A block lower-upper symmetric Gauss-Seidel (BLU-SGS) implicit dual time-stepping method is developed for moving body problems with hybrid dynamic grids. To simulate flows over complex configurations, a hybrid grid method is adopted in this paper. Body-fitted quadrilateral (quad) grids are generated first near solid bodies. An adaptive Cartesian mesh is then generated to cover the entire computa...

PURPOSE To compare artificial eye amplitudes in enucleated socket with porous polyethylene either spherical or quad-motility implant and study the characteristics of artificial eyes fit with the two orbital implants. METHODS A total of 21 patients were prospectively studied who underwent enucleation because of an intraocular melanoma and the randomization defined a porous polyethylene either ...

It is challenging to stabilise an unmanned quad-rotor aerial vehicle when a dynamic change in its model parameters or failure of its actuator occurs. In this paper, a quad-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is controlled based on model reference adaptive control (MRAC) and a linear quadratic regulator (LQR). The kinematics and dynamics of the quad-rotor are calculated, and Lyapunov’s direct st...

Upon insect herbivory, many plant species change the direction of metabolic flux from growth into defence. Two key pathways modulating these processes are the gibberellin (GA)/DELLA pathway and the jasmonate pathway. In this study, the effect of caterpillar herbivory on plant-induced responses was compared between wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. and quad-della mutants that have const...

This paper presents a novel quad-band power divider with equal power division ratio. The proposed power divider is realized using two cascaded sections of dual-band transformers based on coupled microstrip lines. Limitations of using dual-band quarterwavelength transformers based on coupled lines are studied through parametric analysis to obtain useful design guidelines related to available fab...

The recent outburst of context-dependent knowledge on the Semantic Web (SW) has led to the realization of the importance of the quads in the SW community. Quads, which extend a standard RDF triple, by adding a new parameter of the ‘context’ of an RDF triple, thus informs a reasoner to distinguish between the knowledge in various contexts. Although this distinction separates the triples in an RD...

In this paper, we propose a novel stereoscopic image coder, which consists of a coding unit based on the morphological representation of the wavelet transform coefficients and a disparity compensation unit based on the quad-tree analysis and the disparity compensation between the images of a stereo pair. The coding unit employs a Discrete Wavelet Transform followed by a morphological coder, whi...

In the present paper, we study normalized solutions with least energy to following system: $$\begin{aligned} {\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -\Delta u+\lambda _1u=\mu _1 |u|^{p-2}u+\beta r_1|u|^{r_1-2}|v|^{r_2}u\quad &{}\hbox {in}~{{\mathbb {R}}^N},\\ v+\lambda _2v=\mu _2 |v|^{q-2}v+\beta r_2|u|^{r_1}|v|^{r_2-2}v\quad \int _{{{\mathbb {R}}^N}}u^2=a_1^2\quad \hbox {and}\quad {R}}^N}}v^2=a_2^2, \end{a...

The evolution of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, commonly known as “the Quad”, from a senior-level security dialogue involving U.S., Japan, India, and Australia, to leader-level summit since 2017, speaks volumes about rapidly changing strategic landscape in Indo-Pacific. From very beginning, there have been three driving forces behind rebirth, development, improvement Quad: balancing China...
