We present the solution to London’s equations for the magnetic fields of a vortex oriented parallel to the planes, and normal to a crystal face, of a layered superconductor. These expressions account for flux spreading at the superconducting surface, which can change the apparent size of the vortex along the planes by as much as 30%. We compare these expressions with experimental results.

Current state-of-the-art mathematical models to investigate complex biological processes, in particular liver-associated pathologies, have limited expansiveness, flexibility, representation of integrated regulation and rely on the availability of detailed kinetic data. We generated the SteatoNet, a multi-pathway, multi-tissue model and in silico platform to investigate hepatic metabolism and it...

Oriented strand board is a widely used construction material responsible for substantial portion of the fire load many buildings. To accurately model oriented response, kinetics and thermodynamics its thermal decomposition combustion were carefully characterized using milligram-scale testing in part I this study. In current work, Controlled Atmosphere Pyrolysis Apparatus II tests performed on r...

Induction motors (IMs) have widely been regarded as one of the most suitable options in automotive industry for electric propulsion systems of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) due to their reliability, ruggedness and low cost. In the past, poor dynamic response of IMs was a key constraint that limited their capability in applications that require speed tracking and fast positioning. However, the...
