The effect of variable thermal conductivity and thermal radiation on heat and mass transfer in the MHD flow of a Casson fluid over a porous stretching sheet is investigated. The governing non-linear partial differential equations for the flow, heat and mass transfer are solved by employing the Runge-Kutta fourth order method along with shooting technique. The velocity, temperature and concentra...

The effect of mass transfer on MHD mixed convective flow along inclined porous plate with thermodiffusion have been analyzed on the basis of boundary layer approximations. The fluid is assumed to be incompressible and dense, and a uniform magnetic field is applied normal to the direction of the flow. A Similarity transformation is used to transform the problem under consideration into coupled n...

This approach is equivalent to asking the question, what position, z(t), would the maximum likelihood decoder choose given the noisy bump of activity I(t)? This idea is illustrated in figure 1. Here the red line corresponds to bump at the location of the actual stimulus, U(x(t)). This is then corrupted by noise to give the noisy input profile shown in grey (note that this example uses a high no...

BACKGROUND Chlamydia trachomatis infection (CTI) is the most frequent sexual transmitted disease (STI) in Switzerland but its prevalence in undocumented migrants is unknown. We aimed to compare CTI prevalence among undocumented migrants undergoing termination of pregnancy (ToP) to the prevalence among women with residency permit. METHODS This prospective cohort study included all pregnant, un...

Three different profiles of the straight fin that has a temperature-dependent thermal conductivity are investigated by differential transformation method DTM and compared with numerical solution. Fin profiles are rectangular, convex, and exponential. For validation of the DTM, the heat equation is solved numerically by the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. The temperature distribution, fin effic...

The objective of this work was to examine the changes in the microstructure and macro physical properties caused by the carbonation of normalised CEM II mortar. Samples were prepared and subjected to accelerated carbonation at 20°C, 65% relative humidity and 20% CO2 concentration. On the microstructure scale, the evolutions of the cumulative pore volume, pore size distribution, and specific sur...

We need to consider linear heat losses due thermal bridges for the accurate calculation of building losses. Our research examined a whole building, and different bridge methods were compared. The following techniques included in study: simplified method according Hungarian energy performance regulation where effect can be taken into account by multiplication factors applicable transmittances; c...
