Purpose Thermal analysis of electrical machines is usually performed by using numerical methods or lumped parameter thermal networks depending on the desired accuracy. The analytical prediction temperature distribution based formal resolution partial differential equations (PDEs) harmonic modeling technique (or Fourier method) uncommon in machines. Therefore, this paper aims to present a two-di...

The single channel gating properties of human CaV2.1 (P/Q-type) calcium channels and their modulation by the auxiliary beta1b, beta2e, beta3a, and beta4a subunits were investigated with cell-attached patch-clamp recordings on HEK293 cells stably expressing human CaV2.1 channels. These calcium channels showed a complex modal gating, which is described in this and the following paper (Fellin, T.,...

Analysis of metabolic networks typically begins with construction of the stoichiometry matrix, which characterizes the network topology. This matrix provides, via the balance equation, a description of the potential steady-state flow distribution. This paper begins with the observation that the balance equation depends only on the structure of linear redundancies in the network, and so can be s...

The modeling, simulation, and experimental verification of several MEMS devices are presented. Simulated results include 3D mode analysis, residual stress effects, thermal expansion, nonlinear deflections, time-varying electrostatic forces, process sensitivities, induced currents, and the transient performance in accelerated reference frames. To simulate the performance of these MEMS devices a ...

The mechanical properties of wood fiber-based, commercial papers and metal foils are qualitatively similar, their plane stress, Mode I crack growth resistances have not been reliably correlated with single-valued fracture mechanics parameters for centimeter-scale specimens. Experimentally-measured tip strain fields cracks growing in paper were used to define a three-stage, steady-state mechanis...

The goal of this paper is to establish the applicability of the Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction and the Centre Manifold Theorem for a class of hyperbolic partial differential equation models with nonlocal interaction terms describing the aggregation dynamics of animals/cells in a one-dimensional domain with periodic boundary conditions. We show the Fredholm property for the linear operator obtained ...

Model predictive control (MPC) is an attractive control scheme for embedding fault tolerance since, by being an optimal-control scheme solved online, it enables directly updating of the system model and constraints. Yet, there are several processes and systems where fault accommodation simply by updating the internal MPC model is infeasible. Of particular such interest is process plants with ex...

abstract t he return of capital is fundamental to the intertemporal allocation of resources by changing the consumption behavior and capital accumulation over time. taxation on return of capital increases the marginal product of capital, meaning that capital stock is lower than when capital is not taxed, which results decreased growth and welfare in steady state. this paper studies the impact o...

Here, a two server queueing system with Poisson arrivals and two different types of customers (M/H2/2 queue) is analyzed. A novel straightforward method is presented to acquire the exact and explicit forms of the performance measures. First, the steady state equations along with their Z-transforms are derived for the aforementioned queueing system. Using some limiting behaviors of the steady-st...
