In a recent paper [Abazari R. Application of ( ′ G )-expansion method to travelling wave solutions of three nonlinear evolution equation. Computers & Fluids 2010;39:1957–1963], the (G/G)-expansion method was used to find travelling-wave solutions to three nonlinear evolution equations that arise in the mathematical modelling of fluids. The author claimed that the method delivers more general fo...

The corrugated layer structure bismuth has been successfully tailored into negative thermal expansion along c axis by size effect. Pair distribution function and extended X-ray absorption fine structure are combined to reveal the local structural distortion for nanosized bismuth. The comprehensive method to identify the local structure of nanomaterials can benefit the regulating and controlling...

We modify the classical Shimada-Yamakawa theory of DNA looping by generalizing the form of boundary constraints. This generalization is important in the context of DNA cyclization experiments since it mimics the reduced local rigidity of the ”nicked” DNA loop. Our results indicate that the non-trivial boundary constraints may be responsible for the existing dramatic discrepancy between various ...

The demand for the development of underground spaces has been sharply increased in lieu of saturated ground spaces because the residents of cities have steadily increased since the 1980s. The traditional widely used excavation methods (i.e., explosion and shield) have caused many problems, such as noise, vibration, extended schedule, and increased costs. The vibration-free (and explosion-free) ...

In this paper we provide a new method to generate hard k-SAT instances. Basically, we construct the bipartite incidence graph of a k-SAT instance where the left side represents the clauses and the right side represents the literals of our Boolean formula. Then, the clauses are filled by incrementally connecting both sides while keeping the girth of the graph as high as possible. That assures th...

We present a new method for matching the two twin-processes gb → Ht and gg → Htb in Monte Carlo event generators. The matching is done by defining a double-counting term, which is used to generate events that are subtracted from the sum of the two twin-processes. In this way we get a smooth transition between the collinear region of phase space, which is best described by gb → Ht, and the hard ...
