We present the results of some experiments on the circular hydraulic jump in normal and superfluid liquid helium. The radius of the jump and the depth of the liquid outside the jump are measured through optical means. Although the scale of the apparatus is rather small, the location of the jump is found to be consistent with the assumption that the jump can be treated as a shock, if the surface...

Spatially homogeneous random walks in (Z+) 2 with non-zero jump probabilities at distance at most 1, with non-zero drift in the interior of the quadrant and absorbed when reaching the axes are studied. Absorption probabilities generating functions are obtained and the asymptotic of absorption probabilities along the axes is made explicit. The asymptotic of the Green functions is computed along ...

We show the existence of a subalgebra A ⊆ P(ω) that satisfies the following three conditions: • A is Borel (when P(ω) is identified with 2). • A is arithmetically closed (i.e., A is closed under the Turing jump, and Turing reducibility). • The forcing notion (A,⊆) modulo the ideal FIN of finite sets collapses the continuum to א0.

The effects of plasma from normal subjects and chronic schizophrenic patients were determined on the rate of learning a pole jump response in rats. The animals were trained to a buzzer CS and electroshock US. Mean trials to a 90 per cent avoidance criterion were determined using a 100 trial cut off. Plasma and other control solutions were given intraperitoneally in the morning and the procedure...

insulin – like growth factor – i (igf-1) plays a role in the skeletal muscle in the development, growth, repair, and maintenance of the tissues in an autocrine / paracrine as well as endocrine fashion. the aim of the present study was to investigate the response of growth factors to two different training methods. 14 male volunteers were selected and divided randomly into two groups. group a (p...

BACKGROUND When landing from a jump, the production of increased intersegmental knee abduction moments and coupled valgus motions has been associated with an increased risk of suffering a noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in one study. This research has led to the development of a clinic-based algorithm that utilizes measures of knee valgus motion, knee flexion range of motion,...

[1] We compare 2-D, quasi-static earthquake nucleation on rate-and-state faults under both ‘‘aging’’ and ‘‘slip’’ versions of the state evolution law. For both versions mature nucleation zones exhibit 2 primary regimes of growth: Well above and slightly above steady state, corresponding respectively to larger and smaller fault weakening rates. Well above steady state, aging-law nucleation takes...

In this paper jump transitions for the fluid model part in second order fluid stochastic Petri nets (FSPNs) are introduced. The extended formalism is defined, and the underlying partial differential equations are derived. With a jump a certain amount of fluid is added to a fluid place or taken out at once. This amount, the jump height, is sampled from a probability distribution. The dynamics of...

The objective of this study was to analyse selected kinematic parameters (time of flying, in-run velocity, take-off velocity, out-run velocity, height of flying at 17 m, height of flying at 75 m, height of flying at 120 m, aerodynamic index at 17 m, aerodynamic index at 75 m, aerodynamic index at 120 m) of the best world-class ski jumpers participating in the two final individual competitions (...
