Convexity scaling

As indicated earlier, protective oxide scales typically have a PBR greater than unity and are, therefore, less dense than the metal from which they have formed. As a result, the formation of protective oxides invariably results in a local volume increase, or a stress-free oxidation strain" . If lateral growth occurs, then compressive stresses can build up, and these are intensified at convex and reduced at concave interfaces by the radial displacement of the scale due to outward cation diffusion (Fig. 7.7) . 

Main Advantages Simple fabrication most common inexpensive easy to modify hole size easy to scale up or down easy to clean can be flat, concave, convex, or double dished ports are easily shrouded. 

Proof. In our introductory comments to this subsection we have argued that the energy problem has no solution when S n int P f= 0. It remains to argue that the energy problem has a solution when 5 fl int P = 0. After making the identifications b = 0, L = iS, Ai = Ai = P, we apply Lemma 9 to show that there is a nonzero element P in 5 n P. We can then scale P so that it has unit trace and conclude that the convex set determined by the two conditions (P, energy problem necessarily has a solution. ... 

Levy identified the unknown part of the exact universal D functional as the correlation energy Ed D] and investigated a number of properties of c[ D], including scaling, bounds, convexity, and asymptotic behavior [11]. He suggested approximate explicit forms for Ec[ D] for computational purposes as well. Redondo presented a density-matrix formulation of several ab initio methods [26]. His generalization of the HK theorem followed closely Levy s... 

Konno and Yamazaki (1991) proposed a large-scale portfolio optimization model based on mean-absolute deviation (MAD). This serves as an alternative measure of risk to the standard Markowitz s MV approach, which models risk by the variance of the rate of return of a portfolio, leading to a nonlinear convex quadratic programming (QP) problem. Although both measures are almost equivalent from a mathematical point-of-view, they are substantially different computationally in a few perspectives, as highlighted by Konno and Wijayanayake (2002) and Konno and Koshizuka (2005). In practice, MAD is used due to its computationally-attractive linear property. 

The TF-Mini and TF-156 compactors (Vector Corporation, Marion, Iowa, U.S.A.) were equipped with concavo-convex rolls and single flight screws. The roll speed of the TF-156 was scaled to achieve the same linear velocity 74.2 in./min as the TF-Mini model. This setting maintained a comparable dwell time for material in the compaction zone. The TF-156 roll force was scaled to 5.6 ton, which equaled a force per linear-inch approximately equal to the TF-Mini 3.1 ton/in. roll width. The authors established a feed screw speed to roll speed ratio of 1.3 1 for the trials. Table 7 gives the compactor equipment settings. 

In order to compare the resilience index with the flexibility index, suppose that the RI is scaled in terms of temperature rather than load. Then the temperature RI is 6.67 K (Table III), limited by positive uncertainty in the supply temperature of stream 4. (Note that the limiting uncertainty direction changes when the RI is rescaled from load to temperature.) This means that the HEN can tolerate uncertainty of 6.67 K in any individual stream supply temperature in either a positive or negative direction. Because of linearity and convexity, it also means that the HEN can tolerate a total temperature uncertainty S,jTf - 7fN of 6.67 K, no matter how the uncertainty is distributed among the streams. Note that this does not mean that the HEN can tolerate uncertainties of 6.67 K in all... 

A drawback of the gamut-constraint method is that it may fail to find an estimate of the illuminant. This may happen if the resulting intersected convex hull A4n is the empty set. Therefore, care must be taken not to produce an empty intersection. There are several ways to address this problem. One possibility would be to iteratively compute the intersection by considering all of the vertices of the observed gamut in turn. If, as a result of the intersection, the intersected hull should become empty, the vertex is discarded and we continue with the last nonempty hull. Another possibility would be to increase the size of the two convex hulls that are about to be intersected. If the intersection should become empty, the size of both hulls is increased such that the intersection is nonempty. A simple implementation would be to scale each of the two convex hulls by a certain amount. If the intersection is still empty, we again increase the size of both hulls by a small amount. 

Since the set of illuminants Hs is a convex hull, this set will also be a convex hull. The set of maps is simply scaled by the inverse of the observed color of the standard patch viewed... 

The three-dimensional gamut-constraint method assumes that a canonical illuminant exists. The method first computes the convex hull TLC of the canonical illuminant. The points of the convex hull are then scaled using the set of image pixels. Here, the convex hull would be rescaled by the inverse of the two pixel colors cp and Cbg. The resulting hulls are then intersected and a vertex with the largest trace is selected from the hull. The following result would be obtained for the intersection of the maps Mn-... 

The numerical value of the reference curvature b can be specified in absolute units or in units scaled relative to the size of the object G(a). If absolute units are used, then a relative convexity characterization of G(a) involves size information if an object G(a) is scaled twofold, then its shape remains the same, but with respect to a fixed, nonzero b value a different relative convexity characterization is obtained. That is, the pattern of relative shape domains Do(b)> D (b), and D2(b) defined with respect to some fixed, nonzero reference curvature value b (b K)) is size-dependent. On the other hand, if the reference curvature b is specified with respect to units proportional to the size of G(a), then a simple. scaling of the object does not alter the pattern of relative shape domains with respect to the scaled reference curvature b. In this case, the shape characterization is size-invariant, that is, a "pure" shape characterization is obtained. 

A natural, size-independent relative convexity characterization is obtained if the relative curvature parameter b is scaled by a size parameter of the object G(a),...

Note that C (/) is concave, while C t) is convex for small t and concave beyond the inflection point at / = / = l/(oro), the characteristic time scale of coke buildup. Initially, there is no monolayer coke and thus no multilayer coke. As the monolayer coke begins to build up, multilayer coke formation accelerates. But after a significant portion of the active sites are coked, the rate of multilayer coke buildup slows down. It bears emphasizing that both the rates of monolayer and multilayer coke buildup depend on active sites (more on this later). 

We merely have to scale up the convex hull by a factor of Z. To be more precise, each band corresponding to a face orientation needs to be scaled up about its centroid by a factor of Z. 

A second method for determining the singularity spectrum, the one we use here, is to numerically determine both the mass exponent and its derivative. In this way we calculate the multifractal spectrum directly from the data using Eq. (86). It is clear from Fig. 9b that we obtain the canonical form of the spectrum that is, f(h) is a convex function of the scaling parameter h. The peak of the spectrum is determined to be the fractal dimension, as it should. Here again we have an indication that the interstride interval time series describes a multifractal process. We stress that we are only using the qualitative properties of the spectrum for q < 0, due to the sensitivity of the numerical method to weak singularities. 

The nonlinear form of the mass exponent in Fig. 9a, the convex form of the singularity spectmm/(/i) in Fig. 9b, and the fit to f(q) in Fig. 13, are all evidence that the interstride interval time series are multifractal. This analysis is further supported by the fact that the maxima of the singularity spectra coincide with the fractal dimensions determined using the scaling properties of the time series using the allometric aggregation technique. 

These red-pored mushrooms are recognized by large size and club-shaped stem with coarse, reddish scales. Caps range from 3" to 7" wide and are broadly convex, almost spherical. The surface is dry, uneven or pitted, color ranging from dull-brown to cream-brown, the pigments often mottled, frequently tinged reddish towards the edge. 

The new scaled limits become more permissive than the classic unsealed BE limits as variability increases, and thus they require fewer subjects to prove BE. Nevertheless, the GMR acceptance region has a convex shape (Fig. 1), which is similar to that of the classic unsealed 0.80 to 1.25 limits (29,40). Undoubtedly, this is not only a desired property but also a unique characteristic for a scaled method. This finding is a consequence of the new structure of the BE limits with leveling-off properties.
