We show that the Euclidean Wasserstein distance between two compactly supported solutions of the one–dimensional porous medium equation having the same center of mass decays to zero for large times. As a consequence, we detect an improved L1–rate of convergence of solutions of the one–dimensional porous medium equation towards well–centered self–similar Barenblatt profiles, as time goes to infi...

We show numerically for continuous-wave beams and experimentally for femtosecond pulses propagating in air, that the collapse distance of intense laser beams in a bulk Kerr medium scales as 1/P;1/2 for input powers P that are moderately above the critical power for self focusing, but that at higher powers the collapse distance scales as 1/P.

Objective: Zataria multiflora (Zm) has been proposed for memory enhancing in Persian traditional medicine; but to now, no study has been carried out in this field yet. The aim of this research was to study the plant effect on spatial memory in scopo...

The transition to turbulence in pipe and plane Couette flow differs from the better understood situation of Taylor-Couette or Rayleigh-Bénard flow in that the laminar profile is stable against infinitesimal perturbations for all Reynolds numbers. Moreover, even when turbulent flow is established, it can spontaneously return to laminar flow. These observations are compatible with the formation o...

By the late 1800s, both phenacetin and acetanilide were used as analgesics and antipyretics, but their acceptance was limited by significant side effects including methemoglobinemia. N-acetyl-p-aminophenol (APAP) is a major metabolite of phenacetin and acetanilide, and is responsible for, both analgesia and antipyresis. APAP was synthesized in 1878 and has a low risk of causing methemoglobinemi...

introduction: gluten is a protein found in grains.  research has shown that the gluten that is in grains of wheat, barley, rye, and oats (to a lesser degree) is toxic to many individuals.  while gluten is essential for the make-up of these 4 grains, our bodies do not need it. is it healthful?  the protein in today’s wheat is poorly digested and can be harmful.  an estimated 95% of prepared food...
