Hypersonic aerothermodynamics for a probe entering a planetary atmosphere is an important issue in space exploration. The probe experiences various Knudsen number regimes, ranging from rarefied to continuum, due to density variation in the planet’s atmosphere. To simulate such multiscale flows, a novel hybrid particle scheme is employed in the present work. The hybrid particle scheme employs th...

Abstract. Based on the conception of majority voting, a hybrid ARQ scheme for binary linear block codes over AWGN channel is presented. At each transmission, the received word is kept in memory buffers if errors are detected. If there are still errors after a number of transmissions, the re-transmission stops to improve the throughput efficiency. From the received words, the decoding process of...

In recent years, it is of great interest to evaluate the level liabilities hybrid pension system as mixed schemes are favored by various countries around world. This paper further improves liability assessment method proposed Broeders et al accounting for inflation risk and assuming that measured a price index follows geometric Brownian motion. A simulation-based pricing framework then introduc...
