The ability to move a grid during a simulation is of critical importance to many types of simulations, including aero-elasticity simulations for wings, gradient-based design optimization, dynamic movement of control surfaces for maneuvering, and surface tracking methods for free surface flows. For structured grids, transfinite interpolation is a robust method for propagating deformations on the...

We offer two noiseless codes for blocks of integers Xn = (X1, . . . , Xn). We provide explicit bounds on the relative redundancy that are valid for any distribution F in the class of memoryless sources with a possibly infinite alphabet whose marginal distribution is monotone. Specifically we show that the expected code length L(Xn) of our first universal code is dominated by a linear function o...

This article will begin by outlining influential attempts by historians and sociologists to develop a more adequate theoretical understanding of past and contemporary childhoods, focusing on the major problems that stem from the pivotal role that ‘developmentalism’ plays in their arguments. I will argue that sociologists can overcome some of their deepest fears about the role of developmental p...

Herpes simplex virus 1 contains seven genes that are necessary and sufficient for origin-dependent DNA synthesis in cultured cells. We have expressed the product of one of these genes, UL9, in insect cells by using a baculovirus expression vector. The apparent size of the UL9 protein, both in insect cells and in herpes simplex virus-infected Vero cells, is 82,000 Da. By using an immunoassay for...

O comportamento humano é um dos objetos de estudo mais interessantes e enigmáticos diversas áreas do conhecimento. Na Sociologia, não poderia ser diferente. Neste sentido, este artigo visa a compreender conceito sociológico intitulado Habitus, sob ótica dois importantes autores: Norbert Elias Pierre Bourdieu. A discussão foi feita com base em uma apresentação introdutória sobre os sociólogos. E...

Multi-dimensional data structures have been widely applied in many data management fields. Spatial data indexing is their natural application, however there are many applications in different domain fields. When a compression of these data structures is considered, we follow two objectives. The first objective is a smaller index file, the second one is a reduction of the query processing time. ...

We present spatially resolved 3 μm spectra of Elias 1 obtained with an adaptive optics system. The central part of the disk is almost devoid of PAH emission at 3.3 μm; it shows up only at 30 AU and beyond. The PAH emission extends up to 100 AU, at least to the outer boundary of our observation. The diamond emission, in contrast, is more centrally concentrated, with the column density peaked aro...
