Turbulent emulsions are complex physical systems characterized by a strong and dynamical coupling between small-scale droplets large-scale rheology. By using specifically designed Taylor-Couette (TC) shear flow system, we able to characterize the statistical properties of turbulent emulsion made oil dispersed in an ethanol-water continuous solution, at volume fraction up 40%. We find that depen...

in this paper a first step in classifying the fuzzy normalsubgroups of a finite group is made. explicit formulas for thenumber of distinct fuzzy normal subgroups are obtained in theparticular cases of symmetric groups and dihedral groups.

Fluid mixing usually involves the interplay between advection and diffusion, which together cause any initial distribution of passive scalar to homogenize ultimately reach a uniform state. However, this scenario only holds when velocity field is nondivergent has no normal component boundary. If either condition unmet, such as for active particles in bounded region, floating particles, or filter...

Surface forces measurements have been made between adsorbed layers on mica of a cationic polymer (Polymer JR-400) in distilled water, both in the absence and in the presence of the anionic surfactant sodium dodecylsulfate. In the absence of surfactant, the polymer was bound to the oppositely charged mica surface and exhibited hysteresis force curves which were monotonically repulsive up to a co...

Recent reports have described that the equivalent sample size (ESS) in a Dirichlet prior plays an important role in learning Bayesian networks. This paper provides an asymptotic analysis of the marginal likelihood score for a Bayesian network. Results show that the ratio of the ESS and sample size determine the penalty of adding arcs in learning Bayesian networks. The number of arcs increases m...
