Solving Absolute Value Equations and Inequalities on a Number Line
<p>Absolute value has often been taught procedurally. Many students struggle with solving absolute value equations and inequalities because they do not have an understanding of the underlying concepts. This study was designed to determine to what extent solving absolute value equations and …

An investigation into the constitution of absolute value inequalities by Grade 12 students in a selection of Western Cape State schools as displayed in students' solutions to a baseline test problem
… is an investigation into the constitution of absolute value inequalities in Grade 12 students' solutions to the problem 2x − 3 < 4 in a baseline Mathematics test conducted in seven schools populated by students from working-class families in the Western Cape of South Africa. This study is …

Network coding
… alphabet [sigma], we prove lower bounds on [the absolute value of sigma]. In one case, we prove [the absolute value of sigma] needs to be doubly-exponential in the size of the network. We also show that it is NP-hard to determine the smallest alphabet size admitting a solution. We then explore …

Moving approximate entropy and its application to the electromyographic control of an artificial hand
… is a low variation of the approximate entropy values between participants. This result, if used in the control of an artificial hand, would eliminate any training requirement. Other methods, mean absolute value, number of zero crossings, sample entropy, standard deviation, skewness and kurtosis …

Mode stabilities and instabilities for scalar fields on Kerr exterior spacetimes
… backgrounds in the full sub-extremal range ([absolute value of]a < M). As an application, we are able to quantitatively control the energy flux along the horizon for solutions to the wave equation in any bounded-frequency regime. This estimate plays a crucial role in the author's recent proof, …

Exploration of the fractal dimension
… fractal dimension of a cloud of points and the absolute value of the slope of the regression line approximating the same cloud of points.

ON ASAI’S FUNCTION ANALOGOUS TO log |η(z)|
… a function analogous to the logarithm of the absolute value of the eta function. In this thesis we reformulate Asai’s function adelically using the theory of admissible representations for GL2 and simultaneously remove the restriction on class number and level. As an application of the method, …

Sensitivity analysis for nonsmooth dynamic systems
… piecewise differentiable functions such as the absolute-value function, and other nonsmooth functions such as the Euclidean norm. This method is accurate, automatable, and computationally inexpensive. Next, given a parametric ordinary differential equation (ODE) with a lexicographically smooth …

Impact of Sex and Stretch-Shortening Cycle Induced-Fatigue on Limb Stiffness and Limb Stiffness Asymmetry During the Stop-Jump
… cycle on lower limb mechanics and asymmetry values in the stop-jump task. The first purpose of the study was to assess the effect of sex and stretch-shortening cycle fatigue on limb stiffness and limb stiffness asymmetry. The second purpose was to assess landing mechanics that are known to be …

Personality and marital satisfaction: The role of similarity and psychological health
… similarity between spouses' personalities and absolute levels of the personality traits among spouses were related to marital satisfaction in a sample of 76 heterosexual couples. Personality characteristics were measured with the Index of Self-esteem and the NEO-Five Factor Inventory, which …

Grid Power Quality with FACTS Devices and Renewable Energy Sources Using Deep Learning Algorithms
… called spanning tree maximum exponential absolute value (ST-MEAV). The novel state estimator is developed based on the combination of the maximum exponential absolute value (MEAV) and a low stretch spanning tree preconditioner. An overall algorithm is presented to show the process. A …

Unique Games Conjecture : the Boolean Hypercube and connections to graph lifts
… random shift k-lifts, if all the nontrivial eigenvalues of a d-regular graph G are at most lambda in absolute value, then with high probability depending only on the number n of nodes of G (and not on k), the absolute value of every nontrivial eigenvalue of the lift is at most Oh(\lambda). This …

Fuzzy Logic, Genetic Algorithms and Next-State Models
… we constructed attempt to minimize the average absolute value of the differences between the original laboratory biological data set and a data set generated by the model itself. The simulated data was constructed in a next-state process. We found that we could construct Fuzzy Logic models that …

A topological generalization of Schwarz' lemma
… that if f(s) is holomorphic in a region, its absolute value has no relative maxima in the interior of the region. Max Zorn has stated and proved a more general, highly axiomatic version of Schwarz' lemma, applicable to certaln families of transformations of a metrizable topological space into …

Box approximation and related techniques in spectral theory
… by the function e[superscript alpha/2] [absolute value of dot], [alpha][greater than] 0. We show that in the case when the symbol of the Wiener-Hopf operator is a rational function with two real zeros the dynamical system r [arrow] Ar possesses a nontrivial attractor of a limit-circle …

Prime Rational Functions and Integral Polynomials
… in terms of their degrees and their critical values, and we derive some conditions for the case of complex polynomials. We consider also the divisibility of integral polynomials, and we present a generalization of a theorem of Nieto. We show that if f(x) and g(x) are integral polynomials such …

An analytic representation of weak mutually unbiased bases
… is weak mutually unbiased bases, for which the absolute value of the overlap of any two vectors in two different bases is 1/√k (where k∣d) or 0. The second is maximal lines through the origin in the Z(d) × Z(d) phase space. The third is an analytic representation in the complex plane based on …

Analysis of the relationship between size and returns in private equity
… is due to the increase in management fees in absolute value. Finally, we discuss potential strategies enabling fund managers to balance this desire to increase management fees whilst protecting the high returns sought by Limited Partners investing in their funds.

Analysis of electromyograph (EMG) for controlling wheelchair motion
… conditioned EMG signal such as: root mean square value and mean absolute value. To classify such kind of signal, a classifier able to withstand uncertainties in data is required. So, in this work a fuzzy classifier is designed and implemented using LabVIEW software. The classifier system is tested …
