We consider a large population of globally coupled subthreshold Morris-Lecar neurons. By varying the noise intensity D, we numerically investigate stochastic spiking coherence (i.e., collective coherence between noise-induced neural spikings). As D passes a lower threshold, a transition from an incoherent to a coherent state occurs because of a constructive role of noise to stimulate coherence between noise-induced spikings. However, when passing a higher threshold of D, another transition from a coherent to an incoherent state takes place due to a destructive role of noise to spoil the spiking coherence. Such an incoherence-coherence-incoherence transition is well-described in terms of the order parameter which is just the mean square deviation of the global potential. In the coherent regime, we also characterize the degree of stochastic spiking coherence by using a coherence measure which reflects the degree of "resemblance" of the global potential to the local potential. Thus, stochastic spiking coherence with large coherence measure is found to occur over a large range of intermediate noise intensity.

In addition to assessing the absolute performance of animals, the impact of certain technological approaches, breeding influence and other external organized factors on the consolidation of pigs groups on certain grounds should be evaluated. Breeding consolidation is a desirable breeding process that is realized through more motivated consolidation of intra-breeding structural units for maintaining a significant level of intergroup differentiation and variability. If the issue relates to the rearing young animals that are introduced into the herd, this is the most urgent issue that needs to be monitored. The purpose of the research is to determine the consociality of the main signs of reproductive ability of the gilts, which are checked at different rates of artificial insemination of sows of the main herd. The research was carried out at the Shubs`ke farm in the Bogoduhivsky District of Kharkiv Oblast at the pig farm for the pure breeding of the Welsh breed pigs (breeding reproductive status from 2014). In order to evaluate the optimal multiplicity (from single to triple), a gilts with a total of 30 heads was selected. The main indicators of reproductive ability of gilts (multiplicity, weight of nest at birth and excommunication and keeping piglets before weaning on day 28) were evaluated. Recalculation on the weight of the litter at weaning at the weight of the nest at extermination in 60 days was carried out in accordance with the current instruction on the boning of pigs. The results of researches were worked out according to traditional methods by the method of variation statistics. Consolidation of individual indicators of reproductive capacity of gilts was calculated to the total number of evaluated animals. In the previous stage of the research, it was found that the use of multiple insemination of gilts compared to single insemination is positively reflected at the level of their reproductive ability. A decrease in the percentage of non-productive inseminants in animal groups has been established. Triple insemination of gilts allows for 1.14 piglets to be obtained more compared to single insemination of the same pigs (p < 0.01). Also, for three times insemination of gilts, in comparison with single insemination, larger nest for weaning were obtained (by 14.24 kg, converted to 60th day p < 0.01). At the same time, the reduction in the keeping of piglets to weaning for increase frequency of insemination of gilts. According to the multiplicity of gilts, the most consolidated level of symptoms per group was obtained for single insemination. Increasing the multiplicity of insemination negatively affected the consolidation of the multiplicity of the piglets (as for determining the coefficients of phenotypic consolidation due to the mean square deviation, so, and for determining the coefficient of variability). The least consolidated in terms of multiplicity were uterus for double insemination. It should also be noted that there is little difference, in general, on the indicators of the theonotypical consolidation of the multiplicity of piglets between different groups of animals. So this difference between the most contrasting groups was 0.447 points for determining the coefficients due to the mean square deviation and 0.397 points for the determination due to the coefficient of variability, respectively. By weight of the same litters at birth, the most consolidated group was gilts, which was inseminated twice. The least consolidated are trimmed three times, respectively. The difference as a whole, according to the indicators of the theonotype consolidation of the mass of the litter’s piglets at birth, between different groups of pigs was even smaller. The difference between the most contrasting groups was 0.270 points for determining the coefficients due to the mean square deviation and 0.260 points for the determination due to the coefficient of variability, respectively. On the basis of the mass of the litter at weaning, the most consolidated level of symptoms was obtained in the group of gilts for triple insemination. The least consolidated group, respectively, was gilts for single insemination. At the same time, on the basis of the weight of the litter at weaning, the slightest differences were obtained after the consolidation of the signs between different groups of pigs. The difference between the most contrasting groups was 0.173 points for determining the coefficients due to the mean square deviation and 0.248 points for the determination due to the coefficient of variation, respectively. At different rates of insemination of gilts, there are no significant differences between the groups between the groups in terms of the consolidation of signs of reproductive ability. Also, there was no clear effect on increasing the multiplicity of insemination of gilts to the consolidation of their signs of reproductive qualities.

