long time integration of large stiff systems of initial value problems, arising from chemical reactions, demands efficient methods with good accuracy and extensive absolute stability region. in this paper, we apply second derivative general linear methods to solve some stiff chemical problems such as chemical akzo nobel problem, hires problem and orego problem.

eight faba bean genotypes and one local (barkat) as control were evaluated for three successive years (2000-2003) in a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with four replications at gorgan agricultural research station. this study was carried out to determine the morphological traits, yield components and yield stability to select the best genotypes. simple and combined analysis of variance ...

This paper is devoted to the asymptotic stability region estimation for nonlinear discrete polynomial systems. An algebraic method is derived for the enlargement of a guaranteed stability region in which the asymptotic stability is ensured. The advantages of the proposed method are the accuracy of determination of the largest stability boundary, its numerical and theoretical robustness and its ...

In this paper, the numerical stability of a partial differential equation with piecewise constant arguments is considered. Firstly, the θ -methods are applied to approximate the original equation. Secondly, the numerical asymptotic stability conditions are given when the mesh ratio and the corresponding parameter satisfy certain conditions. Thirdly, the conditions under which the numerical stab...

Hypoxia is a prominent feature of malignant tumors that are characterized by angiogenesis and vascular hyperpermeability. Vascular permeability factor/vascular endothelial growth factor (VPF/VEGF) has been shown to be up-regulated in the vicinity of necrotic tumor areas, and hypoxia potently induces VPF/VEGF expression in several tumor cell lines in vitro. Here we report that hypoxia-induced VP...

An engineered Escherichia coli PQQ glucose dehydrogenase (PQQGDH) with improved enzymatic characteristics was constructed by substituting and combining the gene-encoding protein regions responsible for EDTA tolerance, thermal stability and substrate specificity. The protein region responsible for complete EDTA tolerance in Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, which is recognized as the indicator of hig...

The concepts of stability regions, Aand A(α)-stability – albeit based on scalar models – turned out to be essential for the identification of implicit methods suitable for the integration of stiff ODEs. However, for multistep methods, knowledge of the stability region provides no information on the quantitative stability behavior of the scheme. In this paper we fill this gap for the important c...

We propose a new stability constraint for contractive receding horizon control (RHC), which was inspired by a non-monotone line search rule for optimization algorithms. Previously proposed stability constraints for contractive RHC can be seen as special cases of our new constraint. The new stability constraint guarantees asymptotic stability, but it does not ensure the monotone decrease of the ...

the geopolitically important basin of the mazandaran sea found its new identity after the collapse of the soviet :union: as an active region with specific functions. the power vacuum arising from the collapse of the soviet :union: and presence of huge energy resources attracted the attention of trans-regional powers and flow of big investment companies to the region. regional developments are a...

historically, central asia and the caucasus has been the source of important developments in the regional and global level. the whole geopolitical theories in the 20th and 21st century paid special attention to this area. geopolitical status of the region has posed challenges for residents and even neighbors of the region. these challenges can be described as the divergence factors. therefore, ...
