The problem of determining exact expressions for the effective stiffness tensor macroscopically anisotropic, two-phase composite media of arbitrary microstructure in arbitrary space dimension d is considered. We depart from previous treatments by introducing an integral equation for the “cavity” strain field. This leads to new, exact series expansions for the effective stiffness tensor of macro...

The fast implementation of elliptic curve cryptosystems relies on the efficient computation of scalar multiplication. Based on the double-base chain representation of scalar using powers of 2 and 3, we propose a new representation with powers of 1⁄2 and 3 instead. Thus the efficient point halving operation can be incorporated in the new double-base chain to achieve fast scalar multiplication. E...

This research proposal presents a novel study that aims to contribute to the understanding of factors that impact on the performance of Australian university business school websites. The proposed study addresses the current limitations of website performance measurement and incorporates a multilevel perspective that accounts for user and organisational perspectives on website performance. This...

We introduce a robust method for computing viscous and viscoelastic two-phase bubble and drop motions. Our method utilizes a coupled level-set and volume-of-fluid technique for updating and representing the air-water interface. Our method introduces a novel approach for treating the viscous coupling terms at the air-water interface; these improvements result in improved stability for computing ...

This paper describes two hybrid control laws for Hilare-type mobile robots, together with experimental veriication of their performance. The rst control is mathematically motivated. The second control is motivated by the geometry of the problem. While both controls are shown to regulate the robot to a speciied position and orientation, their performance is diier-ent. To evaluate the performance...

The spatial averaging theorem is applied to rigorously derive continuum-scale equations of radiative transfer in two-phase media consisting of either two semi-transparent or one semitransparent and one opaque homogeneous phases in the limit of geometric optics. The derivations are based on the equations of radiative transfer and the corresponding boundary conditions applied at the discrete-scal...

Two kinds of wavelet features are proposed: (a) Kirsch edge enhancement based 2D wavelets and (b) 2D complex wavelets. The two sets of hybrid features are congregated by combining them with the geometrical features for the recognition of handwritten numerals. Experiments conducted on handwritten numeral recognition and verification show that the two hybrid feature sets can achieve high recognit...

In this paper, we prove common fixed point theorems for two hybrid pairs of multivalued and single valued mappings on noncomplete metric spaces using the property (E.A). We improve the results of Damjanović et al [1] and several other authors.

In this chapter we shall introduce a new and practical method for two-phase flow rate measurement, which is known as flow division and separation method. As its name suggested, a two-phase flow is measured by diverting a small fraction of the total stream to a division loop and metering it with the separation means. This method has been developed in Xi’an jiaotong university since the end of la...
