the main issues in nasal surgery are to stabilize the nose in the good position after surgery and preserve the cartilages and bones in the favorable situation and reduce the risk of deviation recurrence. also it is necessary to avoid the synechia formation, nasal valve narrowing, hematoma and bleeding. due to the above mentioned problems and in order to solve and minimize them nasal packing, na...

This work concentrates on the force-network of dry granular materials. The dynamical and static properties of the force-network are studied through simulations and experiments. We study the structural properties of two-dimensional granular packings prepared by random deposition from a source line. We consider a class of random ballistic deposition models based on single-particle relaxation rule...

We perform extensive molecular dynamics simulations of dense liquids composed of bidisperse dimer- and ellipse-shaped particles in two dimensions that interact via purely repulsive contact forces. We measure the structural relaxation times obtained from the long-time α decay of the self part of the intermediate scattering function for the translational and rotational degrees of freedom (DOF) as...

We present results from simulations of regular pentagons arranged in a rectangular die. The particles are subjected to vertical tapping. We study the behavior of the packing fraction, number of contacts and arch distributions as a function of the tapping amplitude. Pentagons show peculiar features as compared with disks. As a general rule, pentagons tend to form less arches than disks. Neverthe...

In a graph G = (V,E), a subset $S⊂V$ is said to be an open packing set if no two vertices of S have a common neighbour in G. The maximum cardinality of an open packing set is called the open packing number and is denoted by $ρ^{o}$. This paper further studies on this parameter by obtaining some new bounds.

It is shown that the quark–gluon interaction induced by instan-tons leads to the quark anomalous chromomagnetic moment. In the instanton-liquid model for the QCD vacuum, the chromomagnetic moment is µ a = − πf 2αs , where f is the packing fraction of instantons in the vacuum.

It remains an open question whether statistical mechanics approaches apply to random packings of athermal particles. Although a jamming phase diagram has recently been proposed for hard spheres with varying friction, here we use a frictionless emulsion system in the presence of depletion forces to sample the available phase space of packing configurations. Using confocal microscopy, we access t...

We present an extension of the Lubachevsky and Stillinger @J. Stat. Phys. 60, 561 ~1990!# packing algorithm to generate packings of polydisperse spheres. The original Lubachevsky–Stillinger algorithm is a nonequilibrium protocol that allows a set of monodisperse spheres to grow slowly over time eventually reaching an asymptotic maximum packing fraction. We use this protocol to pack polydisperse...

Advancements in the synthesis of faceted nanoparticles and colloids have spurred interest in the phase behavior of polyhedral shapes. Regular tetrahedra have attracted particular attention because they prefer local symmetries that are incompatible with periodicity. Two dense phases of regular tetrahedra have been reported recently. The densest known tetrahedron packing is achieved in a crystal ...
