1 Abstract-A new parameter was recently developed by Jeffery M. Fisher (M.S.) for use in Active Structural Acoustic Control (ASAC) which showed potential for achieving better sound radiation reduction than current parameters. This parameter, known as “Vcomp,” was shown analytically to produce results comparable to control of radiated sound power and volume velocity on a simply supported plate. ...

In this paper, Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method (OHAM) is combined with Galerkin method to investigate the MHD Jeffery-Hamel flows in non-parallel walls for strongly nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Results for velocity profiles in divergent and convergent channels for various values of Hartmann and Reynolds numbers are compared with numerical method (the Runge-Kutta method of order...

DR HOOPER AND I would like to join our colleagues from the International Academy of Nursing Editors (INANE) and highlight the issue of predatory publishing. The term ‘‘predatory publishers’’ was coined by Jeffery Beall, an academic librarian, to describe those publishers who offer fast turnaround—for a price—with minimum or no peer review. The titles of these journals are typically similar to t...

The past few years have seen a marked increase in our understanding of how faces are represented in the brain, with the discovery of new anatomical structures and new algorithms for representing faces. Still, the basic computational mechanism used by the primate visual system to identify faces remains a topic of intense debate. Are faces represented by matching to a set of stored exemplars, or ...
