A macroscopic theory for capillarity in porous media is presented, challenging the established view that capillary pressure and relative permeability are constitutive parameter functions. The capillary pressure function in the present theory is not an input parameter but an outcome. The theoretical approach is based on introducing the residual saturations explicitly as state variables [as in Ph...

We introduce a strictly deterministic, meaning non-random, rendering method, which performs superior to state of the art Monte Carlo techniques. Its simple and elegant implementation on parallel computer architectures is capable of simulating anti-aliasing, motion blur, depth of field, area light sources, glossy reflection and transmission, participating media, and global illumination. We provi...

One inherent weakness of traditional reliability theory (see eqr 340) is that the system and the components are always described just as functioning or failed. The first attempts to replace this by a theory for multistate systems of multistate components were made in the late 1970s. By the mid 1980s the basic theory in this area was established. The objective of this article is to introduce con...

Communication in the media about climate change in the United States is complicated by the intensely ideologically polarized state of the debate surrounding the issue; moral rhetoric is an important dimension of how ideology is communicated. In this study we examined how moral rhetoric regarding this issue differs on the basis of a publication's perceived ideological lean. To address the questi...

after the collapse of the left extreme ideological camp (communism) in leadership with soviet :union: in 90’s; that must be consider along the collapse of the right extreme ideological camp (fascism) in the mid of twentieth century; the middle right ideological camp (liberalism) in leadership of industrial world countries, to celebrate this victory along with globalization age. in the meantime,...
