Alternative method of diffraction-enhanced imaging
( Elsevier B.V. , 2007 , Article)Diffraction-enhanced imaging (DEI) is a radiographic technique that derives contrast from an object's X-ray absorption, refraction gradient and small-angle scatter properties (extinction). The DEI imaging system prepares ... -
A generalized differential transform method for linear partial differential equations of fractional order
( Elsevier B.V. , 2007 , Article)In this letter we develop a new generalization of the two-dimensional differential transform method that will extend the application of the method to linear partial differential equations with space- and time-fractional ... -
On the numerical simulation of population dynamics with density-dependent migrations and the Allee effects
( IOP Publishing , 2008 , Article)In this paper, the variational iteration method (VIM) and the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) are presented for the numerical simulation of the population dynamics model with density-dependent migrations and the Allee ... -
Numerical bifurcation of predator-prey fractional differential equations with a constant rate harvesting
( IOP Publishing , 2008 , Article)In this article saddle and Hopf bifurcation points of predator-prey fractional differential equations system with a constant rate harvesting are investigated. The numerical results based on Grunwald-Letnikov discretization ... -
Analytical approach to the Darcy–Lapwood–Brinkman equation
( Elsevier , 2007 , Article)Three exact solutions are obtained for flow through porous media, as governed by the Darcy–Lapwood–Brinkman model, for a given vorticity distribution. The resulting flow fields are identified as reversing flows; stagnation ... -
Estimation of Pr(X ≤ Y) using record values in the one and two parameter exponential distributions
( Taylor & Francis , 2008 , Article)Abstract We consider the problem of estimating the stress-strength reliability when the available data is in the form of record values. The one parameter and two parameters exponential distribution are considered. In the ... -
Likelihood and Bayesian estimation of using lower record values from the generalized exponential distribution
( Elsevier Ltd , 2007 , Article)We consider the likelihood and Bayesian estimation of the stress-strength reliability based on lower record values from the generalized exponential distribution. The estimators are derived and their properties are studied. ... -
Preparation, spectroscopic and structural studies on charge-transfer complexes of 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline with some electron acceptors
( Elsevier , 2007 , Article)Charge-transfer (CT) complexes formed in the reactions of 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Me2phen) with some acceptors such as chloranil (Chl), picric acid (HPA) and chloranilic acid (H2CA) have been studied in the defined ... -
Analysis of particulate behavior in porous media
( Shanghai University Press , 2008 , Article)In this work, we analyze the behavior of the particle phase in the flow of a particle-laden mixture through a porous medium. An attempt is made to model the diffusion and dispersion processes, and to quantify the deviation ... -
Solving systems of fractional differential equations using differential transform method
( Elsevier B.V. , 2007 , Article)This paper presents approximate analytical solutions for systems of fractional differential equations using the differential transform method. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. The application ... -
Convergence theorems for nonself asymptotically nonexpansive mappings
( Elsevier B.V. , 2007 , Article)In this paper, we prove some strong and weak convergence theorems using a modified iterative process for nonself asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in a uniformly convex Banach space. This will improve and generalize the ... -
On the estimation of reliabilty function in a Weibull lifetime distribution
( Taylor & Francis , 2008 , Article)The estimation of the reliability function of the Weibull lifetime model is considered in the presence of uncertain prior information (not in the form of prior distribution) on the parameter of interest. This information ... -
On the 'independence of trials-assumption' in geometric distribution
( Taylor & Francis, Ltd , 2008 , Article)In this note, it is shown through an example that the assumption of the independence of Bernoulli trials in the geometric experiment may unexpectedly not be satisfied. The example can serve as a suitable and useful classroom ... -
One and two sample confidence intervals for estimating the mean of skewed populations: an empirical comparative study
( TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD , 2009 , Article)In this paper we consider and propose some confidence intervals for estimating the mean or difference of means of skewed populations. We extend the median t interval to the two sample problem. Further, we suggest using the ... -
The modified homotopy perturbation method for solving strongly nonlinear oscillators
( Elsevier , 2009 , Article)In this paper we propose a reliable algorithm for the solution of nonlinear oscillators. Our algorithm is based upon the homotopy perturbation method (HPM), Laplace transforms, and Padé approximants. This modified homotopy ... -