Brownian motion is small particles suspended in a liquid tend to move in pseudorandom or stochastic paths through the liquid, even if the liquid in question is inert. By Einstein's theories for Brownian motion referring to the 1905 works, equilibrium relations and viscous friction, osmotic pressure reaching the diffusion coefficient of Brownian particles. In the fluid medium, we will address the deviation (diffusion equation and basically the relationship between the mean square deviation of the particle position and the fluid temperature, the higher the temperature, the greater the mean square deviation, that is, directly proportional to the constant of the diffusion). The importance of this study is the movement of particles and molecules in the fluid medium, whether these molecules are lipids, proteins, we know that viruses and bacteria are having a certain movement in the organism and its systems, we will tend to study their movement within vessels and between fluids body, with two densities and particular conditions, knowing the likely displacement, we will know therapeutic interventions that are probably more effective. The aim of this work is to demonstrate through mathematical applications the Brownian motion.

In this paper, an improved model is presented for analysis of failure probability of the interlayer sliding belts under seismic loads. Firstly, using the theory of the Markov chain, the relation between failure probabilities of specified interlayer sliding belts and elements in this interlayer sliding belt is deduced. Then, the failure function is proposed according to the destructive characteristic of concrete, the pseudo excitation method is utilized in order to obtain the probability distribution of element stresses in specified interlayer sliding belts, and the improved response surface method based on weighted regression is used to calculate the failure probability of elements in specified interlayer sliding belts. Finally, an algorithm is established to calculate the failure probability of the specified interlayer sliding belts. In this paper, the mean value and variance of the tensile strength of elements are changed when interlayer sliding belt is developed. The numerical results show that the conditional failure probability in specified interlayer sliding belts at the head of the dam tends to decrease. However, the tendency of conditional failure probability in the other specified interlayer sliding belts is complicated. And the interlayer sliding belt at head of the concrete gravity dam is the most dangerous. In addition, the tendencies of the mean value and mean square deviation of stresses in different specified interlayer sliding belts are similar. The mean value of stress in different specified interlayer sliding belts tends to decrease but the tendency of mean square deviation changes from decrease to increase. The range of the mean value and the mean square deviation of stress in specified interlayer sliding belts at the heel of the dam is the greatest of all.

Using the semiclassical WKB method and considering the WKB quantization condition, the alpha decay half-lives of 420 alpha emitters were calculated with eight forms of the proximity and Woods–Saxon type potentials. The effect of quantization condition on the nuclear potential, effective potential, assault frequency, tunneling probability, alpha decay half-life, and root mean square deviation between theory and the experiment were investigated. Significant differences between calculated half-lives with and without inclusion of the quantization condition were observed specially for proximity potentials. By including the quantization, the Woods–Saxon potential was found as the best potential for even–even, even–odd, odd–even, odd–odd, and all alpha emitters. The quantization condition normalized the nuclear potentials. Therefore, by considering this condition, the thirteen forms of the prox77 potential with different sets of the surface energy and surface asymmetry constants gave the same results. This result was justified with two sets of parameters.

The temperature readings for all the 365 days and the 24 hours may be fitted through a 3 × 3 matrix (the so-called T-matrix). The mean square deviation between this fit and the actual meteorological measurements is smaller than three degrees Celsius. Four entries of this (nonsymmetric) matrix may be fixed by other means, leaving only five independent components. However, the same method applied to the humidity measurements produces a larger mean square deviation. A strong stochastical connection is found between the T-temperature matrix and the U-humidity matrix. The computer program, in C, may be used to adjust a (2M + 1) × (2m + 1) matrix simply by changing the arguments at the command line and has been tested with m and M ranging from zero to 11 (eleven) (more than 24 readings per day are necessary for larger values of m). The physical meaning of these constants is given only in the case m = M = 1. Our results have also been connected to fundamental cosmological properties: Earth’s orbit, the ecliptic angle, and the latitude of Querétaro (or whatever geographical location is chosen). A separate program calculates the angular position of the Sun as measured in the sky of Querétaro, to determine the length of the day or the mean value of the solar cosine. This work introduces several new variables which happen to be stochastically connected.

This study is mainly directed towards blends of cotton and polyester which are cotton-rich blends. Measurements taken from dyed tracer fibers within the yarn and from physical testing indicate that only yarn count significantly affects several of the migration parameters. Coarser or lower count yarns exhibit slower rates of migration as measured by the mean migration intensity, and also showed a reduced tendency towards migration as measured by the root-mean-square deviation. Yarn count was the most significant parameter affecting yarn quality. Fiber fineness significantly affected thick places, break factors, single-end strengths and elongations. Polyester staple length significantly affected evenness and imperfections. Blend level significantly affected thick places, elongations, neps, and break factors.
