in saturated soils, heating induces thermal expansion of both grains and the pore fluid. lower thermal expansion coefficient of aggregates results in the increase of pore pressure and reduction of the effective stress besides subsequent volume changes due to the dissipation of pore pressure and heat transfer. dissipation of thermally induced pore pressure with time is a coupled thermo-hydro-mec...

in this paper, using a one-dimensional simulation model, the reforming process of sour gas, i.e. ch4, co2, and h2s, to the various charged particles and syngas in a dielectric barrier discharge (dbd) reactor is studied. an electric field is applied across the reactor radius, and thus a non-thermal plasma discharge is formed within the reactor. based on the space-time coupled finite element meth...

we consider the coupled system$f(x,y)=g(x,y)=0$,where$$f(x, y)=bs 0 {m_1}   a_k(y)x^{m_1-k}mbox{ and } g(x, y)=bs 0 {m_2} b_k(y)x^{m_2-k}$$with entire functions $a_k(y), b_k(y)$.we    derive a priory estimates  for the sums of the rootsof the considered system andfor the counting function of  roots.

the politics of shifting to the east, which is interpreted in the statements of turkish islamist politicians as ottomanism, is a newly emerged strategy which is essentially comprehensible in the connection with the history and identity of the ottoman era and the new regional and trans-regional role of turkey. the ideology of ottomanism not only implies the expansion of turkey’s influence on the...

A method for realizing asymmetric (one-way) transmission of discretized light in modulated, linear, and purely passive optical lattices is suggested, which exploits the idea of unidirectional coherent perfect absorption. The system consists of a linear photonic lattice of coupled resonators or waveguides, side coupled to a chain of lossy elements, in which light can avoid the occupation of the ...

In this work, internal moisture profiles obtained either by simulation or experimentally during the convective drying of resorcinol-formaldehyde gels are compared. Such a comparison constitutes an attractive way to validate drying simulation models. X-ray microtomography, a powerful 3D imaging technique, coupled to image analysis is used to determine the internal moisture profiles in a non dest...

When synchronization sets in, coupled systems oscillate in a coherent way. It is possible to observe also some intermediate regimes characterized by incomplete synchrony which are referred to as partial synchronization. The paper focuses on analysis of partial synchronization in networks of linearly coupled oscillators.

Synchronization of neural signals has been proposed as a temporal coding scheme representing cooperated computation in distributed cortical networks. Previous theoretical studies in that direction mainly focused on the synchronization of coupled oscillatory subsystems and neglected more complex dynamical modes, that already exist on the single-unit level. In the present work we study the parame...
