Just as the First Moment Method is a way to upper-bound the threshold of k-SAT, so is the Second Moment Method a way to lower-bound it. After a brief technical introduction to the Second Moment Method in section 1.1, we present in section 1.2 a survey of the early attempts to lower-bound the threshold of 3-SAT through the Second Moment Method. As in the First Moment Method, the general idea is ...

Statistical frequency analysis is the most common procedure for the analysis of flood data at a gauged location thatin first step it is needed to select a model to represent the population. Among them, the central moment has been themost common and widely used, and with the using of computers, the application of the maximum likelihood hasincreased. This research was carried out in order to reco...

analytical detection of cracking in connections of steel moment resisting frames using simple damage indices is important since these cracks are not visible unless the connections are uncovered. in this paper, applicability of three cumulative damage indices for detection of cracking in a cover plate welded moment connection is investigated. the damage indices considered in this study are based...
