We present a systematical analysis of uncertainties in the helioseismological determination of quantities characterizing the solar structure. We discuss the effect of errors on the measured frequencies, the residual solar model dependence and the uncertainties of the inversion method. We find Y ph = 0.238 − 0.259, R b /R ⊙ = 0.708 − 0.714 and ρ b = (0.185 − 0.199) gr/cm 3 (the index b refers to...

The magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of Ni48Co2Mn35In15 were studied using magnetization and heat capacity measurements. The magnetic entropy change (DSM) was evaluated from both magnetizing and demagnetizing fields. An inverse DSM for the magnetizing and demagnetizing processes were found to be 20.5 and 18.5 J kg!1 K!1, respectively, for DH1⁄4 5 T at the martensitic transition (T1⁄4 TM)....

it is extremely challenging to measure first-order rate coefficients for soil nitrate transformation processes directly, either in the laboratory or in the field. in this study, an improved inverse method was proposed to optimize the first-order rate coefficients by considering the intermediate changing processes of the integrated functions. a numerical experiment was designed to test the accur...

in many infeasible linear programs it is important to construct it to a feasible problem with a minimum pa-rameters changing corresponding to a given nonnegative vector. this paper defines a new inverse problem, called “inverse feasible problem”. for a given infeasible polyhedron and an n-vector a minimum perturba-tion on the parameters can be applied and then a feasible polyhedron is concluded.

Using a parallel link mechanism as the basic structure of the parallel link machine tool is a new design concept and has become one of the most important research ®elds and attracts many previous researchers. However, the application of these machines as a machine tool has not proven itself in terms of accuracy enhancement over traditional machine tools. In general, the geometry of the machine ...

We analyze the use of kinematic constraints for articulated object tracking. Conditions for the occurrence of singularities in 3-D models are presented and their effects on tracking are characterized. We describe a novel 2-D Scaled Prismatic Model (SPM) for figure registration. In contrast to 3-D kinematic models, the SPM has fewer singularity problems and does not require detailed knowledge of...

Generalized parton distributions are investigated within a holographic approach where the string modes in the fifth dimension describe the nucleon in a bottom–up or AdS/QCD framework. The aim is to bring the AdS/QCD results in the realm of phenomenology in order to extract consequences and previsions. Two main aspects are studied: (i) the role of the confining potential needed for breaking conf...

This paper addresses kinematic control of a redundant space manipulator mounted on a freeoating spacecraft. Redundancy of the system with respect to the number of task variables for spacecraft attitude and manipulator end-e ector pose is considered. Also, the problem of both spacecraft attitude and end-e ector orientation representation is tackled. A nonminimal singularity-free representation o...
