in this research three-dimensional free vibration analysis of functionally graded circular plate with various boundary conditions is achieved. a semi-analytical method, which makes use of the state space method and the one-dimensional differential quadrature method, is used to obtain the vibration frequencies and dynamic responses of circular plates. numerical results are given to demonstrate t...

We study a multiscale discontinuous Galerkin method introduced in [10] that reduces the computational complexity of the discontinuous Galerkin method, seemingly without adversely affecting the quality of results. For a stabilized variant we are able to obtain the same error estimates for the advection-diffusion equation as for the usual discontinuous Galerkin method. We assess the stability of ...

BACKGROUND There has been limited decline in undernutrition rates in South Asia compared with the rest of Asia and one reason for this may be low levels of household food security. However, the evidence base on the determinants of household food security is limited. To develop policies intended to improve household food security, improved knowledge of the determinants of household food security...

Laser-induced damage has always been and remains as vexing as it is expensive. Despite a quarter century of work, the problem has not been eliminated or even fully defined-only the technical limits have been increased. Although dielectric thin films have improved over the last 25 years, they remain especially difficult subjects to deal with owing to the multiparameter nature of the nonequilibri...

To improve the effectiveness of a previous regression-based approach for the assessment of the agreement between different analytical methods, two modifications/integrations to the original scheme by means of log10 transformation of data and implementation of inherent combined imprecision are presented in this study.

The application of statistical machine learning techniques to neuroimaging data has allowed researchers to decode the cognitive and disease states of participants. The majority of studies using these techniques have focused on pattern classification to decode the type of object a participant is viewing, the type of cognitive task a participant is completing, or the disease state of a participan...
