in the present work, an engineering method is developed to predict laminar and turbulent heating-rate solutions for blunt reentry spacecraft at hypersonic conditions. the calculation of aerodynamic heating around blunt bodies requires alternative solution of inviscid flow field around the hypersonic bodies. in this paper, the procedure is of an inverse nature, that is, a shock wave is assumed a...

Spasticity is a common cause of long-term disability in poststroke hemiplegic patients. We investigated whether intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) could reduce upper-limb spasticity after a stroke. Fifteen hemiplegic stroke patients were recruited for a double-blind sham-controlled cross-over design study. A single session of iTBS or sham stimulation was delivered on the motor hotspot ...

In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of a completely inelastic ball on a vertically vibrated plate. We construct a computational model using various forcing waveforms for the plate and generate associated bifurcation diagrams. The forcing functions used are a superposition of two sine waves with an integer ratio of frequencies. We then observe experimentally some of the predictions made b...

We examine the excitations of a quasi-one dimensional easy plane antiferromagnet, in a symmetry breaking applied magnetic field. The antiferromagnetic exchange includes a small Dzyaloshinski Moriya component that produces the easy plane. In the classical continuum limit, this system is described by a double-sine-Gordon field theory, which supports soliton excitations and the multi spin wave bou...

A system of equations is derived which must be satisfied by multiparticle matrix elements of any local operator in field theories with soliton behaviour. Form factors of various operators of interest are calculated exactly by means of the known exact S-matrices in the sine-Gordon, massive Thirring, non-linear a-, and Gross-Neveu models. The finite sine-Gordon wave function renormalization const...

Developmental dyslexia is a condition in which children encounter difficulty learning to read in spite of adequate instruction. Although considerable effort has been expended trying to identify the source of the problem, no single solution has been agreed upon. The current study explored a new hypothesis, that developmental dyslexia may be due to faulty perceptual organization of linguistically...

1. The contrast thresholds of a variety of grating patterns have been measured over a wide range of spatial frequencies.2. Contrast thresholds for the detection of gratings whose luminance profiles are sine, square, rectangular or saw-tooth waves can be simply related using Fourier theory.3. Over a wide range of spatial frequencies the contrast threshold of a grating is determined only by the a...
