in this paper, analysis of fluid flow and heat transfer over the bank of tubes is considered. k-ω sst model is applied for simulation of turbulent flow. in this paper, the improvement of efficiency of a bundle of circular tubes by changing the shape of the cross section of one row of the pipes to the elliptical cross section as an innovative plan is considered. as know, friction factor in turbu...

Traditionally, query execution engines in relational databases have followed a query-centric model: They optimize and execute each incoming query using a separate execution plan, independent of other concurrent queries. For workloads with low contention for resources, or workloads with short-lived queries, this model makes the optimization phase faster and creates efficient execution plans. For...

The desire to reduce the amount of low-loss, circularwaveguide delay line required in a pulse-compressing power distribution system for the Next Linear Collider has led to the pursuit of multi-moded schemes [1]. In such a system, power is delivered to different destinations through the same waveguide via different propagating modes. Current plans [2] utilize two modes, with manipulations done p...

background: stereotactic radiosurgery is an important clinical tool for the treatment of small lesions in the brain, including benign conditions, malignant and localized metastatic tumors. a dosimetry study was performed for elekta ‘synergy s ’ as a dedicated stereotactic radiosurgery unit, capable of generating circular radiation fields with diameters of 1-5 cm at isocentre using the beam/egs4...

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) plans to launch a geostationary satellite called Engineering Test Satellite VIII (ETS-VIII) in FY 2006. In this paper, a microstrip line array antenna, which has a very simple structure, is introduced to radiate a circularly polarized wave aiming at ETS-VIII applications. This antenna consists of a triangular conducting line with its vertexes rounde...

We address the problem of verifying motion plans for aerial robots in uncertain and partially-known environments. Thereby, the initial state of the robot is uncertain due to errors from the state estimation and the motion is uncertain due to wind disturbances and control errors caused by sensor noise. Since the environment is perceived at runtime, the verification of partial motion plans must b...

Healthy individuals appear to use both vector-coded reach plans that encode movements in terms of their desired direction and extent, and target-coded reach plans that encode the desired endpoint position of the effector. We examined whether these vector and target reach-planning codes are differentially affected after stroke. Participants with stroke and healthy controls made blocks of reaches...
