A generalized real-space renormalization scheme is developed for geometrical critical phenomena The renormalization group is parametrized by the standard length-scaling factor and a new redangular area-fraction factor. This rectangular renormalization scheme utilizes relatively small r e m g u l a r sublanices to effeaively renormalize large square lattices. With the area-fraction factor, one c...

electron-probe microanalyses and scanning electron microscopy of chrornitites from some ultramafic members of neyriz ophiolite indicate that sulifides of platinum- group minerals (pgms) occur as solid inclusions in chromite grains. laurite with the general formula of (ru ,os ,lr ) s , and erlichmanite are the main identified sulfide phases. the pgms occur as 4 to 20 microns euhedral to rectangu...

Increment and decrement probe thresholds were measured during the presentation of two types of temporal masking stimuli. In Experiment 1, we measured thresholds for increment or decrement rectangular probes presented during the presentation of an increment or decrement Gaussian masking stimulus. We find that thresholds are higher when the probe and the Gaussian mask are of the same sign (e. g. ...

Functional simulation of sensorineural hearing impairment is an important research tool that can elucidate the nature of hearing impairments and suggest or eliminate compensatory signal-processing schemes. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the capability of an audibility-based functional simulation of hearing loss to reproduce the auditory-filter characteristics of listeners wi...

the efficiency of a collar in reducing the scour depth around circular and rectangular piers is studied at different flow intensities (ratio of upstream shear stress to sediment critical shear stress). rectangular piers aligned with the flow as well as skewed at 5º, 10º, 20º were examined. previous studies had shown that with collar the equilibrium time of scouring increases considerably. to re...

A rectangular drawing is a partition of a rectangle into a set of rectangles. Rectangular drawings have many important applications including VLSI layout. Since the size of rectangular drawings may be huge, compact encodings are desired. Several compact encodings of rectangular drawings without degree four vertices are known. In this paper, we design two compact encodings for rectangular drawin...

the goal of this study was to compare the effect of heater probe thermocoagulation for massive bleeding of peptic ulcers with a control group. between march 1992 and august 1995 we used heater probe thermocoagulation endoscopically to treat 42 patients with active ugl bleeding or nonbleeding visible vessels at the base of ulcer craters within 2-3 hours of admission. we also selected 42 patients...

A comprehensive study of air core recta-coax line (ARCL) based on MEMS surface micromachining technology is presented in this paper. The ARCL-to-semi-rectangular coaxial transmission (SCL) ground-signal-ground (GSG) transition proposed and designed for probe testing integration with MMIC chips. To obtain the characteristic impedance SCL, an equivalent model theoretical derivation process presen...

In previous works, the theoretical and experimental deterministic scalar kinematic structures, vector dynamic structures have been developed to compute exact solution for chaos of exponential pulsons oscillons that is governed by nonstationary three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. To explore properties kinetic energy, rectangular, diagonal, triangular summations a matrix energy general ter...
