Density functional approach was used to study the isotropic- nematic (I-N) transition and calculate the values of freezing parameters of the Gay- Berne liquid crystal model. New direct and pair correlation functions of a molecular fluid with Gay- Berne pair potential were used. These new functions were used in density functional theory as input to calculate the isotropic- nematic transition den...

a new correlation function for the calculation of viscosity for five typical supercritical gases is presented using the rainwater-friend and modified enskog theory. it is shown that by using accurate value for the thermal pressure and co-volume in the modified enskog theory, this correlation function is suitable for calculation of the viscosity of supercritical gases, without any density and te...

This paper presents a new approach to combine cross-correlation functions. The combination is based on a maximum-likelihood approach and uses a non-linear combination scheme. It can be effective for radial-velocity analysis of multi-order spectra, or for analysis of multiple exposures of the same object. Simulations are presented to show the potential of the suggested combination scheme. The te...

A controlled subjective test was carried out to assess selected spatial qualities of three virtual home theatre processors. The subjective results were used to evaluate a number of objective measurements based on the interaural cross-correlation coefficient (IACC). A novel implementation of the IACC was found which appears to correlate well with the subjective data.
