[1] In recent years, significant advances have been made in our understanding of the complex flow processes in individual fractures, aided by flow visualization experiments and conceptual modeling efforts. These advances have led to the recognition of several flow regimes in unsaturated individual fractures subjected to different initial and boundary conditions. For an idealized smooth fracture...

Electrostatic correlation effects near charged planar surfaces immersed in a symmetric electrolytes solution are systematically studied by numerically solving the nonlinear six-dimensional electrostatic self-consistent equations. We compare our numerical results with widely accepted mean-field (MF) theory results, and find that the MF theory remains quantitatively accurate only in weakly charge...

Consider the mean field limit of a model for multiple HTTP sources multiplexed through a drop-tail router. The limit may exhibit two stationary regimes. In the fluid regime the flows are independent, there are no packet losses and the average throughput is high. In the turbulent regime the flows are synchronized, there are periodic congestion epochs with packet losses and the average throughput...

Requirements that should be met when determining the regimes of circuits with variable elements are formulated. The interpretation of the variations in the regimes, based on projective geometry, enables adequate expressions for determining and comparing the regimes to be derived. It is proposed to use as the parameters of a generalized equivalent generator of an active two-pole with changeable ...

Abstract So far, interest in policy and political sciences has mostly centered around the varieties of advisory systems (PASs) knowledge regimes consolidated democracies rather than autocracies, which largely remain as black boxes. Drawing on a hybrid literature review, this article aims to fill gap. It reviews selected articles published between 1992 February 2023 Thomson Reuters Web Knowledge...

[1] Precipitation over the north of Australia mainly falls during the wet season and is associated with the Australian monsoon. Recent studies have shown that precipitation in the north and northwest of Australia during the wet season has increased over the past 50 years. In previous work, daily radiosonde data at a single site (Darwin) were used to identify five distinct wet season regimes, ea...

The choice of exchange rate regime has become one of the most important issues once more in many economies after the financial crises in recent years. In the wake of the financial crises, many countries, especially emerging market economies, opted for floating exchange rate regimes by forsaking the pegged regimes. Consequently, an old debate on the choice and determinants of exchange rate regim...

Approaches to performance assessment have been described as 'performance regimes', but there has been little analysis of what is meant by this concept and whether it has any real value. We draw on four perspectives on regimes - 'institutions and instruments', 'risk regulation regimes', 'internal logics and effects' and 'analytics of government' - to explore how the concept of a multi-dimensiona...

In this paper a comparison of static and dynamic parameters of CMOS logic circuits operated in standard and sub-threshold regimes is presented. Analytic models of logic threshold voltage, logic delay and power consumption are derived for the sub-threshold operation regime. Certain analytic models analogies between these two regimes are shown. Threshold voltages of inverter, NAND and NOR logic c...

Despite much attention to how ideas affect policy making, where these ideas come from is a blind spot in comparative political economy. We show that an important source of policy ideas are knowledge regimes—fields of policy research organizations. We show as well that the organization of knowledge regimes is heavily influenced by the organization of their surrounding political economies such th...
