When different strain hardening, strain-rate sensitive and temperature softening materials are used for scaled model prototype, the traditional similarity laws of solid mechanics will be broken. Although research works in last twenty years have developed correction methods initial conditions to compensate distortion, their basic factors practically impeded inherent non-direct (depending on unkn...

lopt was set based on scaled nominal values of all muscle-tendon parameters for an average adult male from literature [1]. Scaling algorithm from SIMM was followed. Since the Gastrocnemius muscle was modeled as an effective representation of the two heads, all parameters set were for the bigger, more pennate medial head. Maximal muscle contraction vmax values for all subjects were set as in [2]...

Some phosphorus chemical shifts of quaternary phosphorium salts had previously been reported4 and it was shown that these chemical shifts could be linearly related to the sum of the ob values5 for the corresponding groups in tertiary phosphines. The op values are group contributions which have been scaled so that the methyl group has a value of zero, in analogy to H a m m e t and T a f t o-para...

The wall dependence of length scales used to describe large- and small-scale structures turbulence is examined using highly resolved experiments in zero-pressure-gradient turbulent boundary layers pipe flows spanning the range $2000< Re_\tau <37\ 700$ . Of particular interest influence external intermittency on scaling these scales. It found that when suitable parameters are selected acco...

Using the ARGUS detector at the e+e storage ring DORIS II, we have measured the Michel parameters , , and for ! l  decays in -pair events produced at center of mass energies in the region of the resonances. Using ! as spin analyzing tags, we nd e = 0:68 0:04 0:08, e = 1:12 0:20 0:09, e = 0:57 0:14 0:07, = 0:69 0:06 0:08, = 1:25 0:27 0:14 and = 0:72 0:18 0:10. In addition, we report the combine...

In the presence of nuisance parameters, we derive an explicit higher order asymptotic formula to compare the expected lengths of conndence intervals given by likelihood ratio statistics arising from the usual proole likelihood and various adjustments thereof. Highest posterior density regions, with approximate frequentist validity, are also included in the study.

We present experimental results for the dynamics of cold atoms in a far detuned amplitude-modulated optical standing wave. Phase-space resonances constitute distinct peaks in the atomic momentum distribution containing up to 65% of all atoms resulting from a mixed quantum chaotic phase space. We characterize the atomic behavior in classical and quantum regimes and we present the applicable quan...

This work is concerned with identification of Hammerstein systems whose outputs are measured by set-valued sensors. The system consists of a memoryless nonlinearity which is polynomial and possibly non-invertible, followed by a linear subsystem. The parameters of linear and nonlinear parts are unknown but have known orders. Input design, identification algorithms, and their essential properties...
