In this work, we study the resonance behavior of mechanically oscillated, sessile water drops. By mechanically oscillating sessile drops vertically and within prescribed ranges of frequencies and amplitudes, a rich collection of resonance modes are observed and their dynamics subsequently investigated. We first present our method of identifying each mode uniquely, through association with spher...

where p and q are points on S, G is the free-space Green’s function, ∂/∂nq denotes normal differentiation at q, and uinc is the incident field. The Helmholtz integral equations are familiar boundary integral equations, for which there is a complete theoretical framework (Kleinman and Roach, 1974; Colton and Kress, 1983). Many examples of their numerical treatment, usually using boundary element...

O you the creator, you the destroyer, you who sustain and make an end, Who in sunlight dance among the birds and the children at play, Who at midnight dance among the corpses in the burning grounds, You, Shiva, you dark and terrible Bhairava, You Suchness and Illusion, the Void and All Things, You are the lord of life, and therefore I have brought you flowers; You are the lord of death, and the...

In this paper, the equation of motion for an incompressible transversely isotropic fibre-reinforced elastic solid is derived in terms of a scalar function.   The general solution of the equation of motion is obtained, which satisfies the required radiation condition.  The appropriate traction free boundary conditions are also satisfied by the solution to obtain the required secular equation for...

The encircled energy EEF ( δ ) measures the fraction of the total energy contained within a circle of specified radius ‘δ ’ in the image plane, centered on the diffraction head. This is one of the important parameters in the study of a diffraction image. LORD RAYLEIGH [1] first pointed out the importance of the studies on the encircled energy in the diffraction pattern as an image quality asses...

Introduction. It is well known that when a transparent non-crystalline solid, such as glass, is heated to a uniform temperature Tx and then rapidly quenched in a bath at temperature T0(T1 > T„) there results a non-uniform stress distribution. Depending on T, , one can divide these stresses into two distinct classes. If is sufficiently lower than the softening temperature of the material, then t...

PURPOSE In South Korean ferry disaster in 2014, the captain abandoned the ship with passengers including high school students still aboard. We noticed the resemblance of abandoning the ship with passengers still aboard the ferry (named the Sewol) and the ship Patna, which was full of pilgrims, in Joseph Conrad's novel "Lord Jim." The aim of this study is to see how medical students think about ...

Large bowel volvulus accounts for 10-30% of all large bowel obstruction and occurs most commonly in the sigmoid colon(Asbun 1992, Bagarani 1993, Bhatnagar 2004, Oren 2007, Pahlman 1989 ). It is more common in the region of Africa, South America, Middle East and Southern Asia. The most common site of volvulus include sigmoid colon(80%), caecum(15%), transverse colon(3%), splenic flexure(2%) and ...

Monitoring, control and improvement of quality are  important  for companies.  Process capability indices (PCIs) are tools widely used by the industries to determine  the quality of their products and the performance of their manufacturing processes. Classic versions of  these  indices were constructed for processes whose quality characteristics have  a  normal distribution. But, many of these ...
