Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Wall Roughness and Concentration of Clay on Erosion in the Hole Erosion TestKissi Benaissa, Parron Vera Miguel Angel, Rubio Cintas Maria Dolores et al.Problem statement: Internal soil erosion is a real threat for hydraulic infrastructures. In its final stage it develops in piping involving the formation and progression of a continuous void inside the soil between the upstream and downstream sides. The hole erosion test was introduced to characterize kinematics of piping in terms of the time left to rupture. Actual modeling approaches … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 22 Nov 2010 · 8,510 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Fractional Hold Devices Versus Positive Realness of Discrete Transfer FunctionsM. de la Sen, A. Bilbao- GuillernaThe appropriate use of fractional order holds (β-FROH) of correcting gains βε[-1,1] as an alternative to the classical zero and first order -holds (ZOH, FOH) is discussed related to the positive realness of the associate discrete transfer functions obtained from a given continuous transfer function. It is proved that the minimum direct input-output gain (i.e. the quotient of the leading … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,194 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordExponential Smoothing Method of Base Flow Separation and Its Impact on Continuous Loss EstimatesGurudeo Anand Tularam, Mahbub IlaheeThe calculation of loss is vital for design flood estimation models and in order to estimate continuing loss (CL), proportional loss (PL) and volumetric runoff coefficient, the surface runoff has to be separated from the total given in a stream flow hydrograph. To obtain the volume of surface runoff from the streamflow hydrograph, baseflow separation becomes necessary and in this … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 8,492 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordMeasures of Explained Variation and the Base-Rate Problem for Logistic RegressionDinesh Sharma, Dan McGee, B.M. Golam KibriaProblem statement: Logistic regression, perhaps the most frequently used regression model after the General Linear Model (GLM), is extensively used in the field of medical science to analyze prognostic factors in studies of dichotomous outcomes. Unlike the GLM, many different proposals have been made to measure the explained variation in logistic regression analysis. One of the limitations of these measures … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 25 Feb 2012 · 8,584 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordImbedding the Multiplier in a Discretized Optimal Control Problem With Real Coefficients Via the Penalty and Multiplier MethodsO. OlotuProblem statement: Many earlier schemes, particularly the Function Space Algorithm (FSA) which sidetracks the knowledge of operator, for solving quadratic optimal control problems have been computationally involving and iteratively high. Approach: Though, some of these earlier schemes developed operators consisting of complicated integrals still very difficult to evaluate. Here, objectively, a new scheme, Discretized Continuous Algorithm (DCA), is proposed with … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,046 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordOn the Discretized Algorithm for Optimal Problems Constrained by Differential Equation with Real CoefficientsO. OlotuA discretized scheme, Discretized Continuous Algorithm (DCA), for solving constrained quadratic optimal control problems was developed to ease the computational cumbersomeness inherent in some existing algorithms, particularly, the Function Space A lgorithm (FSA) by replacing the integral by a series of summation. In order to accomplish this numerical scheme, we resort to a finite approximation of it by discretizing its … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,854 accessesView PDF Cite
