A composite ice nanotube inside a carbon nanotube has been explored by molecular-dynamics and grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations. It is made from an octagonal ice nanotube whose hollow space contains hydrophobic guest molecules such as neon, argon, and methane. It is shown that the attractive interaction of the guest molecules stabilizes the ice nanotube. The guest occupancy of the hollow ...

In this paper, we consider a two persons zero sum game with imprecise values in payoff matrix. All the imprecise values are assumed to be octagonal fuzzy numbers. An approach for solving problems by using ranking of the fuzzy numbers has been considered to solve the fuzzy game problem. By using ranking to the payoffs we convert the fuzzy valued game problem to crisp valued game problem, which c...

Numerical investigations are performed into the natural convection heat transfer characteristics within a wavy-wall enclosure filled with Cu-water nanofluid. In the paper, the bottom wall of the enclosure has a wavy geometry and is maintained at a constant high temperature, while the top wall is straight and is maintained at a constant low temperature. The left and right walls of the enclosure ...

Swarms of police drones, fleets of overhead delivery bots, and flocks of private security drones are set to multiply the complex interfaces between state, capital, and sense. This paper explores the military and economic enclosure of the atmosphere by drones. For centuries, capitalist enclosure has privatized and secured common spaces: territorializing new power relations into the soil. Enclosu...

Anechoic chambers are used for both emission and immunity testing but the ferrite tiles used to line the inside of the chamber are extremely expensive. This paper describes a method of reducing the number of tiles, whilst ensuring a reliable test environment. In this paper, the ray-tracing method for waves propagation is used for evaluation of the reflectivity level of an anechoic chamber, and ...

The paper presents a new enclosure method for initial value problems in systems of ordinary di erential equations. Like the common enclosure methods (eg Lohner's algorithm AWA), it is based on Taylor expansion. In contrast to them, however, it is an implicit method. The solution sets of nonlinear inequalities have to be enclosed by a Newton-like algorithm. As the presented examples show, the ne...

A method is proposed for e ciently computing moving average lters in regular octagonal windows, as approximations to circular windows. The algorithm requires thirteen operations per pixel irrespective of window size and is faster than existing Fourier-based and recursive methods for all but the smallest windows. Further, new variance-weighted nonlinear lters are introduced, based on moving aver...

In a recent paper, I began with four classical results due to Jacobi, Dirichlet and Lorenz which give the number of representations of a number by various forms involving squares in terms of divisor functions. I deduced another sixteen similar representation theorems involving triangular numbers and/or squares, including celebrated results of Legendre and Ramanujan (and omitted a seventeenth, g...

In this work, we are concerned with the reconstruction of the obstacles by the enclosure method using the farfield measurements in one step. To justify this, first we state the indicator function of the enclosure method linking directly the farfield pattern to the reflected solutions corresponding to the used complex geometrical optics solutions. Second, we use layer potential techniques to der...
