We present and test a new hybrid numerical method for simulating layerwise-twodimensional geophysical flows. The method radically extends the original ContourAdvective Semi-Lagrangian (CASL) algorithm (Dritschel & Ambaum, 1997) by combining three computational elements for the advection of general tracers (e.g. potential vorticity, water vapor, etc.): (1) a pseudo-spectral method for large scal...

in this study, slag penetration into a magnesia refractory monolithic was investigated by the crucible test method. a synthetic calcium aluminate slag system has been used to study commercial magnesia mix refractory for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 hours at 1450°c and 1600°c. it has been shown that the penetration rate is controlled by a diffusion mechanism at 1450°c. in this case, capillaries are the ...

infant formula has a fatty acid composition that meets the needs of the neonates for unsaturated fatty acids.these fatty acids are of major importance during this period of life in which the brain and retina are developing, and will therefore have an influence upon visual acuity and learning abilities. oxygen reacts readily with unsaturated fatty acids, so that every time these compounds are ha...

Measuring the statistics of galaxy peculiar velocities using redshift-space distortions is an excellent way of probing the history of structure formation. Because galaxies are expected to act as test particles within the flow of matter, this method avoids uncertainties due to an unknown galaxy density bias. We show that the parameter combination measured by redshift-space distortions, fσ 8 prov...

The holistic approaches used for image processing are considered in various types of applications in the domain of applied computer science and pattern recognition. A new image filtering method based on the dynamic particles (DP) approach is presented. It employs physics principles for the 3D signal smoothing. The obtained results were compared with commonly used denoising techniques including ...

nanocrystalline particles of cerium oxide (ceo2) have been prepared by the chemical precipitation method using cerium nitrate and urea with a molar ratio of 1:2. the results revealed that the formation of ceo2 fine particles is influenced by molar ratio of metal nitrates to fuel. well faceted ceo2 nanoparticles, were synthesized by thermal-assisted dissociation method at reflux temperature in a...
