The co-volume integration method, Yee’s scheme, generalized to unstructured mesh is considered and compared with time domain finite element method (TDFE). In order to generate the meshes for which a good quality dual mesh is ensured, a new point placing method for the generation of meshes appropriate for the use of the co-volume method is proposed. Numerical examples are presented which demonst...

Code smells are symptoms in the source code that indicate possible deeper problems andmay serve as drivers for code refactoring. Although effort has been made on identifying divergent changes and shotgun surgeries, little emphasis has been put on predicting the volume of co-changing code that appears in the code smells. More specifically, when a software developer intends to perform a particula...

This paper provides some new results on track fusion for radars. In particular, it provides a relationship between the accuracies of fused tracks for co-located and non co-located radar sensors. The uncertainty volume corresponding to the fused estimate is smaller than the volume of the intersection of the uncertainty ellipsoids associated to the individual sensors. In terms of uncertainty volu...

To determine the role of mediastinal shift after pneumonectomy (PNX) on compensatory responses, we performed right PNX in adult dogs and replaced the resected lung with a custom-shaped inflatable silicone prosthesis. Prosthesis was inflated (Inf) to prevent mediastinal shift, or deflated (Def), allowing mediastinal shift to occur. Thoracic, lung air, and tissue volumes were measured by computer...

The stability constants and complexation reaction between L-glutamine, L-arginine andglycine with Zn (II) , Co (II) and Ni (II) were studied potentiometrically in aqueous solution at25° C and μ=0.1 M KNO3. The overall stability constants log β´s of all species are obtained bycomputer refinement of pH-volume data using BEST computer program. Several models weretested and the lowest δFIT, the bes...

This paper describes the methodology followed to perform a co-simulation between 1D (OpenWAM) and 3D (FLUENT) CFD codes. The Method of Characteristics (MoC) has been chosen to transfer the information between the two domains by properly updating the boundary condition at the shared interface. A short explanation of the MoC is provided, including the modifications needed by the Riemann invariant...

Background: Bisphenol A (BPA), an estrogenic environmental contaminant is also known for oxidative stressinducing effect. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of vitamin C as an antioxidant on the ovary tissue in adult rats treated with BPA. Materials and Methods: Adult female rats (200 ±20 g) were divided into 4 groups (n=6):control, bisphenol A (60μg/Kg/day) , vitamin C (150 mg...

Yee’s scheme for the solution of the Maxwell equations [1] and the MAC algorithm for the solution of the Navier–Stokes equations [2] are examples of co-volume solution techniques. Co-volume methods, which are staggered in both time and space, exhibit a high degree of computationally efficiency, in terms of both CPU and memory requirements compared to, for example, a finite element time domain m...

cobalt is widely used in different industrial processes for production of various synthetic materials. for assessment of human exposure to toxic metal of co (ii), environmental and biological monitoring are essential processes, in which, preparation of samples is one of the most time-consuming and error-prone aspects prior to instrumental analysis. the aim of this study was to achieve optimum f...
