The structure and propagation properties of triple flames subject to buoyancy effects are studied numerically using a high accuracy scheme. A wide range of gravity conditions, heat release, and mixing widths for a scalar mixing layer are computed for ’upright’ and ’inverted’ triple flames (i.e, gravity pointed in parallel and in opposite directions of flame propagation). These results are used ...

The unique radiation exposure conditions that exist in computed tomography (CT), during which thin slices of the patient are irradiated by a narrow, fan-shaped beam of x rays emitted from the x-ray tube during its rotation around the patient, have required the use of special dosimetry techniques to characterize the radiation doses to patients and to monitor CT system performance. This section d...

It is essential to be able to incorporate representation of quantities into models of many domains. Many ontologies attempt to axiomatize a theory of quantities in OWL so that they may incorporate quantities in their ontologies. However, OWL based axiomatizations suffer from a number of problems including the impossibility of representing (and computing) conversions in OWL 1. While there are pr...
