Introduction: Modeling of the surface stresses on Europa has been performed to date, considering tidal, nonsynchronous, and polar wander sources of stress [3-6]. The results of such models can be used to match lineament orientation with the candidate stress patterns. Moreover, stratigraphic analysis can be used in combination with stress modeling to infer the evolution of Europa’s surface back ...

the equivalent noise level in large cities has been growing due to the population growth, uncontrolled production of cars, and the existence of worn out cars. on the other hand, heavy traffic has increased the amount of noise problems for residents of medical and educational centers, research institutes and residential area (or sensitive centers to noise) built in highway bounds and it has also...

Nowadays, one of the main problems encountered in minimally invasive surgery and telesurgery is the detection of arteries in tissue. In this study, for the first time, tactile detection of an artery in tissue and distinguishing it from the tumor has been modeled by finite element method. In this modeling, three 2D models of tissue have been created: tissue, tissue including a tumor, and tissue ...

In this research the stress-strain curve of porous Titanium, as a common material for biomedical application, was predicted using the mechanical properties of fully solid Titanium experimental data. Modified Gurson model (Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN) model) was used to predict the plastic response of porous Titanium in compaction. Different values of GTN parameters were used for different i...

The main long-term goal of the project is two-fold: to further develop a new venue in modeling of turbulent mixing using a new spectral theory of turbulence, the quasi-normal scale elimination (QNSE), and to improve the nowcasts and forecasts of the state of the ocean on sub-mesoand mesoscales. The QNSE theory brings turbulence modeling to a new level as it allows one to obtain analytical resul...

Normal failure or risk analyses procedure contains the following steps: 1) modeling process, 2) assessment process of its hazardous extent. 1) Modeling process is the considering procedure that sets the sequence of happening failures or risks. 2) Assessment process is the evaluation procedure that express its hazardous extent quantitatively or qualitatively (probability, seriousness of injury e...

A model of the spatial and temporal distribution of seismicity both before and after the Northridge, California earthquake has been used to estimate the background stress state, loading rate, and some parameters relating to fault friction. A detailed source model was used to calculate the stress change eld from the Northridge mainshock, which 1 was t to the spatial distribution of seismicity. A...

This paper proposes a new technique for acoustic modeling of stressed/unstressed syllables in sentence utterances of American English. Here, relative differences of acoustic features between two consecutive syllables characterizing “stressed” or “unstressed” were introduced into the HMM-based acoustic modeling. This is because syllables can be identified as stressed or unstressed only after com...
