Various scaling methods such as relative viscosity, Peclet and Reynolds scaling were used to find the best scaling law. Scaling and modeling of the flow curves of various model emulsions consist of Tragacanth Gum (TG) (0.5, 1 % wt), Oleic acid (5, 10% v/v) and WPI (2, 4 % wt) were investigated and the best models were selected. As these emulsions are non-Newtonian, they do not obey the usual...

study of the spatial variability of infiltration characteristics is essential to estimating infiltration parameters on a local scale. the objectives of the present study were to scale the parameters of a philip two-term model for infiltration and survey the variability of infiltration characteristics geostatistically using wastewater in the bajgah catchment. infiltration was measured at 30 poin...

Cecal web is a rare entity. We find few cases of cecal web presenting in adult patient as a mass lesion (Gayner et al., 1977) or radiologically space occupying lesion (Raymond et al., 1983; Guttman et al., 1975) but an extensive search of published reports failed to find a case of the cecal web or similar abnormality in neonatal group presenting as an acute intestinal obstruction. Cecal web cas...

An operational semantics of Scheme has been de ned by describing an abstract machine. Its allowed transition sequences are speci ed by the set of derivations in the natural semantics of Scheme. A translation establishes that each derivation in Scheme's natural semantics is justi ed by a valid equation in Scheme's denotational semantics, when the natural semantics is restricted so as to assume t...

Automated negotiation provides an important mechanism to reach agreements among distributed decision makers (Beer et al., 1999; Kraus et al., 1998; Lai et al., 2004; Rosenschein & Zlotkin, 1994). It has been extensively studied from the perspective of e-commerce (Guttman et al., 1998; He et al., 2003; Lopez-Carmona et al., 2006; Sierra, 2004), though it can be seen from a more general perspecti...

tumor growth has a number of features in common with a physical process known as molecular beam epitaxy (mbe). so using the same equations for tumor growth is sensible. however, tumor substrate unlike mbe is not planar that makes necessary a geometrical treatment of the growth equations. a variety of mathematical models have been proposed to describe tumor growth. the justification for these mo...

Sixteen years after Laennec (1819) described the murmur of mitral stenosis, Bouillaud (1835) described a reduplication of the second sound in mitral stenosis. The familiar cadence in mitral stenosis, which results from the presence of this added sound, was likened by Durozier (1862) to the syllables ffou-ta-ta-rou. In 1872 Guttman suggested that this sound might be due not to asynchronism of pu...

Cooking was a breakthrough for mankind that improved the flavor digestibility and quality of food. Heat treatment is an operation widely used in food processing. As heat-processed foods are much appreciated, analytical studies that can assess the changes caused by heating have been demanded from researchers (LAMBELET et al., 2003). Some foods like fats and oils, when heated, suffer thermal oxid...

Two studies address the sequence of understandings evident in preschoolers' developing theory of mind. The first, preliminary study provides a meta-analysis of research comparing different types of mental state understandings (e.g., desires vs. beliefs, ignorance vs. false belief). The second, primary study tests a theory-of-mind scale for preschoolers. In this study 75 children (aged 2 years, ...
