This article develops an equilibrium framework for the joint determination of the timing and the terms of takeovers in the presence of competition and imperfect information. The model analyzes takeovers as exchange options and derives equilibrium restructu ...
Iterative tuning of the parameters of a restricted-order controller using the data acquired in closed-loop operation seems to be a promising idea, especially for tuning PID controllers in industrial applications. In this paper, a new tuning approach based ...
Recent measurements in tokamak plasmas provide clear evidence for rapid nondiffusive transport and non-Gaussian fluctuations, and have been widely interpreted in terms of the sandpile and self-organized criticality (SOC) paradigms. Many of the statistical ...
Understanding and quantifying the multiscale interactions between surface shear stress and velocity in the boundary layer is essential to improving boundary condition parameterizations used in numerical models of turbulent boundary layers. In this study, h ...
A review of publication on the expansion of fluidized bed with the fluid velocity. The well-known Richardson-Zaki equation is applied to develop a more accurate relation linking the apparent drag force Fd, the effective gravitational force Fg, and the void ...
Monolayer adsorption of benzoic acid derivatives on activated oxide surfaces from solution and from the vapor phase are investigated with the view of modifying the work function of a conductive substrate. Para-substituted benzoic acids with a wide range of ...
In this paper we propose a method to segment and recognize text embedded in video and images. We modelize the gray level distribution in the text images as mixture of gaussians, and then assign each pixel to one of the gaussian layer. The assignment is bas ...
This paper deals with Super Stable Orbits (SSOs) of the logistic map, and how they can be used to describe Unstable Periodic Orbits (UPOs).~We will show that Unstable Periodic Orbits have almost the same correlation properties as Super Stable ones from whi ...

The degradation of metobromuron (MB), isoproturon (IP), chlortoluron (CT), and chlorbromuron (CB) in heterogeneous photocatalytic solution via TiO2 was studied in detail. The influence of parameters such as TiO2 and herbicide concentration has been investi ...
