Synchronization Based Approach for Estimating All Model Parameters of Chaotic Systems
The problem of dynamic estimation of all parameters of a model representing
chaotic and hyperchaotic systems using information from a scalar measured
output is solved. The variational calculus based method is robust in the
presence of noise, enables online estimation of the parameters and is also able
to rapidly track changes in operating parameters of the experimental system.
The method is demonstrated using the Lorenz, Rossler chaos and hyperchaos
models. Its possible application in decoding communications using chaos is
discussed.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figure
A Web-Based Recommendation System for Mobile Phone Selection
Mobile phones have become indispensable in our everyday life. The fierce market competition characterized by rapid expansion of advanced functionality and feature is making consumers’ mobile phone selections increasingly complex and challenging. In this study, we use Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), a multiple criteria decision method, to build a recommendation system for mobile phones selection. AHP provides a structural and easily comprehensible model for making product choices. We empirically evaluate our recommendation system by conducting a controlled experiment that involved 244 mobile phone users. Our analysis results indicate that the use of the proposed system results in higher satisfaction than that associated with the rank-based and equal-weight based benchmark systems
Poisson homology of r-matrix type orbits I: example of computation
In this paper we consider the Poisson algebraic structure associated with a
classical -matrix, i.e. with a solution of the modified classical
Yang--Baxter equation. In Section 1 we recall the concept and basic facts of
the -matrix type Poisson orbits. Then we describe the -matrix Poisson
pencil (i.e the pair of compatible Poisson structures) of rank 1 or -type
orbits of . Here we calculate symplectic leaves and the integrable
foliation associated with the pencil. We also describe the algebra of functions
on -type orbits. In Section 2 we calculate the Poisson homology of
Drinfeld--Sklyanin Poisson brackets which belong to the -matrix Poisson
family
The Relationship between Information Exchange Benefits and Performance: the Mediating Effect of Supply Chain Compliance in the Chinese Poultry Chain
This paper aims to examine the relationships between information exchange benefits and company performance, and the mediating effect of supply chain compliance on this relationship. A sample of 165 buying companies and of 96 suppliers were analyzed by partial least square (PLS) path modeling. Five company characteristics, including company size, company age, company type, quality standard implemented, and administrative level of a location, were added as control variables in the model. The paper extends our understanding on the relationships between perceived communication benefits, supply chain compliance, performance and company characteristics. Managerial implications are generalized for buyers and suppliers respectively
Tension term, interchange symmetry, and the analogy of energy and tension laws of the AdS soliton solution
In this paper, we reconsider the energy and tension laws of the Ricci flat
black hole by taking the contribution of the tension term into account. After
this considering and inspired by the interchange symmetry between the Ricci
flat black hole and the AdS soliton solution which arises from the double
analytic continuation of the time and compact spatial direction, we find out
the analogy of the energy and tension laws of the AdS soliton solution.
Moreover, we also investigate the energy and tension laws of the boosted Ricci
flat black hole, and discuss the boosted AdS soliton solution. However,
although there is the same interchange symmetry between the boosted Ricci flat
black hole and boosted AdS soliton, the analogy of laws of the boosted AdS
soliton solution may be of no sense for the existence of the closed timelike
curves and conical singularity. In spite of that, the conserved charges such as
the energy and momentum of the boosted AdS soliton are well-defined, and an
interesting result is that its energy is lower than that of the static AdS
soliton. On the other hand, note that although the laws obtained above are the
same as those of the asymptotically flat case, the underlying deduced contents
are different. Thus, our results could also be considered as a simple
generalization to the asymptotically AdS case. Moreover, during the
calculation, we find that there may be a new way to define the gravitational
tension which can come from the quasi-local stress tensor of the counter-term
method.Comment: V4: 15 pages, no figure, version to appear in JHE
Effects of organic plant oils and role of oxidation on nutrient utilization in juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
The study compared the effect of four either fresh or force oxidized organic plant oils in diets for juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in which 47% of conventional LT fish meal protein was substituted by a mixture of 3 organic plant protein concentrates. Fish oil was completely substituted with either organic linseed oil; rape seed oil; sunflower oil or grape seed oil and evaluated based on feed intake, feed utilization, growth and digestibility. None of the plant oils affected feed intake and growth parameters. Organic plant oils had all a positive effect on lipid digestibility as compared with the fish oil based control diet, despite the very different FA profiles. The organic vegetable oils did not undergo autoxidation, as opposed to the fish oil control for which lipid digestibility was significantly negative influenced
Analytical solution of generalized Burton--Cabrera--Frank equations for growth and post--growth equilibration on vicinal surfaces
We investigate growth on vicinal surfaces by molecular beam epitaxy making
use of a generalized Burton--Cabrera--Frank model. Our primary aim is to
propose and implement a novel analytical program based on a perturbative
solution of the non--linear equations describing the coupled adatom and dimer
kinetics. These equations are considered as originating from a fully
microscopic description that allows the step boundary conditions to be directly
formulated in terms of the sticking coefficients at each step. As an example,
we study the importance of diffusion barriers for adatoms hopping down
descending steps (Schwoebel effect) during growth and post-growth equilibration
of the surface.Comment: 16 pages, REVTeX 3.0, IC-DDV-94-00
Electron interference and entanglement in coupled 1D systems with noise
We estimate the role of noise in the formation of entanglement and in the
appearance of single- and two-electron interference in systems of coupled
one-dimensional channels semiconductors. Two cases are considered: a
single-particle interferometer and a two-particle interferometer exploiting
Coulomb interaction. In both of them, environmental noise yields a
randomization of the carrier phases. Our results assess how that the
complementarity relation linking single-particle behavior to nonlocal
quantities, such as entanglement and environment-induced decoherence, acts in
electron interferometry. We show that, in a experimental implementation of the
setups examined, one- and two-electron detection probability at the output
drains can be used to evaluate the decoherence phenomena and the degree of
entanglement.Comment: 12 pages, 6 figures. v2: added some references and corrected tex
Gravitational-wave Detection With Matter-wave Interferometers Based On Standing Light Waves
We study the possibility of detecting gravitational-waves with matter-wave
interferometers, where atom beams are split, deflected and recombined totally
by standing light waves. Our calculation shows that the phase shift is
dominated by terms proportional to the time derivative of the gravitational
wave amplitude. Taking into account future improvements on current
technologies, it is promising to build a matter-wave interferometer detector
with desired sensitivity.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures. To be published in General Relativity and

Slowly rotating black holes in the Horava-Lifshitz gravity
We investigate slowly rotating black holes in the Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz (HL)
gravity. For and , we find a slowly rotating black
hole of the Kehagias-Sfetsos solution in asymptotically flat spacetimes. We
discuss their thermodynamic properties by computing mass, temperature, angular
momentum, and angular velocity on the horizon.Comment: 12 pages, no figures, version to appear in EPJ
