An analytical investigation for the creeping motion of a spherically symmetric fluid-permeable composite sphere composed by a uniform porous core and a uniformly surrounded porous shell located at the center of a spherical cavity filled with an incompressible Newtonian fluid is presented here. In the limit of small Reynolds number, the Stokes and Brinkman equations are solved for the flow field...

The receptors of amine subfamily are specifically major drug targets for therapy of nervous disorders and psychiatric diseases. The recognition of novel amine type of receptors and their cognate ligands is of paramount interest for pharmaceutical companies. In the past, Chou and co-workers have shown that different types of amine receptors are correlated with their amino acid composition and ar...

Modern CNC systems are designed with the function of machining arbitrary parametric curves to save massive data communication between CAD/CAM and CNC systems and improve their machining quality. Although available CNC interpolators for parametric curves generally achieve contouring position accuracy, the specified feedrate, which dominates the quality of the machining processes, is not guarante...

The complete amino acid sequence of the biotinyl subunit from the enzyme transcarboxylase of Propionibacterium shermanii has been determined from the structures of overlapping tryptic and cyanogen bromide peptides together with sequenator analysis on the whole subunit. The subunit contains 123 amino acid residues. Eleven of nineteen residues in the region of biotin attachment, when compared to ...

The area method for Euclidean constructive geometry was proposed by Chou, Gao and Zhang in the early 1990’s. The method can efficiently prove many non-trivial geometry theorems and is one of the most interesting and most successful methods for automated theorem proving in geometry. The method produces proofs that are often very concise and human-readable. In this paper, we provide a first compl...

This paper proposes an integrated approach to Internet video streaming and multicast (e.g., receiver-driven layered multicast (RLM) by McCanne) based on combined wavelet video coding and error control. We design a packetized wavelet video (PWV) coder to facilitate its integration with error control. The PWV coder produces packetized layered bitstreams that are independent among layers while bei...
