Floods are common natural catastrophes in Indonesia, particularly during the rainy season. The Parit Berkat water catchment region is one of locations that frequently experience flooding. channel's capacity must be increased to accommodate current discharge, resulting this condition. Several reasons responsible for diminished canal. For instance, inhabitants' activities along canal banks might ...

We study the reflection of a tightly focused Gaussian beam off a near symmetric resonant tunneling structure comprising two identical coupled waveguides. The coupled waveguides are loaded on each side by a spacer layer and a high index prism. Reflection of a Gaussian beam from such a resonant structure is associated with beam distortion and even beam splitting. We start with the distortion of t...

Experimental studies of blood microflows in rectangular biocompatible polymer microchannels measured using micro-particle image velocimetry are reported. The data processing methods, data collection methods, and choice of channel material are demonstrated to impact the velocity profile measurements obtained. Results show that the use of red blood cells as tracer particles creates a large depth ...

An original wall-model for lattice Boltzmann based large-eddy simulation is presented. It relies on either an analytical profile for the velocity profile within the first off-wall cell or the solution of Turbulent Boundary Layer Equations. The latter are solved thanks to a meshless approach to obtain a user-friendly method. The proposed method is observed to be both robust and accurate, yieldin...

Applying a configuration-theoretic approach to study multiple channels, the authors hypothesize that multiplechannel systems make their greatest contributions to firm performance when their structures are properly aligned with their firms’ business-level strategies and with environmental conditions. A conceptual model incorporating these variables is supported in an empirical study of responses...

a three dimensional, compressible, steady, one phase flow of reactant-product mixture in the air side electrode of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (pemfc) is numerically studied in this paper. the mixture is composed of three species: oxygen, nitrogen and water vapor. the performance of the cell is enhanced by partial blockage of the flow field channels. various types of these blocks also ca...

1. 4-Amino-7-hydroxy-2-methyl-5,6,7,8,-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thieno[2,3-b]pyrid ine-3-carboxylic acid, but-2-ynyl ester (SB-205384) and other gamma-aminobutyric acid(A) (GABA(A)) receptor modulators were tested for their effects on GABA-activated chloride currents in rat cerebellar granule cells by use of the whole-cell patch clamp technique. 2. The major effect of SB-205384 on GABA(A)-activated cu...
