Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is an optimization technique with remarkable performance for problem solving. The convergence analysis of the method is still in research. This article ...

Recent advances in the development of implicit constitutive relations to describe the response of both solids and fluids have greatly increased the repertoire of the modeler in his ability to describe ...

Time-dependent Cox regression and landmarking are the two most commonly used approaches for the analysis of time-dependent covariates in time-to-event data. The estimated effect of the time-dependent ...

Slow slip events (SSEs) are another mode of fault deformation than the fast faulting of regular earthquakes. Such transient episodes have been observed at plate boundaries in a number of subduction ...
