The present study focuses on the simulation of highly reactive two-phase flows associated with detonations. A hybrid scheme, that combines a high-order shock-capturing method and a second/fourth-order accurate, low dissipation scheme is first validated by simulating blast wave discharges and shock-vortex interaction. The Large-Eddy Simulation model used in the present formulation is considered ...

background and objectives: efficient cost management in hospitals’ pharmaceutical inventories have thepotential to remarkably contribute to optimization of overall hospital expenditures. to this end, reliable forecasting models for accurate prediction of future pharmaceutical demands are instrumental. while the linear methods are frequently used for forecasting purposes chiefly due to their sim...

We discuss how to combine a front tracking method with dimensional splitting to solve numerically systems of conservation laws in two space dimensions. In addition we present an adaptive grid reenement strategy. The method is unconditionally stable and allows for moderately high cfl numbers (typically 1{4), and thus it is highly eecient. The method is applied to the Euler equations of gas dynam...

We are developing shape recovery technology that can semi-automatically process image sequences using the idea of ” Shape from Motion” . In this paper, we investigate an acquisition and recovery method that processes hybrid feature points extracted from both high-resolution images and video images using the factorization method. The 3D object models are assumed to have N-point column shape, and...

We study the propagation of pulled fronts in the A<--> A+A microscopic reaction-diffusion process using Monte Carlo simulations. In the mean field approximation the process is described by the deterministic Fisher-Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piscounov equation. In particular, we concentrate on the corrections to the deterministic behavior due to the number of particles per correlated volume Omega. By ...

In this paper, the novel application of organic/inorganic perovskite hybrid materials isproposed for grid-connected Photo-voltaic (PV) cells. The perovskite hybrid cells attracted a lot of interest due to their potential in combining advantages of both components. Looking to the future, there is no doubt that these new generations of hybrid materials, born from the very fruitful activitie...

Many techniques for tracking based on gradient descent cannot follow objects as they undergo large movements or deformation. On the other hand, multi-hypothesis trackers capable of handling such behavior are computationally expensive. The standard graph cut technique offers a middle ground, quickly capturing objects anywhere in the image; however, because of its global nature, it is prone to ca...
