The purpose of this work is to explore the nonlinear vibration of a rub-impact Jeffcott rotor. In the first stage, the motion is not affected by the friction force, but in the second stage, the motion is influenced by the normal force and the friction force. The governing equations of the rotor of this model are derived in this paper. In consequence, there appears a difference between the two stages. We establish an approximate analytical solution for nonlinear vibrations corresponding to two stages with the mention of the location of jumps. The obtained results are compared with the numerical integration results. The steady-state response and the stability of the solutions are analytically determined for the two stages. The stability of a full annular rub solution is studied with the help of the Routh–Hurwitz criterion. Effects of different parameters of the system, the saddle-node bifurcation (turning points) and the Hopf bifurcation are presented. The main contribution lies in the analytical approximation solution based on the Optimal Auxiliary Functions Method.

We present the results of the PASS questionnaire adaptation on the Russian sample. The description of the PASS and differences from the original version are provided. The study was conducted in two stages. The first stage involves the allocation of a fixed number of factors – causes of procrastination and personality traits of a procrastinator, and the allocation of the normal frequency distribution of procrastination in the Russian-speaking population. The second stage involves checking the stability of selected factors with the test-retest studies with 30 days delay. The first stage of the study involved 148 subjects, the second stage - 31 subjects. Subjects in both groups were men and women aged 18 to 25 years with at least completed secondary education. Fixed factors of procrastination causes and personality traits of procrastinators were found in the first group of subjects. In the second group of subjects, these data have been verified by test-retest.

This paper proposes a nonlinear control technique to control the position of the Qball-X4 quadrotor using a cascaded methodology of two Adaptive Integral Backstepping Controllers (AIBC). The nonlinear algorithm uses the principle of Lyapunov methodology in the backstepping technique to ensure the stability of the vehicle, and utilizes the integral action to eliminate the steady state error that caused by the disturbances and model uncertainties, as well as, the adaptation law will estimate the modeling errors caused by assumptions in simplifying the complexity of the quadrotor model. The algorithm goes through two stages of cascaded AIBCs; the first stage aims to stabilize the attitude and the altitude of the quadrotor, and the second stage feeds the first stage with the desired attitude values to control the position of the quadrotor.Flight test results show that the proposed algorithm is capable of controlling the position of the nonlinear quadrotor model.

The dynamical behavior of an asymmetrical Jeffcott rotor subjected to a base translational motion is investigated. As the geometry of the skew disk is not well defined, we introduce some randomness. This uncertainty affects a particular parameter in the time-variant motion equations. Consequently, the amplitude of the parametric excitation is a random parameter which leads us to investigate the robustness of the dynamics. The stability is first studied by introducing a transformation of coordinates (feasible in this case) making the problem simpler. Then, far away from the unstable area, the random forced steady state response is computed from the original motion equations. The Taguchi’s method is used to provide statistical moments of the forced response.

Abstract The theory is proposed as a result of this work that under “static” conditions, latex destabilization proceeds through a time-dependent localized polymer-particle dehydration. This dehydration apparently occurs in two stages. In the initial stage more or less reversible aggregates are formed. This creaming is accompanied by a perceptible increase in viscosity. In the second stage the aggregates are further dehydrated and coalescence occurs. This latter process is irreversible. Evidence is presented to support the argument that the prime requirement for the dehydration and, consequently, for the destabilization of high-stability latex is the presence of a static latex surface in contact with an unsaturated gas phase. Three factors involved here are (1) surface area, (2) surface agitation, and (3) the degree of saturation of the gas phase in contact with the surface. In addition, it is shown that particle growth precedes the destabilization and that stability is influenced by a number of other factors, including (1) temperature, (2) polymer concentration, and (3) polymer-particle size, which contribute, either directly or indirectly, to the dehydration process.

