On New Picard-Mann Iterative Approximations with Mixed Errors for Implicit Midpoint Rule and Applications by Teng-fei Li, Heng-you Lan

“…Further, some numerical examples and applications to optimal control problems with elliptic boundary value constraints are considered via the new Picard-Mann iterative approximations, which shows that the new Picard-Mann iteration process with mixed errors for the implicit midpoint rule of nonexpansive mappings is brand new and more effective than other related iterative processes.…”

Permanence for a Delayed Nonautonomous SIR Epidemic Model with Density-Dependent Birth Rate by Li Yingke, Chen Liang, Wang Kai

“…Based on some well-known SIR models, a revised nonautonomous SIR epidemic model with distributed delay and density-dependent birth rate was considered. Applying some classical analysis techniques for ordinary differential equations and the method proposed by Wang (2002), the threshold value for the permanence and extinction of the model was obtained.…”

Acoustic Emission Characteristics and Failure Mechanism of Fractured Rock under Different Loading Rates by Yongzheng Zhang, Gang Wang, Yujing Jiang, Shugang Wang, Honghua Zhao, Wenjun Jing

“…Uniaxial tests on a sample containing a single open fracture were simulated under different loading rates ranging from 0.005 to 0.5 m/s. Our results demonstrate the following. (1) The overall trends of stress and strain changes are not affected by the loading rate; the loading rate only affects the strain required to reach each stage. (2) The strain energy rate and acoustic emission (AE) events are affected by the loading rate in fractured rock. …”

The Effect of Personality on Online Game Flow Experience and the Eye Blink Rate as an Objective Indicator by Pei-Luen Patrick Rau, Yu Chien Tseng, Xiao Dong, Caihong Jiang, Cuiling Chen

“…A total of 48 participants were recruited to play an online game and subsequently asked to recall the songs they had heard while they were playing the game. Eye blink rate was recorded. The results demonstrated that (1) the participant was immersed in the game more if he/she was relatively dominant or noncompliant; (2) the perceptions about the external environment declined remarkably while being in a flow state; and (3) eye blink rates decreased only when the flow happened at the beginning of the game, rather than throughout the whole process. …”

Temporal fair active queue management algorithm for multi-rate 802.11 WLAN by HUANG Jia-wei, WANG Jian-xin

“…A temporal fair AQM-TFRED（temporal fair RED） on AP（access point） in multi-rate 802.11 WLAN was proposed.Taking into account the transmission rate of each flow,TFRED set different drop probability for each flow go-ing through the AP to guarantee equal channel usage time for each wireless node.Analysis and simulation results show that,compared with throughput fair AQM algorithms,TFRED achieves temporal fairness,per-flow throughput protection,and increase in total throughput.…”
