In many coupled problems of practical interest the domain of at least one of the problems evolves in time. The Arbitrary Eulerian Lagrangian (ALE) approach is a tool very often employed to cope with this domain motion. However, in this work we aim at describing numerical techniques that allow us to use a fixed mesh for the approximation of moving boundary problems, particularly using the finite...

To evaluate and develop methodologies for the extraction of gel-forming extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), EPS from aerobic granular sludge (AGS) was extracted using six different methods (centrifugation, sonication, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), formamide with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), formaldehyde with NaOH and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) with heat and constant mixing). AGS was ...

In this paper we study a variation of the signature Ale access method for text and attribute retrieval. According to this method, the documents (or records) are stored sequentially in the “text flle”. Abstractions (“signatures”) of the documents (or records) are stored in the “signature Ale”. The latter serves as a Alter on retrieval: It helps discarding a large number of non-qualifying documen...

Meta-analysis is an important tool for interpreting results of functional neuroimaging studies and is highly influential in predicting and testing new outcomes. Although traditional label-based review can be used to search for agreement across multiple studies, a new function-location meta-analysis technique called activation likelihood estimation (ALE) offers great improvements over convention...

Abstract We present a novel method for the solution of the diÆusion equation on a composite AMR mesh. This approach is suitable for including diÆusion based physics modules to hydrocodes that support ALE and AMR capabilities. To illustrate, we proÆer our implementations of diÆusion based radiation transport and heat conduction in a hydrocode called ALE-AMR. Numerical experiments conducted with ...

This paper presents a complete derivation and implementation of the Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) formulation for the simulation of nonlinear static and dynamic problems in solid mechanics. While most of the previous work done on ALE for dynamic applications was mainly based on operator split and explicit calculations, this work derives the quasi-static and dynamic ALE equations in its si...

Lagrangian codes with mesh moving with the fluid suffer in many cases by mesh distortion leading to tangled mesh which in principle stops the computation as basic assumptions of the numerical method as e.g. positive volume of cells are not valid any more. Arbitrary LagrangianEulerian (ALE) method overcomes this difficulty by untangling or smoothing the mesh and conservative remapping of conserv...

Abstract—The Adaptive Line Enhancer (ALE) is widely used for enhancing narrowband signals corrupted by broadband noise. In this paper, we propose novel ALE methods to improve the enhancing capability. The proposed methods are motivated by the fact that the output of the ALE is a fine estimate of the desired narrowband signal with the broadband noise component suppressed. The proposed methods pr...