The stability of the economic system of a country very much depends on its banking industry. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has been applied widely for measuring efficiency of banks. Limited studies, however, have employed the radial and non-radial DEA models to evaluate efficiency of banks without considering the ranking of the fully efficient banks since those banks have the same efficiency score. Considering the weakness of the radial and non-radial DEA, this paper aims to calculate the banks efficiency of nine commercial banks in Malaysia from 2004 to 2013 by adopting the two-stage of super efficiency slack-based measure (SE-SBM) model. This model can discriminate between the efficient banks and recalculate their efficiency scores. Then, the selected banks were able to be ranked according to their final efficiency scores. Moreover, comparative analyses of the efficiency of the banks and the year-wise efficiency of the selected banks were also conducted. The methodology consists of two stages.  In the first stage the SBM model is run to classify efficient and inefficient banks. In the second stage the super efficiency model is run to rank the efficient banks obtained from the first stage by calculating their super efficiency scores. Our empirical results show that: (1) the efficiency status of the banks fluctuated over the examined period, the high number of the efficient banks is achieved in the years 2006 and 2008, while the year 2012 has the lowest number of the efficient banks. (2) the ranking of the banks fluctuated in the studied period. (3) most of the banks are inefficient in terms of their average efficiency scores. This paper has two limitations. First, the paper did not integrate undesirable output, despite it deals with non-interest income. Second, performance evaluation of Malaysian commercial banks was only compared among the Malaysian banks.

B-lymphocytes normally synthesize small amounts of immunoglobulin, some of which is incorporated into the cell membrane where it serves as receptor of antigen. These cells, on contact with specific antigen, proliferate and differentiate to plasma cells which synthesize and secrete large quantities of immunoglobulin. The two stages of differentiation of this cell line (generation of B-lymphocytes and antigen-driven maturation to plasma cells) are clearly separable during ontogeny and in some immune deficiency diseases. The present report describes morphologic aberrations of B-lymphocytes in two diseases in which second stage differentiation is defective.

In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) the energy of Sensor nodes is not certainly sufficient. In order to optimize the endurance of WSN, it is essential to minimize the utilization of energy. Head of group or Cluster Head (CH) is an eminent method to develop the endurance of WSN that aggregates the WSN with higher energy. CH for intra-cluster and inter-cluster communication becomes dependent. For complete, in WSN, the Energy level of CH extends its life of cluster. While evolving cluster algorithms, the complicated job is to identify the energy utilization amount of heterogeneous WSNs. Based on Chaotic Firefly Algorithm CH (CFACH) selection, the formulated work is named “Novel Distributed Entropy Energy-Efficient Clustering Algorithm”, in short, DEEEC for HWSNs. The formulated DEEEC Algorithm, which is a CH, has two main stages. In the first stage, the identification of temporary CHs along with its entropy value is found using the correlative measure of residual and original energy. Along with this, in the clustering algorithm, the rotating epoch and its entropy value must be predicted automatically by its sensor nodes. In the second stage, if any member in the cluster having larger residual energy, shall modify the temporary CHs in the direction of the deciding set. The target of the nodes with large energy has the probability to be CHs which is determined by the above two stages meant for CH selection. The MATLAB is required to simulate the DEEEC Algorithm. The simulated results of the formulated DEEEC Algorithm produce good results with respect to the energy and increased lifetime when it is correlated with the current traditional clustering protocols being used in the Heterogeneous WSNs.

Abstract The Author endeavored to consult some of the Polish experts who deal with assessing and preventing outburst hazards as to their knowledge and experience. On the basis of this knowledge, an expert system, based on fuzzy logic, was created. The system allows automatic assessment of outburst hazard. The work was completed in two stages. The first stage involved researching relevant sources and rules concerning outburst hazard, and, subsequently, determining a number of parameters measured or observed in the mining industry that are potentially connected with the outburst phenomenon and can be useful when estimating outburst hazard. Then, the Author contacted selected experts who are actively involved in preventing outburst hazard, both in the industry and science field. The experts were anonymously surveyed, which made it possible to select the parameters which are the most essential in assessing outburst hazard. The second stage involved gaining knowledge from the experts by means of a questionnaire-interview. Subjective opinions on estimating outburst hazard on the basis of the parameters selected during the first stage were then systematized using the structures typical of the expert system based on fuzzy logic.

The article presents a methodology for a comprehensive assessment of the environmental situation in Russian Federation regions based on the pollution index and the index of the ecological tension. The evaluation was carried out in two stages. At the first stage, the degree of pollution of the atmosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere of the regions was estimated on the basis of the emission of pollutants into the atmosphere, departing from stationary sources, the formation of solid domestic wastes (SDW) and the discharge of contaminated wastewater. Based on these three indicators, a pollution index was constructed that estimates aggregate pollution level. In the second stage, the authors made the estimation of loads generated by atmospheric emissions, solid waste and waste water discharged into the territory of each region, per capita and in relation to the environmental capacity of the economy. This allows us to take into account the area of pollution, anthropogenic pressure and environmental responsibility of the population, as well as the environmental friendliness of production. On the basis of relative indicators, the index of ecological tension was created.
