Sweeping is an effective and convenient way for online sample preconcentration in micellar electrokinetic chromatography. The usual procedure includes a hydrodynamic injection step carried out by applying pressure to the sample vial followed by the subsequent sweeping and separation processes. The injected sample volume is limited by the dimensions of the capillary because a part of the capilla...

Fast sweeping methods were developed in the literature to efficiently solve static Hamilton-Jacobi equations. This class of methods utilize the Gauss-Seidel iterations and alternating sweeping strategy to achieve fast convergence rate. They take advantage of the properties of hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs) and try to cover a family of characteristics of the corresponding Hamil...

[1] We present the first ever measurement of the full thermal plasma properties, of an ionospheric patch in full darkness in the noon region where patches are believed to form. Further these data present the first experimental evidence for the Lockwood and Carlson class of mechanisms for forming patches by plasma injection. These data were possible only because of a new measurement capability w...

In this paper, the existence of solutions to a class of non-standard sweeping processes of the form ?u 0 (t) 2 @ C(t) (Au(t)) is established. In contrast to the \classical" sweeping process with A = id, these problems may be degenerated, since there might be no solutions at all.

The application of active flow control on a vertical tail of a typical twin engine aircraft was investigated. Sweeping jets installed into the rudder surface were used and their effect was assessed by force measurements, flow visualization and local pressure distributions. The airfoil forming the tail is a NACA 0012 with a rudder using 35% of its chord. The tests were carried out at the Lucas W...

Data mining applications and techniques are used in many areas as a required knowledge discovery from large data sets. Cloud computing is one of the prevailing models based on IP architecture. Cloud computing is nothing but the delivery of the computing services over the internet to improve the business of many organizations. Cloud systems which can be effectively handle parallel mining since t...

A spatial distance join is a relatively new type of operation introduced for spatial and multimedia database applications. Additional requirements for ranking and stopping cardinality are often combined with the spatial distance join in on-line query processing or internet search environments. These requirements pose new challenges as well as opportunities for more efficient processing of spati...

The basic mechanisms controlling the sweeping efficiency of propagating current sheets are investigated through experiments and analytical modelling. The sweeping efficiency of a current sheet in a parallel plate gas-fed pulsed plasma accelerator is defined as the ratio of the current sheet mass to the total available propellant mass. Permeability of neutrals through the sheet, and leakage of m...

TBA Peter Stone Computer Science Department, University of Texas at Austin, USA Multi-Robot Learning for Continuous Area Sweeping Tasks Abstract: Asmobile robots become increasingly autonomous over extended periods of time, opportunities arise for their use on repetitive tasks. We define and implement behaviors for a class of such tasks that we call continuous area sweeping tasks. A continuous ...
