in this paper, two new quadrilateral elements are formulated to solve plane problems. low sensitivity to geometric distortion, no parasitic shear error, rotational invariance, and satisfying the felippa pure bending test are characteristics of these suggested elements. one proposed element is formulated by establishing equilibrium equations for the second-order strain field. the other suggested...

Research into the detrimental effects of excessive exercise has been conceptualized in a number of similar ways, including 'exercise addiction', 'exercise dependence', 'obligatory exercising', 'exercise abuse', and 'compulsive exercise'. Among the most currently used (and psychometrically valid and reliable) instruments is the Exercise Addiction Inventory (EAI). The present study aimed to furth...

Loop optimization plays an important role in compiler optimization and program transformation. Many sophisticated techniques such as loop-invariance code motion, loop restructuring and loop fusion have been developed. This paper introduces a novel technique called loop quasi-invariance code motion. It is a generalization of standard loop-invariance code motion, but based on loop quasi-invarianc...

We investigate the invariance properties of a class of switched systems where the value of a switching signal determines the current mode of operation (among a finite number of them) and, for each fixed mode, its dynamics are described by a Differential Algebraic Equation (DAE). Motivated by the lack of invariance principles of switched DAE systems, we develop such principles for switched DAE s...

This research study analyzes the effect of teamwork on employee performance about the staff members of Higher Education Department of Khyber Pakhtoon Khawa (KPK), Peshawar Province of Pakistan. Several measures of employee performance were analyzed including esprit de corps, team trust and recognition and rewards. There is clear evidence that teamwork and other measures of employee performance ...

in this short review we look at recent advances in schramm-loewner evolution (sle) theory and its application to critical phenomena. the application of sle goes beyond critical systems to other time dependent, scale invariant phenomena such as turbulence, sand-piles and watersheds. through the use of sle, the evolution of conformally invariant paths on the complex plane can be followed; hence a...

The ordinary notion of algorithmic randomness of reals can be characterised as MartinLöf randomness with respect to the Lebesgue measure or as Kolmogorov randomness with respect to the binary representation. In this paper we study the question how the notion of algorithmic randomness induced by the signed-digit representation of the real numbers is related to the ordinary notion of algorithmic ...

We assess within-study invariance of key UTAUT scales considering a total of six respondent group characteristics: five variables pertaining to users’ two technology engagement facets (prior technology knowledge and technology usage pattern) and one variable pertaining to their gender. Data collected from 250 respondents about their perceptions and usage of online blogs were analyzed to test si...
