The Navier-Stokes-Fourier model for a 3D thermoconducting viscous fluid, where the evolution equation for the temperature T contains a term proportional to the rate of energy dissipation, is investigated analitically at the light of the rotational invariance property. Two cases are considered: the Cou-ette flow and a flow with a radial velocity between two rotating impermeable and porous coaxia...

In a recent paper, D.H. Mellor argues that there can be no negative, disjunctive or conjunctive properties. This argument has been criticized by Alex Oliver on the grounds that it rests on a contentious identity criterion for facts, but it seems to me that a simpler criticism is available. In what follows I shall concentrate on Mellor’s argument only in so far as it concerns negative properties...

We study the breakdown of the Stokes-Einstein (SE) and Debye-Stokes-Einstein (DSE) relations for translational and rotational motion in a prototypical model of a network-forming liquid, the ST2 model of water. We find that the emergence of fractional SE and DSE relations at low temperature is ubiquitous in this system, with exponents that vary little over a range of distinct physical regimes. W...

INTRODUCTION The recent global economic crisis is pushing governments worldwide to obtain a more explicit and urgent rationing of resources. The purpose of this study is to provide, through Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), a methodological framework useful for investigating technical efficiency of hospital care. METHODS To validate such framework, we compared 50 Italian public hospital trusts...

The dimensional synthesis is done by using Genetic Algorithm to achieve a desired trajectory. Three problems are analyzed having different curvature. The program is authored in MATLAB ® 2010a. The error is seen to be in the permissible prescribed limit. The prototyping of straight line trajectory analysis is also done in ADAMS ® .

We investigate by molecular dynamics simulations the validity of the frequency-dependent Stokes-Einstein (SE) relation in supercooled liquids at different temperatures. The results indicate that the SE relation holds at intermediate frequencies that correspond to the beta -relaxation and the onset of the alpha -relaxation regimes. Large deviations, which increase as the temperature decreases, a...

in this paper, the (m+1)-step adams-bashforth, adams-moulton, and predictor-correctormethods are used to solve rst-order linear fuzzy ordinary dierential equations. the conceptsof fuzzy interpolation and generalised strongly dierentiability are used, to obtaingeneral algorithms. each of these algorithms has advantages over current methods. moreover,for each algorithm a convergence formula can b...

Notch signaling regulates a vast array of crucial developmental processes. It is therefore not surprising that mutations in genes encoding Notch receptors or ligands lead to a variety of congenital disorders in humans. For example, loss of function of Notch results in Adams-Oliver syndrome, Alagille syndrome, spondylocostal dysostosis and congenital heart disorders, while Notch gain of function...
