A class of multivariate type I generalized logistic distributions

2010

The logistic distribution has found important applications in many different fields and several different forms of generalizations have been proposed in the literature. However it seems, with a few exceptions, that there are not in the literature forms of multivariate generalized logistic distributions. In this paper we focus on the type I generalized logistic distribution and, based on a procedure of multivariate transformation of multivariate exponential distributions, we introduce a class of multivariate type I generalized logistic distributions. We provide some examples of bivariate and multivariate distributions of this class.

Type-2 intuitionistic fuzzy TODIM for intelligent decision-making under uncertainty and hesitancy

2022

AbstractThe classical TODIM considers the crisp numbers to handle the information. However, in a real-world applicative context, this information is bounded by noise and vagueness and hence uncertain. There are wide range of works in the literature which utilizes fuzzy sets to handle the uncertainty in the various dimensions. However, there is a constraint of hesitancy in such decision-making problems due to the involvement of various decision-makers. Also, in the TODIM method, decision-maker’s bounded rationality and psychological behavior are also taken into consideration which adds up the hesitation and considers the problem with higher dimension of uncertainty. There are various applica…

Do Older Employees Suffer More from Work Intensification and Other Intensified Job Demands? Evidence from Upper White-Collar Workers

2019

Background: Working life today is characterized by acceleration and intensification due to social, and particularly technological, acceleration affecting the whole of society. These phenomena also affect working life by intensifying job demands, possibly imposing new job stressors on the workforce. At the same time workforce is aging, raising a question how older employees manage to cope with these work life changes. Methods: This study examined intensified job demands and their effects on occupational well-being from the age perspective utilizing Finnish survey data from upper white-collar workers (N = 2,200). Data was analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance and hierarchical reg…

Procesado de imágenes por técnicas de multiplexado. Aplicación al reconocimiento de objetos tridimensionales

2002

En este trabajo se han desarrollado varias aplicaciones, empleando técnicas de multiplexado, dentro de los campos del procesado óptico de imágenes y del reconocimiento óptico de objetos. En concreto, empleando el multiplexado en longitud de onda como técnica que permite aumentar el caudal de información que se puede transmitir a través de un sistema óptico, hemos extendido las capacidades de reconocimiento de un correlador óptico iluminado con luz blanca al caso de la invariancia a escala del objeto de referencia hasta una relación de escalas de 2:1. Esto ha sido posible ampliando el espectro de detección hasta el infrarrojo cercano y empleando un filtro sólo de fase que aumenta las capacid…

Mutilazioni sessuali e pratiche rituali nel diritto civile

2011

Il saggio esamina in prospettiva giuscivilistica il tema delle mutilazioni sessuali e delle pra-tiche rituali. L'indagine si muove nel quadro delle regole e dei principi che presiedono alle scelte esistenziali dell'individuo in ordine alla sfera della sessualità. Lo scrutinio, partendo dai dati normativi e giurisprudenziali rilevanti in àmbito interno e sovranazionale e dall'elaborazione dottrinale in materia, è condotta in maniera separata per le mutilazioni sessuali femminili e per quelle maschili, queste ultime riconducibili prevalentemente alla circoncisione, considerando tali pratiche quando eseguite per motivazioni rituali e/o religiose, e in assenza di finalità sanitarie. Registrata …

Prompt Determination of the Mechanical Properties of Industrial Polypropylene Sandwich Pipes

2021

A simple and prompt method to determine the mechanical properties of industrial multilayer extrusion polypropylene pipes for a gravity sewer network is suggested. The engineering formulas included for calculating the permissible thickness and relative position of a foam core in the pipes are based on a linear-elastic approximation and the rule of mixtures. The applicability of the approximation was justified experimentally during investigation of the effective tensile characteristics of single- and multilayer pipes and each layer specimen by using traditional tests and finite-element calculations. The results obtained were used to formulate engineering recommendations for calculations of th…

Problemløsning i matematikk : hvordan resonnerer elever på 9.trinn under arbeid med problemløsningsoppgaver i multiplikasjon?

2016

Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk – Universitetet i Agder 2016 This is a qualitative case study, which highlights students' reasoning in problem solving. The research question is: How do students in 9th grade reason while working with problem solving tasks in multiplication. The purpose of this study is to investigate how students in 9th grade reason while working with problem solving tasks. More knowledge about students' reasoning in problem solving, can contribute to appropriate use of this in teaching. I defined two sub-questions that is attempted to be answered in the discussion. The two sub-questions are: 1. How do students´ reason and which strategies do they use? 2. How do problem so…

Hydro-mechanical modelling of a natural slope affected by a multiple slip surface failure mechanism

2009

A coupled hydro-mechanical formulation is presented for the analysis of landslide motion during crisis episodes. The mathematical formulation is used to model a natural slope affected by a multiple slip surface failure mechanism, in which pore water pressure evolution was identified as the main cause for movement accelerations. An elasto-plastic constitutive model is adopted for the behaviour of slip surfaces. Material parameters are obtained by combining the available laboratory tests and the back analysis of some crisis episodes. After being calibrated and validated, the model is applied to improve the understanding of the physical processes involved and to predict the landslide behaviour…

An urban multi-­scale modeling using fuzzy evaluation of accessibility and morphological constraints

2008

International audience; Increasing mobility has contributed since a couple of years to favor urban sprawl. The negative impacts of urban sprawl are well known, in particular the increase of traffic flows and vulnerability of natural resources. Addressing those questions we propose a spatial decision support system based on a multi-scale approach. On the one hand, fractal geometry is used to determine where new urban developments are possible. Here, the central assumption is the fractal nature of urban growth allowing access to various types of amenities: central amenities (retailing, cultural offer...) and peripheral amenities (open landscape). On the other hand, the accessibility to retail…
