In this study, the propagation of an action potential in a network of excitable elements is studied numerically. The network we consider consists of excitable elements arranged in the shape of a trifurcated structure having three cables. The system has a branch point, a Y junction, at which the three cables are joined. Two types of external stimulations are considered: a single impulsive stimul...

The influence of topology on the strain hardening in uniaxial elongation is investigated using monodisperse comb and dendrigraft model polystyrenes (PS) synthesized via living anionic polymerization. A backbone with a molecular weight Mw,bb = 310 kg mol−1 used for all materials, while number 100 short (SCB, Mw,scb 15 mol−1) or long chain branches (LCB, Mw,lcb 40 are grafted onto backbone. LCB s...

styrene polymerization through frp and atrp methods was carried out at 110oc, while in-depth studies were performed by monte carlo simulation.the changes in monomer conversion, initiator concentration, average molecular weight, and polydispersity index were computed over the course of the polymerization. as the results indicate, compared to atrp, the frp reaches higher conversion in a similar r...

Regarding to the diversified needs of domestic and global customers and various products of domestic and global competitors, importance of agility in supply chain management becomes more important. Suppliers have to provide materials and essential resources of manufacturers in a short time without any lead time.In this research, we identified many criteria for agility in sanitation supply chain...

today, due to the direct and reverse logistics plays an important role in reducing the costs in supply chain. in this paper, in order to provide a closed-loop supply chain network including supply centers, production, distribution, collection, recycling and disposal of a used linear mixed integer programming. this paper to consider multi-period and multi-product in multi-level supply chain and ...

Short title: Transitions of a periodic hydrophilic hydrophobic chain 1 We study a single self avoiding hydrophilic hydrophobic polymer chain, through Monte Carlo lattice simulations. The affinity of monomer i for water is characterized by a (scalar) charge λ i , and the monomer-water interaction is short-ranged. Assuming incompressibility yields an effective short ranged interaction between mon...
