In this article, a time dependent partial differential equation is used to model the nonlinear boundary value problem describing heat transfer through a radial porous moving fin with rectangular profile. The study is performed by applying a numerical solver in MATLAB (pdepe), which is a centered finite difference scheme. The thermal conductivity and fin surface emissivity are linearly ...

In this paper we study Copy Number Variation (CNV) data. The underlying process generating CNV segments is generally assumed to be memory-less, giving rise to an exponential distribution of segment lengths. In this paper, we provide evidence from cancer patient data, which suggests that this generative model is too simplistic, and that segment lengths follow a power-law distribution instead. We...

We formally state and prove the wellposedness and the local Lipschitz continuity of the multisurface stress-strain law of nonlinear kinematic hardening type due to Chaboche within the space of time-dependent tensor-valued absolutely continuous functions. The results also include the more general case of a continuous family of auxiliary surfaces.

Generally a simple power law ~ = K E" (where K and n are empirical constants called the strength coefficient and the work hardening coefficient respectively) is used to describe plastic stress-strain dependence of deformable metals (1,2). This equation was employed by Low (3) to describe the uniaxial tensile behavior of an annealed 70/30 brass. The slope of the corresponding double logarithmic ...

We report on a 90 ks Suzaku observation of the radio-loud quasar 4C +74.26. The source was observed in its highest flux state to date, and we find that it brightened by about 20 per cent during the observation. We see evidence of spectral hardening as the count rate increases and also find that the rms variability increases with energy up to about 4 keV. We clearly detect a broadened Fe line bu...

We evaluate the extent to which two mechanisms contribute to the observed size effect of the ultimate yield strength of micropillars of diameters in the range of 1230 mm: dislocation pile-ups, modeled by means of a physically based non-local single-crystal plasticity model; and the short-range interaction of dislocations with the free surface of the micropillars, e.g., through the formation of ...

Intermittent plastic deformation in crystals with power-law behaviors has been reported in previous experimental studies. The power-law behavior is reminiscent of self-organized criticality, and mesoscopic models have been proposed that describe this behavior in crystals. In this paper, we show that intermittent plasticity in metals under tensile deformation can be observed in molecular dynamic...

The new transient X-ray pulsar XTE J0111.2–7317 was observed with Advanced Satellite for Cosmology and Astrophysics (ASCA) on 1998 November 18, a few days after its discovery with the Proportional Counter Array onboard the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. The source was detected at a flux level of 3.6× 10−10 erg cm−2 s−1 in the 0.7– 10.0 keV band, which corresponds to the X-ray luminosity of 1.8 × ...

This paper presents a new formulation of a well known double hardening model often referred to as the Hardening Soil model. As an alternative to the existing Hardening Soil model’s Mohr-Coulomb failure surface, the new formulation allows for the incorporation of smooth failure surfaces, such as the failure surface proposed by Matsuoka & Nakai or that proposed by Lade & Duncan. Although the inco...

before constitution revolution, advocacy in our country governed by islamic law and lawyers introduced as a free profession in means of that law. after that revolution the government promulgated some rules for its regulation as an official profession. by act of bar association independence, this profession declared independent. many lawyers after islamic revolution have been filtrated and by th...
