A numerical study of 3D electrokinetic flows through micromixers was performed. The micromixers considered here consisted of heterogeneous rectangular microchannels with prescribed patterns of zeta-potential at their walls. Numerical simulation of electroosmotic flows within heterogeneous channels requires solution of the Navier-Stokes, Ernest-Plank and species concentration equations. It is kn...

The existence of shocklets, a kind solitary structure, has been demonstrated in the Earth's foreshock regions for decades. Their formation and evolution are believed to be controlled by ions. However, detailed behavior ions at them not well investigated observationally yet. Here, we investigate shocklet observed Magnetospheric Multiscale mission foreshock. Analysis ion observations reveals that...

dynamic behavior of ground supported cylindrical storage tanks (cst) is of crucial importance because of its applications in industrial complexes. seismic behavior of tanks is greatly affected by the height to diameter ratio, fluid height and fluid type. five csts with different height to diameter ratios, three csts with the same height and diameters but various fluid heights and one cst with t...

The rutting behavior of the red goral (Naemorhedus cranbrooki) was studied at the Breeding Center of Shanghai Zoo from September 16–November 21, 2004. Twenty-three qualitatively distinct behavior patterns was observed. Males showed a more extensive repertoire (18 patterns, 15 carried out only by males) than did females (10 patterns, 6 carried out only by females). Smelling and licking behavior ...

THE FEEDING BEHAVIOR of various members of the genus Conus has been described (Kohn, 1956a, 1959, 1968; Kline, 1956; Nybakken, 1967). Piscivorous species of Conus, for which feeding behavior has been recorded, attack by extending their proboscises. From this extension a radular tooth used but once is injected into the prey, which is later swallowed. The feeding behavior of Conus geographus Linn...

Analysis of audiovisual human behavior observations is a common practice in behavioral sciences. It is generally carried through by expert annotators who are asked to evaluate several aspects of the observations along various dimensions. This can be a tedious task. We propose that automatic classification of behavioral patterns in this context can be viewed as a multiple instance learning probl...
