Markov Chain properties in terms of column sums of the transition matrix
(Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Tartu, 2012)Questions are posed regarding the influence that the column sums of the transition probabilities of a stochastic matrix (with row sums all one) have on the stationary distribution, the mean first passage times and the ... -
Markov chain properties in terms of column sums of the transition matrix
(Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, 2011)Questions are posed regarding the influence that the column sums of the transition probabilities of a stochastic matrix (with row sums all one) have on the stationary distribution, the mean first passage times and the ... -
Mass-redistribution-induced crustal deformation of global satellite laser ranging stations due to non-tidal ocean and land water circulation
(TerraPub, 2006)The effect of the non-tidal ocean load (NTOL) and the continental water load (CWL) on crustal deformation are calculated for global satellite laser ranging (SLR) stations and on 4!×4! grids (only over the land). For the ... -
Mathematical modeling of a solar powered humidification dehumidification desalination prototype
(Solar 2014 Conference & Expo, 2014)In recent times the issue of fresh water shortages and salinity contamination of existing water sources has become a serious problem in a number of locations around the world. Hence, developing an environmentally friendly ... -

Measuring cascade effects in interdependent networks by using effective graph resistance
(IEEE, 2015)Understanding the correlation between the underlie network structure and overlay cascade effects in the interdependent networks is one of major challenges in complex network studies. There are some existing metrics that ... -
Measuring monotony in two-dimensional samples
(Taylor & Francis, 2010)The paper introduces a monotony coefficient as a new measure of the monotone dependence in a two-dimensional sample. Some properties of this measure are derived. In particular, it is shown that the absolute value of the ... -
Measuring strategic performance in construction companies: a proposed integrated model
(Emerald, 2015)Purpose – This paper aims to examine and compare a performance measurement system and performance frameworks commonly used within the construction industry. The paper explores the strengths and weaknesses of balanced ... -
Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of Laser Welded Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo (Ti6242) Titanium Alloy
(Elsevier, 2016)Room temperature tensile properties and microhardness of a laser welded Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo (Ti6242) titanium alloy sheet were examined and correlated to the microstructure evolution across the weld. Tensile testing integrated ... -
