We present a unified and tractable framework for distributionally robust optimization that could encompass a variety of statistical information including, among others things, constraints on expectation, conditional expectation, and disjoint confidence sets with uncertain probabilities defined by φ-divergence. In particular, we also show that the Wasserstein-based ambiguity set has an equivalen...

Thermal plasma has emerged as a technology with tremendous promise for municipal wastes that should be disposed of sustainably. A numerical simulation symmetric turbulent jet from thermal air torch was developed using COMSOL Multiphysics®5.4 engineering software. The velocities, temperature, arc root motion, and joule heating the were examined under impact gas mass flow rate current. Moreover, ...

Understanding the spatial patterns of organisms and the underlying mechanisms shaping biotic communities is a central goal in community ecology. One of the most well documented spatial patterns in plant and animal communities is the positive-power law relationship between species (or taxa) richness and area. Such taxa-area relationships (TARs) are one of the principal generalizations in ecology...

Candida albicans is the major invasive fungal pathogen of humans, causing diseases ranging from superficial mucosal infections to disseminated, systemic infections that are often lifethreatening. We have used massively parallel high-throughput sequencing of cDNA (RNA-seq) to generate a high-resolution map of the C. albicans transcriptome under several different environmental conditions. We have...

Nowadays vehicles are increasing day by day in town and cities roads. It is a well-known problem to manage traffics on the roads in towns and cities. A lot of accident occurs on the road due to careless driving and Technical faults in vehicles. The main problem of traffic authorities is to manage the traffic on the road for the smooth functioning of vehicles that can reduce the accident and vio...

Transverse aeolian ridges (TARs) are poorly understood relict Martian surface features. Processes that create TARs not well-constrained, and understanding their formation is complicated since they appear to share some features of ripples, megaripples, dunes. While evidence multi-stage TAR has been documented in Nirgal Vallis, here we present additional for this process at nine locations on Mars...

The current study was carried out to evaluate the quantity and quality of rural domestic waste generation and to identify the factors affecting it in rural areas of Khodabandeh county in Zanjan Province, Iran. Waste samplings consisted of 318 rural households in 11 villages. In order to evaluate the quality and quantity of the rural domestic waste, waste production was classified into 12 groups...
