The conventional design of bridge piers against scour uses scour equations which involve number of uncertain flow, sediments and structural parameters. The inherent high uncertainties in these parameters suggest that the reliability of piers must be assessed to ensure desirable safety of bridges against scour. In the present study, a procedure for the reliability assessment of bridge piers, installed in main and flood channels, against scour has been presented. To study the influence of various random variables on piers' reliability sensitivity analysis has been carried out. To incorporate the reliability in the evaluation of safety factor, a simplified relationship between safety factor and reliability index has been proposed. Effects of clear water (flood channel) and live bed scour (main channel) are highlighted on pier reliability. In addition to these, an attempt has also been made to explain the failure of Black mount bridge of New Zealand based on its pier's reliability analysis. Some parametric studies have also been included to obtain the results of practical interest.

In this paper, using proximal-point mappings technique of Raccretive mappings and the property of the fixed point set of set-valued contractive mappings, we study the behavior and sensitivity analysis of the solution set of the system of parametric generalized quasi-variational inclusions involving R-accretive mappings in real uniformly smooth Banach space. Further under suitable conditions, we discuss the Lipschitz continuity of the solution set with respect to parameters. The technique and results presented in this paper can be viewed as extension of the techniques and corresponding results given in [3, 23, 24, 32, 33, 34].

In this paper, we introduce a generating function for a Legendre-based poly-Bernoulli polynomials and give some identities of these polynomials related to the Stirling numbers of the second kind. By making use of the generating function method and some functional equations mentioned in the paper, we conduct a further investigation in order to obtain some implicit summation formulae for the Legendre-based poly-Bernoulli numbers and polynomials.

The present study aims at the reliability analysis of steel towers against the limit state of deflection. For this purpose tip deflection of the tower has been obtained after carrying out the dynamic analysis of the tower using modal method. This tip deflection is employed for subsequent reliability analysis. A limit state function based on serviceability criterion of deflection is derived in terms of random variables. A complete procedure of reliability computation is then presented. To study the influence of various random variables on tower reliability, sensitivity analysis has been carried out. Design points, important for probabilistic design of towers, are also located on the failure surface. Some parametric studies have also been included to obtain the results of academic and field interest.

This paper is concerned to investigate M-Wright function, which was earlier known as transcendental function of the Wright type. M-Wright function is a special case of the Wright function given by British mathematician (E.Maitland Wright) in 1933. We have explored the cosequences of Riemann-Liouville Integral and Differential operators on M-Wright function. We have also evaluated integral transforms of the M-Wright function.

Let R be a *-ring and n ≥ 1 be an integer. The objective of this paper is to introduce the notion of n-skew centralizing maps on *-rings, and investigate the impact of these maps. In particular, we describe the structure of prime rings with involution '*' such that _*[x, d(x)]_n ∈ Z(R) for all x ∈ R (for n = 1, 2), where d : R → R is a nonzero derivation of R. Among other related results, we also provide two examples to prove that the assumed restrictions on our main results are not superfluous.

For the numerous uses and significance of the Whittaker function in the diverse research areas of mathematical sciences and engineering sciences, This paper aims to introduce an extension of the Whittaker function by using a new extended confluent hypergeometric function of the first kind in terms of the Mittag-Leffler function. We also drive various valuable results like integral representation, integral transform and derivative formula. Further, we also analyze specific known results as a particular case of the main result.

Let ℜ be a *-algebra with unity I and a nontrivial projection P₁. In this paper, we show that under certain restrictions if a map ψ : ℜ → ℜ satisfies $$\Psi(S_1{\diamond}S_2{\cdot}{\cdot}{\cdot}{\diamond}S_{n-1}{\bullet}S_n)=\sum_{k=1}^nS_1{\diamond}S_2{\diamond}{\cdot}{\cdot}{\cdot}{\diamond}S_{k-1}{\diamond}{\Psi}(S_k){\diamond}S_{k+1}{\diamond}{\cdot}{\cdot}{\cdot}{\diamond}S_{n-1}{\bullet}S_n$$ for all S_n-2, S_n-1, S_n ∈ ℜ and S_i = I for all i ∈ {1, 2, . . . , n - 3}, where n ≥ 3, then ψ is an additive *-derivation.

In this paper, we utilize an implicit relation to improve and extend some strict common fixed point results of the existing literature to two pairs of hybrid mappings in 2-metric spaces via altering distances. As an application, we also prove some strict common fixed point theorems for hybrid pairs of mappings satisfying a contractive condition of integral type in 2-metric spaces.
