A methodology for controlling uid animations is developed using the concept of an embedded controller. A controller acts as an interface between the animator and a general tool for calculating three dimensional uid ow. The major contribution of this paper is that for the rst time, it is possible for computer graphics animators, to specify and control a three dimensional uid animation, without k...

The e ects of uid ow on the solidi cation morphology of pure materials and solute microsegregation patterns of binary alloys are studied using a computational methodology based on a front tracking/ nite di erence method. A general singleeld formulation is presented for the full coupling of phase change, uid ow, heat and solute transport. This formulation accounts for interfacial rejection/absor...

In this paper second order uid stochastic Petri nets (FSPNs) will be used for modelling reward in a performability model. Two variations of the performability model are presented. In the rst one two uid places are used, one of which represents the proot (reward) obtained by operating the system and the other one the buuer, that is approximated continuously. In the second model only one uid plac...

19 to both control the uid ow, and have the discrete control decisions be aaected by observed uid ow. We have provided formal deenition of FSPNs and developed the rules for their dynamic evolution. We have derived coupled systems of partial diierential equations for the transient and the steady-state behavior of FSPNs. Spectral representation of the FSPNs with a single continuous place can be a...

We provide evidence for a rational account of language production, Uniform Information Density (UID, Jaeger, 2006; Levy & Jaeger, 2007). Under the assumption that communication can usefully be understood as information transmission over a capacity-limited noisy channel, an optimal strategy in language production is to maintain a uniform rate of information transmission close to the channel capa...

We formulate the Lagrangian perturbation theory to solve the non-linear dynamics of self-gravitating fluid within the framework of the post-Newtonian approximation in general relativity, using the (3+1) formalism. Our formulation coincides with Newtonian Lagrangian perturbation theory developed by Buchert for the scale much smaller than the horizon scale, and with the gauge invariant linearized...

The magnetic particle dispersion in magnetic uid has been found to depend very much on the type of dispersing media. The water-based magnetic uid has been found to contain large number of inherent clusters even in zero applied magnetic eld. In this paper, we discuss the possible origin of these primary clusters and propose that these clusters are of magnetic origin. The scanning probe microscop...

Indexing individual template molecules with a unique identifier (UID) before PCR and deep sequencing is promising for detecting low frequency mutations, as true mutations could be distinguished from PCR errors or sequencing errors based on consensus among reads sharing same index. In an effort to develop a robust assay to detect from urine low-abundant bladder cancer cells carrying well-documen...
