects of the theory, such as s...

The purpose of this work is to compare the linear and non-linear kriging methods in the mineral resource estimation of the Qolqoleh gold deposit in Saqqez, NW Iran. Considering the fact that the gold distribution is positively skewed and has a significant difference with a normal curve, a geostatistical estimation is complicated in these cases. Linear kriging, as a resource estimation method, c...

The aim of these analyses was to develop and describe easily implementable, yet information rich, approaches for analysis of the temporal profile of cortisol in human populations. A typical waking profile of cortisol in a sample of women aged 15-44 was parameterized by a piecewise linear regression model, implemented as a mixed model to accommodate repeated observations among individuals. The m...
