We present an uncertainty and sensitivity analysis applied to a thermo-chemical model of radiative heat loads on a capsule entering the Titan atmosphere. A one-dimensional model for the computation of the gas conditions downstream of the vehicle’s bow shock is used to replace expensive CFD field simulations. The CN concentration in the shock layer is computed and fed into a simplified model for...

Ground reaction force data and tibial accelerations from a skin-mounted transducer were collected during rearfoot running at 3.3 m/s across a force platform. Five repetitive trials from 27 subjects in each of 19 different footwear conditions were evaluated. Ground reaction force as well as tibial acceleration parameters were found to be useful for the evaluation of the cushioning properties of ...

The thermal dissociation of C2F5I was studied in shock waves monitoring UV absorption signals from the reactant and later formed reaction products such as CF, CF2, C2F4.

The interaction of a strong plane shock wave with isolated regions of gaseous mixtures was examined through a series of shock tube experiments. Specifically, the non-uniform mixtures examined consisted of a spherical bubble of pure hydrogen or hydrogen-oxygen mixtures surrounded by either an oxygen, nitrogen or air atmosphere. Shocks in the range of Mach 1.7 to 3.7 were studied. The interaction...

New Keynesian dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models with various specifications of technology, markup, and interest rate shocks are estimated Indian data using Kalman filter based pure Bayesian likelihood estimation. Preference found to be important for output determination, whereas markup inflation. News, as contained in stock market variables arising from anticipated rates, affects gr...
