In this paper, a 3D double-population thermal lattice Boltzmann BGK scheme is applied to solve three-dimensional, incompressible thermal fluid flow problem. The simplest lattice BGK D3Q6 model, developed based on passive-scalar approach, is proposed to represent the energy distribution function. While the D3Q19 lattice model is chosen to represent density distribution function in order to calcu...

Long range simultaneous distributed strain and temperature sensors have many applications for measurements in the power and oil industries and also for structural monitoring. We present an efficient technique to measure both the intensity and frequency shift at every point along the sensing fibre with a low loss filtering device utilising two in-fibre Mach-Zehnder interferometers. From these tw...

Single-wall carbon nanotubes can be probed optically by elastic light scattering. This effect forms the basis of a technique, termed Rayleigh scattering spectroscopy, for the study of individual nanotubes. Spectroscopic information on the electronic transitions of both semiconducting and metallic nanotubes is obtained by measuring the elastic scattering cross section as a function of photon ene...

Recent work on mutation-selection models has revealed that, under specific assumptions on the fitness function and the mutation rates, asymptotic estimates for the leading eigenvalue of the mutation-reproduction matrix may be obtained through a lowdimensional variational principle in the limit N → ∞ (where N is the number of types). In order to generalize these results, we consider here a large...

Introduction: Diversity is one of the most commonly used techniques in mobile radio for combatting signal fading. Moreover, equal-gain combining (EGC) has been accepted as an attractive diversity tool due to its improved error performance and the simplicity of its implementation [1]. Two effective techniques have been proposed for the evaluation of error probability (ERRP) in equal-gain combine...
