Deterministic analysis of distributed order systems using operational matrix
Duong, P.L.T.,Kwok, E.,Lee, M. Elsevier Science Ltd 2016 Applied mathematical modelling Vol.40 No.3
<P>Recently, distributed order systems as a generalized concept of fractional order have been a major focus in science and engineering areas, and have rapidly extended application across a wide range of disciplines. However, only a few numerical methods are available for analyzing the distributed order systems. This paper proposes a novel numerical scheme to analyze the behavior of single input single output linear systems in the time domain with a single distributed order differentiator/integrator by using operational matrix technique. The proposed method reduces different analysis problems to a system of algebraic equations by using block pulse functions, which makes it easy to handle an arbitrary input. Numerical examples were used to illustrate the accuracy and computational efficiency of the proposed method. The proposed method was found to be an efficient tool for analyzing linear distributed order systems. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.</P>
The effects of topography on local wind-induced pressures of a medium-rise building
P.A. Hitchcock,K.C.S. Kwok,K.S. Wong,K.M. Shum 한국풍공학회 2010 Wind and Structures, An International Journal (WAS Vol.13 No.5
Wind tunnel model tests were conducted for a residential apartment block located within the complex terrain of The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). The test building is typical of medium-rise residential buildings in Hong Kong. The model study was conducted using modelling techniques and assumptions that are commonly used to predict design wind loads and pressures for buildings sited in regions of significant topography. Results for the building model with and without the surrounding topography were compared to investigate the effects of far-field and near-field topography on wind characteristics at the test building site and wind-induced external pressure coefficients at key locations on the building façade. The study also compared the wind tunnel test results to topographic multipliers and external pressure coefficients determined from nine international design standards. Differences between the external pressure coefficients stipulated in the various standards will be exacerbated when they are combined with the respective topographic multipliers.

The introduction of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) to breast reconstruction has allowed surgeons to reexplore the prepectoral implant placement technique in postmastectomy breast reconstruction. Our institution adopted a novel approach using meshed ADM to lessen the financial burden of increased ADM utilization with the prepectoral breast reconstruction. This is a retrospective, single-center review of two-stage prepectoral breast reconstruction using meshed human-derived ADM for anterior prosthesis coverage. Patient demographics, oncologic data, perioperative characteristics, and complications were examined and reported as means with standard deviations. Cost-saving with the meshed technique was evaluated. Forty-eight patients (72 breasts) with a mean age of 48.5 ± 15.0 years (range 26–70 years) were included in the study. The mean follow-up time was 13.2 ± 4.4 months (range 4.1–25.8 months). Nineteen breasts (24.6%) experienced complications, with seromas being the most common complication (12.5%, n = 9). Expander removal and reoperation occurred at a rate of 8.3 and 9.7%, respectively. The average time to drain removal was 18.8 ± 6.6 days (range 8–32 days). Meshed ADM provided an average cost savings of $6,601 for unilateral and $13,202 for bilateral reconstructions. Our study found that human-derived meshed ADM can be safely used in two-staged prepectoral tissue expander-based breast reconstruction and can result in significant cost savings.
