The dump, with the compact rock platform and high steep loose slope that is formed during coal mining, most serious area of soil erosion in a surface mine. Ground fissures are typical geological hazard mining areas. However, effect ground on remains unclear. Rainfall experiments were conducted to determine varying characteristics wetting front, runoff sediment production, denudation rate, as we...

Standard hand and foot roentgenograms from 200 consecutively hospitalised patients with definite or classical rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were read for marginal erosions by three independent observers. For each joint or group of joints analysed the degree of symmetry (S = absolute symmetry, U = unilateral, PS = partial symmetry) was determined. The total number of joints affected significantly co...

BACKGROUND To analyze risk factors associated with gastro-duodenal ulcers and erosions in children. METHODS Open, prospective, multicenter, case-control study carried out in 11 European countries in patients with gastric or duodenal ulcers/erosions and 2 age-matched controls each. Possible risk factors were recorded. Logistic regression models were performed with adjustment for centers and ag...

An analysis is carried out to study the steady two-dimensional stagnation-point flow of a nanofluid over a stretching/shrinking sheet in its own plane. The stretching/shrinking velocity and the ambient fluid velocity are assumed to vary linearly with the distance from the stagnation point. The similarity equations are solved numerically for three types of nanoparticles, namely copper, alumina, ...

In this paper we present a mathematical analysis for the magneto hydrodynamic (MHD) axi-symmetric stagnation-point flow and heat transfer over a shrinking sheet which shrinks axi-symmetrically in its own plane. The governing partial differential equations along with the boundary conditions are first cast into a dimensionless form and then these equations are solved numerically by shooting techn...

After more than a century since its birth, Quantum Theory still eludes our understanding. If asked to describe it, we have to resort to abstract and ad hoc principles about complex Hilbert spaces. How is it possible that a fundamental physical theory cannot be described using the ordinary language of Physics? Here we offer a contribution to the problem from the angle of Quantum Information, pro...

A Eulerian fixed grid approach to simulate the dynamics of two-phase interfaces in the presence of surface tension forces is presented. This level set/vortex sheet method consists of a simplified system of equations that contain individual source terms describing the relevant physical processes at the phase interface explicitly. Hence, this approach provides a framework that will allow for a si...
