the present work is the successful extension of an improved equation of state (eos) to refrigerant fluids. the objective is the prediction of isothermal and saturated liquid densities of refrigerants. two temperature-independent parameters appearing in the modified eos are closely related to critical point properties of refrigerant fluids. our results showed that, the proposed eos can predict w...

an analytical equation of state has been previously modified by papari et al. for representing the volumetric properties of molecular fluids. however the performance of that eos has not been yet well investigated for refrigerant fluids. this study extended that equation to 19 liquid refrigerants to predict their densities at isothermal and saturated states. two temperature-independent parameter...

Micromixers are one of the most crucial components of Lab-On-a-Chip devices with the intention of mixing and dispersion of reagents like small molecules and particles. The challenge facing micromixers is typically insufficient mixing efficiency in basic designs, which results in longer microchannels. Therefore, it is desirable to increase mixing efficiency, in order to decrease mixing length, w...

Abstract. U -quantiles are applied in robust statistics, like the Hodges-Lehmann estimator of location for example. They have been analyzed in the case of independent random variables with the help of a generalized Bahadur representation. Our main aim is to extend these results to U -quantiles of strongly mixing random variables and functionals of absolutely regular sequences. We obtain the cen...

We present a short discussion on the expected magnitude of |Ue3| in the context of various scenarios proposed to describe neutrino masses and mixing. Generic expectation is relatively large (> 0.05) values for |Ue3| which occur in many well-motivated theoretical scenarios and models.

The thesis consider the mixing of few (3-4) card shuffling as well as of large (52 card) deck. The thesis is showing the limit on the shuffling to homogeneity elaborated in short program; the thesis is in italian.

Understanding the disparate mixing patterns between quarks and leptons is one of the major challenges in particle theory today. I discuss some of the ways to understand this difference within the seesaw framework using new symmetries of quarks and leptons. After a brief introduction to the various types of seesaw formulae, proposals for understanding large solar and atmospheric mixings for the ...

We review and update the effects of physics beyond the standard model on CP asymmetries in B decays. These asymmetries can be significantly altered if there are important new-physics contributions to B q -B 0 q mixing. This same new physics will therefore also contribute to rare, flavor-changing B decays. Through a study of such decays, we show that it is possible to partially distinguish the d...

We prove that for every bounded linear operator T : X → X, where X is a non-reflexive quotient of a von Neumann algebra, the point spectrum of T ∗ is non-empty (i.e. for some λ ∈ C the operator λI − T fails to have dense range.) In particular, and as an application, we obtain that such a space cannot support a topologically transitive operator.

We present a sufficient condition that a pseudointegrable system has weak mixing property. The result is derived from Veech’s weak mixing theorem for interval exhange [Veech, W.A. Amer.J.Math. 106, 1331 (1984)]. We also present an example whose weak mixing property can be proved by the result.
