We report experimental results on the defect turbulent state of undulation chaos in inclined layer convection of a fluid with Prandtl number approximately 1. By measuring defect density and undulation wave number, we find that the onset of undulation chaos coincides with the theoretically predicted onset for stable, stationary undulations. At stronger driving, we observe a competition between o...

We present results of our ab initio studies of electronic and dynamic properties of ideal palladium hydride PdH and its vacancy ordered defect phase Pd3VacH4 with L12 crystal structure proposed theoretically and found experimentally. Quantum and electronic properties of these hydrides, such as phonon dispersion relations and the vacancy formation enthalpies have been studied. Dynamic stability ...

a one-month-old male terrier dog was referred in shock status with a history of anorexia, tachypnea, abdominal distention and progressive weight loss. auscultation of right side of the lungs found enhanced respiratory noises. the thorough auscultation of the opposite side of the chest revealed the presence of typical intestinal sounds. cardiac auscultation revealed muffled heart sounds and a di...

We consider a system composed of a trapped atom and a trapped ion. The ion charge induces in the atom an electric dipole moment, which attracts it with an r−4 dependence at large distances. In the regime considered here, the characteristic range of the atom-ion interaction is comparable or larger than the characteristic size of the trapping potential, which excludes the application of the conta...

venturi flumes are measurement structures commonly used in water systems to measure the flow discharge. some of them are not well installed or present some geometrical defects. the objective of this study is to investigate the hydraulic influence of a number of typical wrong installations and geometrical defects of long-throated venturi flumes: significant positive or adverse slopes, humps and ...

graphene sheet including single vacancy, double vacancy and stone-wales with armchair and zigzag structure was simulated using molecular dynamics simulation. the effect of defects on shear’s modulus, shear strength and fracture  strain was investigated. results showed that these shear properties reduce when the degrees of all kinds of defects increase. the dangling bond in sv and dv defected gr...

We propose a phonetically-guided diagnosis of auditory deficiency, which hinges on a carefully constructed corpus of synthetic sounds. Our aim is to complement the diagnosis of sensorineural hearing deficiencies, in order to improve the correction afforded by auditory prosthesis. We first design a vowel corpus, based upon pairs of twoformant, steady-state synthetic French vowels, where the vowe...

Continuous and discrete dynamical systems have a number of significant differences mainly due to the topological fact that in one case the time scale T R, real numbers, and the corresponding trajectories are connected while in other case T Z, integers, they are not. The correct way of dealing with this duality is to provide separate proofs. All investigations on the two time scales show that mu...

Introduction New characterization Recognizing collapsing words Mono and stereo automata Questions Definitions We will consider finite deterministic automata with a total transition function: Remark Each element of Σ induces via δ a transformation of Q. We will view an automaton as a set of such transformations. Introduction New characterization Recognizing collapsing words Mono and stereo autom...
