Recently it is suggested that it may be possible to obtain the approximate or exact bound state solutions of nonrelativistic Schr$\ddot{o}$dinger equation from relativistic Klein-Gordon equation, which seems to be counter-intuitive. But the suggestion is further elaborated to propose a more detailed method for obtaining nonrelativistic solutions from relativistic solutions. We demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method with the Morse potential as an example. This work shows that exact relativistic solutions can be a good starting point for obtaining nonrelativistic solutions even though a rigorous algebraic method is not found yet.

The spectral content of ground displacement of the 10 largest last California earthquakes is studied. Specifically, the power spectral density function of the critical horizontal-component record of the closest-to-epicenter station is analyzed in each case. The results permit to state that horizontal ground displacement is a narrow-band process. This fact was previously noticed while trying to solve the large-base-displacement problem in isolated structures and it was fundamental in the solution of this issue; however, these preliminary results were limited in number to enable a statement like the foregoing one. Thus, the broader results presented herein were necessary.

This paper introduces the application of a SUI PID controller for permanent magnet (PM) drive systems. The drive system model is developed via FO control. Simulation of the system is carried out to predict the performance at no load and under load. The results and comparisons indicate that application of a SUI PID controller is effective for sensorless PM drive systems.

The construction of asymptotic confidence intervals is considered for the difference of binomial proportions in two doubly sampled data subject to false-positive error. The coverage behaviors of several likelihood based confidence intervals and a Bayesian confidence interval are examined. It is shown that a hierarchical Bayesian approach gives a confidence interval with good frequentist properties. Confidence interval based on the Rao score is also shown to have good performance in terms of coverage probability. However, the Wald confidence interval covers true value less often than nominal level.

The current study presents a mathematical model and numerical method for free vibration of tapered piles embedded in two-parameter elastic foundations. The method of Discrete Singular Convolution (DSC) is used for numerical simulation. Bernoulli-Euler beam theory is considered. Various numerical applications demonstrate the validity and applicability of the proposed method for free vibration analysis. The results prove that the proposed method is quite easy to implement, accurate and highly efficient for free vibration analysis of tapered beam-columns embedded in Winkler- Pasternak elastic foundations.

A theoretical study for the flux enhancement by pulsation of transmembrane pressure is presented for osmotic pressure controlled ultrafiltration under laminar flow regime. The transient velocity profile is solved analytically using Green's function method. Time dependent convective diffusive equation is solved to quantify the membrane surface concentration and the permeate flux, numerically. The effects of the amplitude and frequency of pulsation on flux, surface concentration and observed retention are studied.

In this paper we construct a subalgebra $L_8$ of $M_8({\mathbb{R}})$ which is a generalization of the algebra of quaternions. Moreover we prove that the algebra $L_8$ is the real Clifford algebra $Cl_3$, and so $L_8$ is a matrix representation of Clifford algebra $Cl_3$.

We study a singular function which we call a generalized cylinder convex(concave) function induced from different generalized dyadic expansion systems on the unit interval. We show that the generalized cylinder convex(concave)function is a singular function and the length of its graph is 2. Using a local dimension set in the unit interval, we give some characterization of the distribution set using its derivative, which leads to that this singular function is nowhere differentiable in the sense of topological magnitude.

화산활동으로 인한 피해를 현장관측을 통해 조사할 경우, 비용과 인력, 안전 등의 문제로 인한 어려움이 많다. 인공위성 영상을 활용한 원격탐사는 이와 같은 문제를 극복하기에 매우 유용한 도구 중에 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 2009년 4월 17일과 2012년 7월 30일에 획득된 Landsat 7 ETM+ 위성 영상을 이용하여 인도네시아 수마트라 섬에 위치한 시나붕 화산의 2010년 화산활동을 관측하였다. 피복분류를 통해 2010년 분화 전 후의 화성쇄설류 범람 지역을 추출한 결과, 2010년 분화로 인해 화성쇄설류 범람 지역의 면적이 약 3배나 증가한 것을 확인하였다. 화성쇄설류 범람 지역 예측 모델링으로 얻어진 결과는 Landsat 영상에서 추출된 화성쇄설류 범람 지역과 비교되었다. 그 결과, 화성쇄설류 범람 지역 예측 모델링은 범람의 거리(길이)는 92%로 정확하게 계산되었지만 화산의 경사가 급격한 지역에서는 범람의 폭이 다소 부정확하게 계산되어 17%의 정확도를 나타내었다.

Background: Thyroid tumors are generally regarded as rare malignancies. Nowadays, however, their global incidence is growing continuously partially due to western life style and utilization of more sensitive methods of early detection. It is approximately three times more prevalent in females than in males. Most cases of thyroid cancer are asymptomatic nodules or just have local cervical symptoms or adenopathy in early stages. Materials and Methods: The Global Burden of Diseases report 2010 study (released 3/2013) profited from 100 collaborators worldwide and used a vast network of data on health outcomes, vital registries, and population surveys. It shared many of the Global Burden of Diseases 1990 principal databases such as all available data on injuries, diseases, risk factors, as well as comparable metrics, and used different scientific approved methods to estimate important health status data like: death rate, life expectancy, healthy adjusted life expectancy, disability-adjusted life years (DALY), years of living lost due to premature death and years of life with disabilities. Results: DALY as thyroid cancer burden per 100,000 Iranian populations had increased by about 14% during 1990 to 2010 in all ages; from 6.1 (95% UI 4.2-9.74) years in 1990 to 6.95 (95% UI 5.06-9.18) years in 2010 in both sex. The 2010 peak age-group was estimated at 45-49 years in males and 40-45 years in females.
