We apply a recent extension of the Hele-Shaw scheme to analyze steady compressible viscous flows through micro T-junctions. The linearity of the problem in terms of an appropriately defined quadratic form of the pressure facilitates the definition of the viscous resistance of the configuration, relating the gas mass-flow rate to entrance and exit conditions. Furthermore, under rather mild restr...

Provenance metadata in e-Science captures the derivation history of data products generated from scientific workflows. Provenance forms a glue linking workflow execution with associated data products, and finds use in determining the quality of derived data, tracking resource usage, and for verifying and validating scientific experiments. In this article, we discuss the scope of provenance coll...

a field experiment was conducted in research farm of isfahan university of technology, isfahan, iran in 2011 . various weeding periods were investigated on growth and yield of potato under drip tape and furrow irrigation systems. a split plot arrangement was used in a randomized complete block design with three replications. irrigation treatments were included in main plots and periods of weed ...

Let $G$ be a finite group and $pi_{e}(G)$ be the set of orders of all elements in $G$. The set $pi_{e}(G)$ determines the prime graph (or Grunberg-Kegel graph) $Gamma(G)$ whose vertex set is $pi(G)$, the set of primes dividing the order of $G$, and two vertices $p$ and $q$ are adjacent if and only if $pqinpi_{e}(G)$. The degree $deg(p)$ of a vertex $pin pi(G)$, is the number of edges incident...

It is shown that surface tension effects on the free boundary are regularizing for Hele-Shaw models. This implies, in particular, existence and uniqueness of classical solutions for a large class of initial data. As a consequence, we give a rigorous proof of the fact that homogeneous Hele-Shaw flows with positive surface tension are volume preserving and area shrinking.

Phylogenetic analysis has shown that Escherichia coli is composed of four main phylogenetic groups (A, B1, B2 and D). Characterization of phylogenetic groups is of clinical interest, as group A and B1 generally associated with commensals, whereas most enteropathogenic isolates are assigned to group D, and group B2 is associated with extra-intestinal pathotype. One hundred E. coli strains recove...

1, 8-dioxo-octahydroxanthene derivatives have efficiently been synthesized from dimedone and aromatic aldehydes using [fe(iii)(salen)cl] complex as an efficient and homogeneous catalyst in molten tetrabutyl ammonium bromide. this methodology offers several advantages, such as good yields, short reaction times, simple procedure, and mild conditions.

In this work, the optimization calculations were carried out on quetiapine hemifumarat, 4, and its analogues, 1-5. These calculations were carried out using the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory. The DFT calculations clarified a boat structure for dibenzothiazepine moiety of the molecule which piperazine moiety has a chair conformation. Thermal energies (E), enthalpies (H), and free energies (G) o...

The effects of dietary vitamin E levels on mucosal maltase and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) enzyme activities and on the amount of mucosal malonyldialdehyde (MDA) in broiler chickens were studied in the present study. One hundred and eighty of day old male broiler chicks (Ross 308 strain) were randomly assigned into five groups, each with three replicates and 12 chicks in each replicate. Chickens...
