Aim of this work was to test the idea of J.-Y.Ollitrault about the parallel squeeze-out type of transversal flow in mid-rapidity region [1]. For this purpose we have performed a computer simulation of the expanding pion gas created in non-central Pb-Pb 158GeV/n collisions. A squeeze-out type of asymmetry parallel to impact parameter in az-imuthal distribution of pions is found and studied. The ...

⎯ A technique for dynamic positioning of the movable electrode in an electrostatic actuator enables stable operation beyond the pull-in displacement and is used to perform squeeze-film damping measurements for different film thicknesses. Measurements at Knudsen numbers ranging between 0.03 and 0.18 are performed. Compact parallel-plate squeeze-film models are verified using the experimental res...

We studied 10 subjects each with melancholic depression evidencing significant motor retardation (RM), Parkinson's disease (PD) with bradykinesia, and normal healthy controls (NC), matched closely for age and gender, on measurements of motor function and depression, and their performance of simple and complex ballistic movements. The simple movements involved the execution of 10 degrees, 20 deg...

Guest exchange in an M4L6 supramolecular host has been evaluated to determine whether host rupture is required for guest ingress and egress. Two mechanistic models were evaluated: one requiring partial dissociation of the host structure to create a portal for guest passage and one necessitating deformation of the host structure to create a dilated aperture for guest passage without host rupture...

We present initial results from our new two-dimensional (radius and latitude), self-consistent model of galactic cosmic rays in the heliosphere. We focus on the latitudinal variations in the solar wind flow caused by the energetic particles. Among other things our results show that the cosmic rays significantly modify the latitudinal structure of the solar wind flow downstream of the terminatio...

We investigate the effect of loading rate on drainage in molecularly thin films of a simple fluid made of quasispherical molecules [octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (OMCTS)]. We find that (i) rapidly confined OMCTS retains its tendency to organize into layers parallel to the confining surfaces, and (ii) flow resistance in such layered films can be described by bulklike viscous forces if one account...

In the Drosophila ventral nerve cord, a small number of neurons express the LIM-homeodomain gene apterous (ap). These ap neurons can be subdivided based upon axon pathfinding and their expression of neuropeptidergic markers. ap, the zinc finger gene squeeze, the bHLH gene dimmed, and the BMP pathway are all required for proper specification of these cells. Here, using several ap neuron terminal...

New Mg-3Zn-2Ca magnesium alloy was prepared using different processing techniques: gravity casting as well as squeeze casting in liquid and semisolid states. Materials were further thermally treated; thermal treatment of the gravity cast alloy was additionally combined with the equal channel angular pressing (ECAP). Alloy processed by the squeeze casting in liquid as well as in semisolid state ...
