Estalishing a nonlinear optimization method for structural reliability analysis [PDF]
مهندسی عمران شریف, 2023 The Hasofer-Lind and Rackwitz-Fiessler (HLRF) algorithm, which is based on the first-order reliability method (FORM), is widely used to estimate failure probability, reliability index, and design point in structural reliability analysis.

Riemannian Gaussian distributions, random matrix ensembles and diffusion kernels
Nuclear Physics B, 2021 We show that the Riemannian Gaussian distributions on symmetric spaces, introduced in recent years, are of standard random matrix type. We exploit this to compute analytically marginals of the probability density functions.

On Probabilistic Risk of Aircraft Collision along Air Corridors
Aerospace, 2021 The separation of aircraft in cruising flight in air corridors is based on the assurance of an extremely low probability of collision due to position inaccuracy caused by navigation errors, atmospheric disturbances, or other factors.

Encounters and conversations: an office café space as a “magnet space”
Japan Architectural Review, 2020 A study was conducted on the activities of office workers at a café space with a lounge in a free‐address office to investigate communication at a “magnet space.” The major results were as follows: (i) The encounter probability between two office workers

New Approaches to Fractal Dimension Estimation With Application to Gray-Scale Images
IEEE Access, 2020 Two new approaches for calculating box-counting fractal dimension (FD) estimates for gray-scale images are considered to overcome some of the limitations of the standard box-counting method, which requires setting a threshold in a pre-processing step ...

A generalization of the standard map and its statistical characterization
Scientific Reports, 2022 From the statistical mechanical point of view, area-preserving maps have great potential and importance. These maps exhibit chaotic and regular behavior separately or together in the available phase space as the control parameter changes.
