LOGICAL AND CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE FOUNDATIONS OF PURE AND APPLIED MATHEMATICS[ ]


The analysis of the foundations of pure and applied mathematics is proposed. The unity of formal logic and of rational Dialectics is methodologically basis of the analysis. The main result is as follows: the concept of “mathematical quantity”-Starting and central concept in mathematics – is meaningless, erroneous and inadmissible one because it represents the following formal-logical and dialectical-materialistic errors: negation of existence of measure of material object. The correct metrical- geometrical and physical interpretations of mathematical relationship show that the set of standard mathematical functions represents error, mistake and blunder. Therefore, pure mathematics does not satisfy the general-scientific criterion of truth: practice is criterion of truth. The obtained results lead to the conclusion that the generally accepted foundations of pure mathematics are a false one, and they should be reconsidered. Results of the critical analysis of the standard foundations of mathematics applied to problems in physics are discussed.

Identification of Dependent Structure and Prediction of Composite Stock Price Index with C-D Vine Copula Approach[ ]


Dependent analysis that is frequently used is Pearson correlation and modelling with regression method. The use of both methods must satisfy the normality assumption. If it is violated then the rank correlation can be used and modelling involve the concept of expected value and density function. If the marginal function of each variable is the same then bivariate or multivariate density function is applied. If it is different then joint density function is applied. With the condition of mutually independent, joint density function can be found by multiplying the marginal functions. However, if the variables are mutually dependent then joint density function can be found by using copula analysis. Analysis of copula is a method to know relationship of two or more variables when each variable can spread normally or not and can be used to the same or different marginal distributions. Vine copula analysis can be used if there are at least two variables. This research used vine copula analysis to analyze composite stock price index and macroeconomic (inflation, exchange rate IDR to USD, and interest rate) data. Vine copula types in this study were C-Vine Copula and D-Vine Copula with ellipse and Archimedean copula family. Dependent structure was obtained from comparing the result of copula family and parameter estimation of each type copula based on AIC and BIC. The best dependent structure in this research was D-Vine copula from Archimedean copula family with MLE method. Furthermore, dependent structure was applied to obtain joint density function and computed expected value as copula regression model. Moreover, this study also applied multiple regression as a comparison with copula regression. MAPE score to copula regression was 4.863% and multiple regression was 16.125%. Because of copula regression MAPE score is smaller than the MAPE of multiple regression then it can be concluded that copula regression model is better than multiple regression.

Simulation of Reducing Broadcasting Protocol in Ad Hoc Wireless Networks[ ]


Ad hoc wireless networking is an important research area in the field of wireless networking applications. Mainly I used some wireless topologies, where a temporary peer-to-peer network set up is used to meet immediate need. I have tried to show the best case between the existing system and our proposed system in Mobile Ad hoc network (MANET). In the case of unreliable broadcasting we can use flooding technique. No acknowledgement is needed in flooding technique; only the obligation is to rebroadcast the message from one source to another source in the Mobile ad hoc networks. But some problems may arrive, such as data redundancy, contention and collision. And that’s why I use reliable broadcasting technique. I can cut down the redundancy in this broadcasting technique. My proposed system may work better in case of receiving message without losing data. According to this method we can minimize the cost and power consumption for the establishment of this networks.

THE NEXUS BETWEEN RAW MATERIAL SUPPLIES AND PERFORMANCE OF SMALL AND MEDIUM SCALE MANUFACTURING FIRMS IN NIGERIA[ ]


Inefficiency in raw material supplies of Small and Medium Manufacturing Enterprises in Nigeria has led to inefficient use of production time, labour and other resources due to delays or incessant short down and interruptions during production. This has become inherent part of operations in many manufacturing organizations, which has often led to inability to meet customers’ order and eventual loss of market shares. Therefore, this study empirically looked at the effect of raw material supplies on the performance of Small and Medium Manufacturing Firms in Nigeria. The survey research design method was adopted with a sample size of 148 firms from the population of 283 small and medium manufacturing firms. The proportionate stratified random sampling was used to select samples from each of the manufacturing sub-sectors. Structured questionnaire were distributed to each of the selected small and medium manufacturing firms. The data from the questionnaires were analysed, using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). The findings showed that raw material supplies have positive and direct relationship on the performance of the studied Small and Medium Manufacturing Firms. Therefore, Small and Medium Scale manufacturing Firms in Nigeria while locating their plant must ensure that the factor of closeness to raw materials is taken as a prime consideration above personal, political and tribal considerations. Also, Small and Medium Scale Manufacturing Firms in Nigeria should establish an information pool for raw material supplies that will be distributed to individual respective firms.

A comparative study on the variation of soil temperature at different depths[ ]


For the sake of energy efficiency in building heat pump emerges as a fruitful solution. Geothermal heat pump requires knowing soil temperature at different depths. In a regression analysis conducted for Dhaka division of Bangladesh Islam et al. [1] estimated regression equations for determining soil temperature at different depths from air temperature. The equations are supposed to be applicable to other similar climatic regions of the world. Level of reliability of these equations is claimed to be strong up to 10cm depth. In this paper we have first of all derived equations for determining variations of soil temperature at different depths using the said regression equations. Analogue of these equations is then derived using the sinusoidal temperature model which was obtained by solving the partial differential equation of heat flow in soil. The two sets of equations are then compared. Regression equations estimated in Islam et al.[1] relating air temperature and soil temperature, are not applicable below 10cm depth whereas the sinusoidal temperature model works at all depths. It seems that this study can help estimating soil temperature from air temperature at all depths. It will further help architects and other bodies concerning building construction designing energy efficient building.

Lowend Motorcycle Front brake Lever travel and Braking torque analysis[ ]


The Motorcycles in India uses split type foundation brakes where the hand operated control force of the rider is used to initiate front wheel braking. In the motorcycles employed with hydraulic disc brakes, the control force is converted into braking torque at the brake disc and is used to slow down the vehicle or to bring it to a complete halt. During a panic braking event, the perception time is very short and calls for quick braking action and short stopping distance. These objectives can be performed by targeting lever travel to achieve quick braking action and augmenting braking torque pertaining to attain shorter stopping distance. The work presents physical process of motorcycle front braking in the form of validated mathematical equations that has common variables. These variables can be targeted to achieve multi-objective optimization of disc brakes that corresponds to quick braking action and reduced stopping distance simultaneously.
