A two-dimensional compressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) computational model has been developed to study the effect of gassing material on air arc behavior in low voltage circuit breaker. The properties of arc plasma and the electric, magnetic and radiative phenomena have been taken into account in the model. Based on the model, steady state solutions have been performed to study the effect of ...

Opening of the Japan Sea back arc basin was accompanied by extensional tectonics in drifting southwest arc. Various trends Early Miocene grabens suggest multi-directional rifting, which necessarily involved strike-slip components some basin-margin faults. However, such are not well understood. In this work we conducted a field survey Ichishi on northern side Median Tectonic Line, central Japan....

A Helly circular-arc graph is the intersection graph of a set of arcs on a circle having the Helly property. We introduce essential obstacles, which are a refinement of the notion of obstacles, and prove that essential obstacles are precisely the minimal forbidden induced circular-arc subgraphs for the class of Helly circular-arc graphs. We show that it is possible to find in linear time, in an...

This paper presents a new deposition process for directly building cylindrical parts of the 5356 aluminium alloy with variable polarity gas tungsten arc welding (VPGTAW). The relationship between the geometric sizes of the deposited layer and the welding parameters is investigated. A machine vision sensor is used to monitor and control the arc length that is a key welding parameter in the achie...

Arc fault is one of the primary reasons that cause electrical fire. In power supply line, if arc fault occurs, the currents can not make protective equipments act, the arc fault can not be found easily, so electrical fire comes into being. Based on LabWindows/CVI, experimental studied the on-line arc fault detection system. AT89S51 Single Chip Microcomputer is used as lower computer, based on L...

In this paper we prove the Kneser-Poulsen conjecture for large radii. Namely, if a finite number of points in Euclidean space En is rearranged so that the distance between each pair of points does not decrease, then there exists a positive number r0 that depends on the rearrangement of the points, such that if we consider ndimensional balls of radius r > r0 with centers at these points, then th...

The activity-regulated cytoskeletal-associated protein (Arc/Arg3.1) is an immediate early gene that has been widely implicated in hippocampal-dependent learning and memory and is believed to play an integral role in synapse-specific plasticity. Here, we examined the role of Arc/Arg3.1 in amygdala-dependent Pavlovian fear conditioning. We first examined the regulation of Arc/Arg3.1 mRNA and prot...

In order to study the flashover mechanism of polluted insulators under AC voltage, a new arc propagation criterion which is based on an arc root voltage gradient is proposed. This criterion can explain the variation of the arc root voltage gradient in the arc propagation process. Based on this criterion, a new distributed parameter electrical circuit flashover model of polluted insulators is pr...
