A numerical study of hemodynamic parameters of pulsatile blood flow is presented in a stenotic artery with A numerical study of hemodynamic parameters of pulsatile blood flow is presented in a stenotic artery with non-Newtonian models using ADINA. Blood flow was considered laminar, and the arterial wall was considered rigid. Studied stenosis severities were 30, 50, and 70% of the cross-section...

We examine how a d-dimensional mass hierarchy can be generated from a d+1-dimensional set up. We consider a d+1–dimensional scalar, the hierarchon, which has a potential as in gauged supergravities. We find that when it is in its minimum, there exist solutions of Hořava-Witten topology R × S/Z with domain walls at the fixed points and anti-de Sitter geometry in the bulk. We show that while stan...

We consider the motion of the brane universe moving in a background bulk space of tachyonic and non-tachyonic type 0B string theory. The effective densities are calculated for both cases and they show different power law behavior. Brane inflation for non-tachyonic type 0B background has the same power law behavior as that for type IIB background. The brane inflation under tachyonic background i...

We have examined X-ray and optical observations of two ultra-luminous X-ray sources, X7 and X10 in NGC4559, using XMM-Newton, Chandra and HST. The UV/X-ray luminosity of X7 exceeds 2.1×10 erg s in the XMM-Newton observation, and that of X10 is > 1.3×10 erg s. X7 has both thermal and power-law spectral components, The characteristic temperature of the thermal component is 0.12 keV. The power-law...

With the proliferation of microcomputer based project management packages Gantt charts have enjoyed a revival in their use. Although Henry L. Gantt is recognized as their developer their origins and provenance are less well known. Gantt was a close associate of Frederick W. Taylor and an advocate of Scientific Management. His paper describing the use of ‘‘graphics’’ for general production plann...

objective(s): one applications of nanotechnology is in the area of medicine which is called nanomedicine. primary instruments in nanomedicine can help us to detect diseases and used for drug delivery to inaccessible areas of human tissues. an important issue in simulating the motion of nanoparticles is modeling blood flow as a newtonian or non-newtonian fluid. sometimes blood flow is simulated ...

This paper reviews the recent developments of space-charge-limited SCL flow or Child-Langmuir CL law in the quantum regime. According to the classical CL law for planar diodes, the current density scales as 3 /2’s power of gap voltage and to the inverse squared power of gap spacing. When the electron de Broglie wavelength is comparable or larger than the gap spacing, the classical SCL current d...

Estimation of Theoretically Plausible Demand Functions From U. S. Consumer Expenditure Survey Data Lester D. Taylor University of Arizona The purpose of this paper is the application of four popular theoretically plausible consumer demand systems to a common cross-sectional data set that combines expenditure data from the quarterly BLS consumer expenditure surveys with price data that are colle...

energy and mass transfer investigations in thermal processing of fruits serve as a breakthrough in the design and scale up of drying systems. diffusivity characteristics and specific energy consumption for drying of fig fruit in a laboratory scale microwave dryer were assessed. several intervals for microwave power intensity including 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, and 2.5 w g-1, and 6 levels of power on-off ...
